The candidate will most probably already be in a credit management role, looking to move up, or perhaps sideways into a smaller business where they will be in sole control of the credit management process, making a meaningful difference to the business.

• Have a good attention to detail.
• Have a good understanding of basic accounting principles.
• Have excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Have at least 1 years post qualification experience in a Credit Control role or 3+ years if not qualified.
• Works proactively and ndependently manage own ledgers.
• Easily build rapport with clients and helps to maintain good business relationships.

• Will be persuasive!

If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you. This is a fantastic opportunity for any Credit professional wanting to make a big impact in the business they work for, and to work as part of a small, but tight-knit team in a friendly atmosphere.
