This position offers the opportunity to play an important role in the Firm's financial performance while developing strong relationships with attorneys, clients, and Firm leadership.

· Develop strong relationships with attorneys and serve as a trusted resource on collection matters.

· Partner with Billing and Finance colleagues to resolve issues affecting payment.

· Promote consistent collection practices and accountability across the Firm.

· Recommend improvements to credit and collection practices that support the Firm's continued growth and financial performance.

The ideal candidate will have:

Bachelor degree in Finance/Accounting, with 5+ years of experience, specifically credit and collections experience within a law firm or professional-services environment, and a demonstrated ability to work effectively with attorneys, senior leadership, and clients.

Most importantly, this individual should be comfortable having difficult conversations, capable of gaining cooperation and building trust, and able to balance the need to achieve collection results with the importance of maintaining strong client relationships.

Prior law firm credit and collections experience is strongly preferred.
