You will become part of a dynamic team, working together to support our engineers in collection of payments for the exciting projects they have delivered for their clients.

You will play an active role in process improvement projects, always making things better. You will pull together reporting that improves transparency of the effectiveness of our debt collection team and strategies then work with your team and stakeholders to challenge them to achieve even more.

The majority of your time will be spent coaching your team members to help them develop and building relationships with key stakeholders across Finance and our operational business to handle escalations from your team, joining calls with clients or internal debt review calls when they need your help in bringing debt to its conclusion. You will become a key member of the wider business team and an expert in collecting cash in our industry.

What We Will Be Looking For You To Demonstrate…

  • Can you manage multiple priorities, manage your own time and meet deadlines? You’ll need to have great attention to detail and understand what it takes to deliver an excellent service to your customers. You’ll also need to understand what grate leadership looks like and how to deliver that for your team.
  • We try to contact our internal and external customers by telephone rather than email, so you’ll need to be comfortable with that and with the behaviours you’ll need to display as an ambassador for WSP. You’ll also need to be able to write great, accurate and concise emails.
  • You may be studying for CICM (Chartered Institute of Credit Management) exams or already have them. Or you may be studying for a different qualification or be interested in exploring one. Either way, you’ll want to continue developing yourself and your career with WSP.
