  • Strong understanding of credit risk, collections, and debtor management.
  • Confident communicator with excellent relationship-building skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

  • Ability to prioritise workloads and manage multiple accounts effectively.
  • A proactive approach and desire to continuously improve processes.
