We’re looking for a confident and driven Credit Controller to join a busy Payment Team in Manchester. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys working in a fast-moving environment and takes pride in delivering both strong cash collection results and a high level of service to clients.

The Role
You’ll be responsible for managing your own portfolio of accounts, driving collections activity, and building strong relationships with clients and internal teams.

• Managing your own daily collection schedule, with a focus on proactive outbound calls
• Working to meet and exceed individual KPIs, SLAs, and cash collection targets
• Monitoring your performance and understanding key drivers such as aged debt, call activity, and collection rates
• Taking ownership of account queries and escalating where needed
• Liaising with internal teams, including customer service and client experience, to resolve issues efficiently
• Supporting continuous improvement by identifying training or coaching needs
• Maintaining accurate records of all collection activity and client communications
• Contributing to a positive, motivated team environment

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in Credit Control, Customer Service, Complaints Handling, or a similar role
• Strong communication skills and confidence when dealing with clients
• A proactive, target-driven mindset with the ability to manage your own workload
• Good negotiation skills and a practical, problem-solving approach
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, performance-focused environment
• Reliable, punctual, and committed to maintaining high standards

How Success is Measured

• Delivery against KPIs and SLAs
• Cash collection performance and reduction in aged debt
• Outbound call activity and engagement levels
• Debtor days and overall collection efficiency
• Contribution to team performance and service standards

This is an opportunity to join a supportive team where performance is recognised, and where you’ll have the chance to develop your skills in a commercially focused finance environment.

If you’re someone who enjoys a challenge, thrives on hitting targets, and knows how to balance results with great client service, this could be the role for you.
