The job duties of a credit and collections manager involve overseeing credit and collections operations for a company or organization. In this career, your responsibilities include running credit checks on each customer, client, or vendor to assess the risk involved in a loan, credit, or other financial agreement. You establish metrics for evaluating risk, and you maintain documentation for each of the accounts under your management. You also set limits on the amount of credit. If a customer builds too much debt, the credit and collections manager initiates collections proceedings. You also ensure quality customer service and approve reimbursement when necessary.
