As a part of the global industrial organization Marmon Holdings-which is backed by Berkshire Hathaway-you'll be doing things that matter, leading at every level, and winning a better way. We're committed to making a positive impact on the world, providing you with diverse learning and working opportunities, and fostering a culture where everyone's empowered to be their best.
The Director of Collections & Recovery is a senior leader responsible for designing, executing, and continuously optimizing the organization's end-to-end collections strategy. This includes oversight of early-stage, high-risk, late-stage, and outsourced agency operations.

  • Partner with Credit Risk to align underwriting strategy and collections policies with emerging trends.

Operational Excellence
  • Lead early-stage, high-risk, late-stage, and specialty queue operations to ensure consistent execution and compliance.

  • Drive process improvement initiatives to reduce operational friction, improve agent efficiency, and enhance customer experience.
  • Implement and maintain SOPs, call guides, and QA frameworks to ensure consistent performance.

People Leadership
  • Lead, develop, and mentor collections manager and supervisors to build a high-performing, data-driven culture.
  • Establish clear performance expectations, conduct regular coaching sessions, and ensure ongoing leadership development.
  • Facilitate workforce planning, hiring, onboarding, and succession planning for the Collections department.

  • Ensure full compliance with FDCPA, Reg F, UDAAP, TCPA, state regulations, SCRA, and company policies.
  • Partner with Compliance and Legal to monitor regulatory changes and update processes accordingly.
  • Oversee QA monitoring, complaint resolution, and root-cause analysis to mitigate risk and prevent recurrence.
  • Ensure proper documentation and audit readiness for all collections processes and vendor relationships.

Vendor & Agency Management
  • Manage relationships with third-party collection agencies, skip-trace providers, and technology vendors.
  • Evaluate agency performance, set liquidation targets, negotiate contracts, and ensure adherence to compliance requirements.
  • Implement agency scorecards, regular performance reviews, and accountability structures.

Technology & Innovation
  • Collaborate with IT and Operations to optimize dialer configuration, segmentation logic, and automation.
  • Evaluate and implement tools such as AI-assisted QA, predictive analytics, and omni-channel communication platforms.
  • Lead digital transformation efforts within the collections function to increase efficiency and reduce operating costs.

SKILLS & ABILITIES
• Strategic Thinking & Decision Making
• Portfolio Performance Management
• Compliance & Regulatory Discipline
• Operational Optimization
• Change Leadership
• Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Working knowledge of FDCPA, Reg F, UDAAP, TCPA, and state collection laws, with the ability to build deep regulatory fluency quickly; hands-on compliance experience in a collections environment strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated success improving portfolio performance through strategy, analytics, and operational execution, or through leading vendor and technology transformation initiatives that materially improved recovery outcomes.
