Collections & Recoveries Strategy Manager

About KOHO We’re on a mission to make financial services better for every Canadian. That means no hidden fees, no predatory interest rates - just financial products designed to help our users spend smart, save more, and build real wealth. We’re a performance organization with a strong heart: we care deeply about outcomes, and everything ties back to our mission - to financially empower a generation of Canadians. At KOHO, we’re not your average 9-5. We believe real impact comes from people who are trusted, empowered, and supported to do their best work - without sacrificing their lives to do it. We prioritize work-life integration, not just work-life balance. That means asynchronous collaboration, flexible hours, and a remote-first setup built around autonomy and high trust. KOHO is entering its next chapter - leaner, smarter, more AI-integrated. We’re building for impact, not bureaucracy. If you thrive in environments that value clarity, ownership, and bold thinking, you’ll fit right in. About the Role KOHO is looking for a Collections & Recoveries Strategy Manager to build and own our collections function from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to design a collections program at a company transitioning to a full-service bank — one where you'll set the strategy, define the operating model, and directly influence how we treat customers at their most financially vulnerable moments. You will be responsible for the end-to-end collections and recoveries strategy across KOHO's lending portfolio: from early-stage delinquency intervention through to post-charge-off recovery and customer rehabilitation. You'll work closely with Operations, Product, and our BPO partners to design contact strategies, payment programs, and customer-first recovery experiences that reduce losses while treating customers with dignity and respect. You'll also own the strategy for bringing customers back to KOHO after a default — turning what could be a permanent exit into a pathway back to financial health. This role sits at the intersection of analytics, operations, and strategy. The right person is comfortable in the data, decisive under ambiguity, and motivated by the idea that collections done well is a form of customer care. What You'll Be Doing Delinquency & Loss Analytics Own the monitoring and analysis of KOHO's delinquency and loss trends across all lending products — roll rates, cure rates, vintage performance, and charge-off trajectories Build and maintain dashboards and reporting frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into portfolio health and collections performance Identify early warning signals of credit deterioration and propose proactive intervention strategies Define and track the KPIs that matter: right-party contact rate, promise-to-pay rate, promise-to-pay kept rate, gross collections rate by delinquency stage, cost-per-dollar-collected, and post-charge-off recovery rates Contact Strategy & Customer Engagement Design and continuously optimize KOHO's contact #J-18808-Ljbffr KOHO
