• Investigate short payments, billing differences, and account questions to help resolve disputes and support timely account reconciliation.

• Work closely with internal teams, including sales and leadership, when additional coordination is needed to move aged balances toward resolution.

• Support payment operations by handling credit card and e-check transactions, processing refunds, and assisting with remittance research and cash application follow-up.

• Track delinquency trends across assigned accounts and take consistent action to improve collection results and reduce past-due exposure.

• Prepare regular updates on collection activity, account status, and progress against outstanding receivables for management review.

• Manage a high-volume workload that may include review of approximately 1,500 accounts while completing other related duties as needed.

• At least 3-5 years of high-volume collections experience, including responsibility for more than 500 accounts.

• Ability to organize competing priorities and work efficiently in a fast-paced setting.

• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, especially Excel and Word.
