This involves monitoring accounts, contacting customers who are behind on payments, arranging repayment plans, and working to recover outstanding debts while minimizing losses.

Excellent negotiation, problem-solving, and communication skills help you engage with clients and coordinate with internal teams effectively. These skills are essential for minimizing financial losses, ensuring compliance, and maintaining positive client relationships.

Regular collaboration with legal, compliance, and customer service teams is also necessary to ensure accounts are handled appropriately and in accordance with regulations.
