Our client is looking for a Senior Accounts Receivable Officer to look after billing and collections across a portfolio of resident accounts.

It suits someone with consumer collections experience who wants a clear pathway into an AR Manager role.
About Our Client

- Maintain bond and loan registers and keep resident contract records up to date.
- Meet with families at village sites when needed, with pool cars available.
- Work closely with the wider finance team, customer relations and village administration staff.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in accounts receivable or collections, ideally at a senior level.
