Job Description:

SF Recruitment are currently recruiting for an experienced Credit Controller to join a long standing manufacturing business on a short-term rolling temporary contract.

This is an ideal opportunity for a confident, end-to-end Credit Controller who can hit the ground running and take ownership of a busy ledger from day one.

  • Salary: c.£28,000 – £30,000pa DOE
  • Contract: Temporary, short-term rolling contract
  • Location: Nottingham
  • Hours: 37 hours per week
  • Working pattern: Monday-Thursday 8:30am-5:00pm, Friday 8:30am-4:00pm
  • Working arrangement: Fully office-based
  • Start date: As soon as possible
  • Parking: Available on site

The role will include:

  • Managing the end-to-end credit control process across a high-volume customer ledger.
  • Chasing outstanding payments and ensuring invoices are paid within agreed terms.
  • Managing approximately 30 invoices per day across the UK customer base.
  • Taking ownership of the export ledger, including chasing and managing outstanding overseas debt.
  • Dealing confidently with customers where payment collection may be more challenging.
  • Investigating queries and resolving issues that may be preventing payment.
  • Maintaining accurate records of customer accounts and keeping the ledger up to date.
  • Working proactively to minimise overdue debt and ensure cash is collected efficiently.
  • Liaising with internal teams and customers to resolve outstanding account issues.

About you:

We’re looking for an experienced Credit Controller who is comfortable managing a ledger independently and can quickly get up to speed and hit the ground running.

You will ideally have:

  • Previous end-to-end Credit Control experience.
  • Experience working within a high-volume environment.
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills, with the confidence to deal with difficult or persistent customers.
  • A proactive and resilient approach to debt collection.
  • The ability to investigate issues, resolve queries and find solutions rather than simply chase invoices.
  • Excellent attention to detail and strong organisational skills.
  • Export credit control experience would be highly advantageous, particularly experience dealing with overseas customers.
  • Experience within a manufacturing environment would also be beneficial but not essential.

Experience of export customers would be advantageous, although this is not essential for the right candidate.

The opportunity:

This is a great opportunity for an experienced Credit Controller who enjoys being hands-on and wants to step straight into a busy role. You’ll be joining a business with a healthy customer ledger and relatively low levels of bad debt, meaning the focus is predominantly on effective collection and account management rather than constantly managing problematic debts.
