About the role

We are looking for a Credit Analyst to join our Invoice to Cash team on a contract basis. Invoice to Cash owns everything that happens between a signed order and cash in the bank, including credit, billing support, collections, and cash application. This role works at both ends of that process . At the front , your reviews decide how much credit we extend to a new customer , whether an order for an existing customer with a past due balance should be released, and whether a prospective customer is who they say they are. Once a customer is on board, you keep watching. You will monitor the existing customer base for changes in payment behavior, growing exposure, or outside signals that a customer's ability or willingness to pay has changed, and raise those concerns to Collections and Invoice to Cash leadership before they become a past due balance.

Credit here is a balancing act. Our customer base is growing quickly and includes everything from early-stage startups to some of the largest companies in the world, and much of our revenue is consumption based, so exposure can change fast. We want to protect the company from late payment, non-payment, and fraud without adding friction to the sales process that slows down legitimate customers. You will make that call many times a day, document it in a way that stands up to audit and supports our revenue recognition requirements under ASC 606, and help us improve the policy itself as the business changes.

You will work closely with Sales and Deal Desk, Collections, Revenue Accounting, and Legal , and you will be one of the first people focused full time on credit risk. Recommendations you make about our thresholds, procedures, and tooling will shape how the credit function operates as it grows.

Responsibilities

\n
• Review order release requests for existing customers with past due balances , weighing collection risk against the customer relationship and revenue opportunity, and communicate decisions and conditions clearly to Sales and Collections
\n
• Document every review , decision, and exception so that the credit file supports our collectability assessment under ASC 606 and can be produced for internal and external auditors without rework
\n
• Monitor the existing customer base on an ongoing basis for changes in payment behavior , exposure, or public information that suggest increased risk, and raise concerns proactively to Collections and Invoice to Cash leadership
\n
• Track and report on credit review volume , turnaround time, exposure, and outcomes , and use that data to identify where reviews are adding friction without reducing risk
\n
• Review our current credit risk tolerances, policies, and procedures and recommend enhancements that allow credit to keep pace with the business, including where automation or AI tooling can take on routine reviews
\n
• Support internal and external audits and SOX testing related to credit, and help maintain the procedure documentation the team relies on
\n
• Share what you learn from reviews with Collections, Sales, and Deal Desk so that patterns in credit risk inform how we sell and how we collect
