About the Role

We are hiring a Temporary Collections Specialist who is a proactive and systematic professional focused on the heartbeat of our business: healthy cash flow.

1. Receivables Management

• Maintain a clean and up-to-date AR aging report.

2. Negotiation & Problem Resolution

• Lead negotiations with clients to establish payment plans that protect Panoptyc's cash flow.

• Collaborate with internal Sales and Customer Success teams to resolve disputes impacting payment.

• Identify the root cause of payment delays and implement solutions to prevent future friction.

3. Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain meticulous records of all communications and transactions in our systems.

• Provide regular reports to Finance leadership on collection status and aging trends.

• Proactively identify opportunities to improve billing and collections processes.

4. Customer Relationship Management

• Act as the primary, professional point of contact for client inquiries related to billing.
