Job Description
Credit Control Manager
Hertfordshire (Hybrid 1 -2 days WFH)
Circa 45,000 - 50,000 + Benefits
We are delighted to be supporting a highly respected and well-established organisation as they continue to invest in the growth and evolution of their finance function. As part of this expansion, our client has created a brand-new opportunity for an experienced Credit Control professional to step into a pivotal leadership role.
This position is not about firefighting. It is about shaping the future of an already capable team, strengthening foundations, and building a forward-thinking, proactive credit control operation.
About You
We are looking to speak with individuals who bring significant experience within credit control or accounts receivable, combined with a proven track record of people leadership. You will be someone who leads by example, enjoys developing others, and understands how to balance performance with wellbeing.
You are likely to be recognised for building high-performing teams that are engaged, positive and commercially focused. Continuous improvement comes naturally to you, and you approach change with energy, clarity and empathy.
The Opportunity
Reporting into senior finance leadership, you will take ownership of a small, settled team of four and focus on developing a culture that is collaborative, motivated and solutions-led. The emphasis is on anticipation rather than reaction - ensuring customer accounts are structured correctly from the outset, potential payment issues are identified early, and robust processes are embedded to prevent delays further down the line.
You will lead the team on a journey, creating an environment where people feel supported, proud of their contribution, and encouraged to continuously improve how things are done.
Key Focus Areas
Providing confident, hands-on leadership to an established credit control team
Coaching, mentoring and developing individuals to build engagement and accountability
Designing and embedding meaningful KPIs that drive the right behaviours and outcomes
Strengthening proactive credit processes to reduce risk and improve cash flow
Enhancing visibility through cash forecasting, insightful reporting and clear dashboards
Introducing preventative controls, such as early identification of PO requirements, expiries or extensions
Partnering with internal stakeholders to resolve issues constructively and sustainably
Why Apply?
Newly created role with real scope to shape and influence
Established, financially stable organisation that is a leader in its field
Opportunity to focus on people development as much as process improvement
Supportive senior leadership with appetite for ideas and innovation
If you are passionate about developing people, building strong credit control functions, and creating teams that genuinely enjoy what they do while delivering excellent results, we would love to discuss this opportunity with you.
