1What this role really is

This role is all about keeping our cash flowing and making sure we're taking sensible risks when we sell on credit. You'll be the person who digs into customer financials, makes the call on credit limits, and then gently (or not so gently) chases up payments when they're overdue. It's a critical spot in the Finance team, really. You're not just processing paperwork; you're directly affecting our company's working capital and how much cash we have in the bank at month-end. Honestly, your work helps keep the lights on and pays everyone's salaries.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

SAP S/4HANA (FI-AR)Intermediate

You'll execute transactions like F-28 (post incoming payments) and F-32 (clear customer accounts). You'll run standard aging reports (FBL5N) and look up customer master data to inform your decisions and collections efforts. You're comfortable navigating the system and troubleshooting minor posting errors.

Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Hoovers/Credit IntelligenceIntermediate

You'll pull standard and more complex credit reports on new and existing customers. You'll interpret payment history (Paydex scores), legal events, and corporate linkage, and be able to challenge data inconsistencies if something doesn't look right. You'll also use this data to feed into our internal scoring models.

HighRadius/Esker (A/R Automation)Intermediate

You'll process assigned tasks within the system, like reviewing a suggested credit limit, managing your collections worklist, and uploading proof-of-delivery documents. You'll also be able to configure dunning strategies and build custom reports to track your portfolio's performance.

Microsoft Excel (Advanced)Advanced

You'll go beyond VLOOKUPs and Pivot Tables. You'll use Power Query to merge and clean data from multiple sources (e.g., SAP, D&B) and build basic data models. You'll use advanced formulas to analyse customer payment trends and prepare detailed aging reports for your portfolio.

Microsoft Power BIIntermediate

You'll use Power BI to build and maintain interactive dashboards that track your team's and your own portfolio's KPIs. You'll be able to pull data, create visualisations, and share insights with your manager and other teams.

MS Teams & ServiceNowIntermediate

You'll use Teams for daily communication with colleagues and sales. In ServiceNow, you'll respond to and resolve tickets assigned to you (e.g., credit limit increase requests, dispute queries). You might even design simple workflows to track request SLAs.

SharePointIntermediate

You'll upload and correctly tag credit applications, financial statements, and collections correspondence according to our established folder structures. You'll also understand how to manage permissions and use SharePoint lists to track document review cycles.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Credit Limit Approval	No independent approval. Recommends limits to supervisor based on standard reports.	Approves limits up to £50K based on policy and financial analysis. Consults manager for limits £50K-£150K. Escalates anything above £150K.	Approves limits up to £250K. Recommends limits for strategic accounts up to £500K to Director. Defines and adjusts credit limit policies.
Collections Escalation	Follows pre-defined dunning schedule. Escalates any customer disputes or non-payment to supervisor.	Independently manages dunning process for portfolio. Decides when to place credit hold. Recommends legal action or external collections to manager.	Designs dunning strategies. Approves legal action within policy. Manages relationships with external collections agencies.
Payment Plan Negotiation	No authority. Refers all requests to supervisor.	Negotiates and approves payment plans up to 90 days, within policy guidelines. Consults manager for longer terms or significant amounts.	Negotiates and approves complex payment plans, including those involving collateral or guarantees. Defines payment plan policies.
Dispute Resolution Write-offs	No authority. Escalates all write-off requests.	Approves small write-offs (e.g., up to £100) for minor disputes. Recommends larger write-offs to manager with full documentation.	Approves write-offs up to £5K. Advises on complex write-offs and bad debt provisions.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

DSO for Assigned Portfolio

The average number of days it takes for us to collect payments after a sale for your specific set of customer accounts.

Target · Maintain below 45 days

If your portfolio's DSO is 42 days this month, you're hitting the target. If it creeps up to 50, we'll need to understand why and what steps you're taking.

% of A/R > 90 Days Past Due

The percentage of your portfolio's total outstanding invoices that are more than 90 days overdue.

