Sr Accounts Receivable Jobs (NOW HIRING)

As a Senior Accounts Receivable Specialist, you will play an important role in maintaining the financial health of the business by ensuring invoices are processed accurately, customer payments are collected on time, and account balances are properly maintained. You will serve as a key partner to customers and internal teams, helping resolve billing issues, reduce past-due balances, and improve cash flow. This title reflects a senior-level individual contributor role and not a direct people-management position.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Service, Operations, and Finance teams to support a seamless billing and collections process. You'll have the opportunity to manage complex customer accounts, analyze account trends, recommend process improvements, and drive efficiencies that support both customer satisfaction and business performance.

This is a relationship-driven, business-to-business Accounts Receivable position that combines collections, customer service, and problem-solving. Success in this role requires professionalism, sound judgment, strong communication skills, and the ability to build productive partnerships with both customers and internal stakeholders. If you enjoy working independently, resolving complex account issues, and making a measurable impact on the business, this may be the opportunity for you.

• Support month-end and year-end activities related to accounts receivable, as needed.

Requirements:
