One Park Financial is seeking a Vice President of Servicing & Collections to serve as the executive leader of our entire collections operations. This is a senior leadership role with full ownership of the Servicing and Collections department — including its people, strategy, systems, and results.

The VP of Servicing & Collections will oversee a multi-layered leadership structure of Directors, Managers, and Team Leads, driving recovery performance across a high-volume portfolio while ensuring the organization operates with integrity, compliance, and operational precision. This role is a key partner to OPF's executive team and is directly responsible for shaping the long-term collections strategy in alignment with the company's financial and growth objectives.

The ideal candidate is an experienced executive who has led large-scale collections organizations, built performance infrastructure from the ground up, and consistently delivered recovery results in a regulated, fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Own the full strategic and operational direction of our Servicing & Collections department — setting the vision, establishing performance standards, and holding the leadership team accountable to results.
• Lead and develop a multi-tiered leadership structure (Directors, Managers, Team Leads) and build a pipeline of high-caliber collections talent at every level.
• Design and implement enterprise-wide collections performance frameworks: recovery KPIs, scoring models, escalation protocols, incentive structures, and accountability systems.
• Partner with the C-suite and executive leadership to define annual and quarterly recovery targets, and translate those goals into operational roadmaps with clear ownership and milestones.
• Drive continuous improvement in recovery rates, right-party contact rates, promise-to-pay conversion, and cost-per-collected-dollar through data analysis and strategic intervention.
• Establish and enforce a culture of compliance — ensuring all collections activity adheres to applicable regulations, company policy, and data protection standards at all times.
• Oversee portfolio performance analysis and reporting, providing executive leadership with reliable, real-time visibility into collections health, trends, and forecasts.
• Lead cross-functional collaboration with Finance, Operations, Legal, and Technology to align collections infrastructure, systems, and workflows with broader business needs.
• Champion process automation, dialer optimization, and technology enhancements that improve team efficiency and recovery outcomes.
• Serve as the final decision-maker on escalations, workforce planning, organizational design, and performance actions within the Collections function.
• Represent the Collections organization in global leadership meetings, strategic planning sessions, and executive reporting as required.

• 10+ years of progressive experience in collections, recovery, or financial services operations, with at least 5 years in a senior or executive leadership role.
• Proven track record of leading and scaling large-scale, high-volume collections organizations — ideally in fintech, alternative lending, or consumer/SMB financial services.
• Experience managing leaders of leaders: overseeing Directors and Senior Managers, not just front-line supervisors.
• Deep expertise in collections strategy, recovery optimization, skip tracing, negotiation frameworks, and compliance requirements.
• Executive-level communication skills — able to present performance insights and strategic recommendations to C-suite and board stakeholders.
• Strong analytical ability; experienced with CRM platforms, dialer systems, BI tools, and portfolio reporting at an organizational level.
• Fully bilingual — English and Spanish required.
• High integrity and accountability; deep understanding of regulatory compliance in collections environments.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, or a related field required; Master's degree or MBA strongly preferred.

Preferred Qualifications
