What you'll do:

Lead and mentor a team of collections analysts and specialists, setting goals and tracking KPIs like aging, recovery rates, and service levels.

Serve as the escalation point for tough recoveries and partner with Disputes and Underwriting on shared account risk.
Document collections processes and safeguard against errors, losses, and financial risk (SOC 1, SOX).
Bring AI tools into collections to automate correspondence, triage cases, and surface patterns in delinquency data.
Partner across Finance, Risk, Sales, Operations, and Engineering, and represent collections in cross-functional risk reviews.

About you:

5+ years in collections, accounts receivable, or related fintech or accounting roles, including managing high-volume receivables.
Experience leading or mentoring a team.
Strong grasp of collections processes, billing platforms, and financial compliance standards (SOC 1, SOX a plus).
Sharp analytical and problem-solving skills, with advanced Excel or Google Sheets.
Experience with CRM or ERP systems like Salesforce and Workday.
Clear communicator who can manage relationships and expectations across teams.
Hands-on experience using AI tools to automate or optimize your workflows.
Bonus: SaaS, fintech, or payments experience, familiarity with processor platforms like TSYS or Adyen, and a Bachelor's in Finance or Accounting, or equivalent experience.