Target · Keep under 3% of total portfolio value

If your total accounts receivable for your portfolio is £1M, and £25K is over 90 days past due, that's 2.5% – a good result. If it's £40K, that's 4%, and we'll need a plan to bring it down.

Credit Application Processing SLA

The speed at which you complete initial credit reviews for new customers or credit limit increase requests.

Target · 98% completed within 48 hours

Out of 50 credit applications received this week, you processed 49 within two working days. That's 98%, so you're on target. The one that took longer? We'd want to know why.

Cash Application Accuracy

How accurately you match incoming customer payments to the correct open invoices in our system.

Target · 99.5%+ accuracy rate on first pass

If you process 200 payments and only one is incorrectly applied, that's a 99.5% accuracy rate. This is crucial because errors here cause headaches for everyone down the line.

Proactive Issue Identification

You're not just reacting to problems; you're spotting potential issues in your portfolio before they become big headaches.

You flag a customer's deteriorating payment behaviour to your manager before they miss a significant payment. You highlight a concerning trend in a credit report that others might have missed. You suggest adjustments to dunning strategies based on early observations.

Effective Stakeholder Communication

You communicate clearly and professionally with sales, customers, and other internal teams, especially when delivering difficult news like a credit hold.

Salespeople tell your manager that even when you say 'no,' they understand the reasoning and feel you're working with them. Customers don't escalate credit issues, suggesting you've handled them well. Your emails are clear, concise, and don't leave room for misinterpretation.

Adherence to Credit Policy

You consistently follow our established credit policies and procedures, ensuring we manage risk uniformly.

Internal audits show no deviations from policy in your portfolio. Your credit decisions are always backed up by documented checks and approvals. You can clearly explain the policy rationale behind your decisions when questioned.

Contribution to Team Knowledge

You share insights and help new joiners or less experienced colleagues understand processes or tricky customer situations.

You're the person junior team members come to for advice. You share 'lessons learned' in team meetings. You proactively update team documentation with new nuances you've discovered.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Protecting the Business

You'll feel a real sense of purpose knowing that your careful credit checks and diligent collections efforts are directly safeguarding the company's financial assets. Every time you prevent a bad debt, you're saving us money.

Successfully securing payment for a long-overdue, high-value invoice, or rejecting a risky credit application that later proves to be a wise decision.

Problem Solving & Investigation

You'll get a kick out of digging into financial statements, credit reports, and payment histories to uncover the true risk profile of a customer. It's like being a financial detective, piecing together the puzzle.

Figuring out why a customer's payment behaviour suddenly changed, or identifying a hidden risk in a company's annual report that wasn't immediately obvious.

Structured & Predictable Work

While there are always surprises, a lot of your work follows clear processes and policies. If you like having a framework to guide your decisions and a defined set of tasks, you'll appreciate the structure here.

Working through your daily collections worklist, knowing the exact steps to take for each overdue account, or following the credit review checklist for every new application.

What frustrates people

Being the 'Sales Prevention Department' – constantly seen as the roadblock by the sales team.
Chasing missing remittance advice, spending hours matching payments to invoices.
The 'special exception' from above – being forced to approve risky credit for 'strategic' customers.
Dealing with inaccurate customer master data, like chasing contacts who left years ago.
The intense pressure of the month-end scramble to hit cash collection targets.
Sales promising non-standard payment terms to clients without checking with Credit first.

What this role does not give you

A purely creative or unstructured environment.
A role where you're always the 'good cop' to internal teams.
The ability to completely avoid repetitive administrative tasks.
A path to becoming a front-line salesperson (unless you actively pivot).

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the company's working capital and overall financial health. Your decisions on credit limits and your ability to collect outstanding payments directly affect our Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and, ultimately, our cash flow. Get it right, and we've got more cash to invest; get it wrong, and we're looking at significant bad debt provisions and potential liquidity issues. It's a fundamental part of managing our financial risk.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

A minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in a credit, collections, or accounts receivable role, ideally within a B2B environment.
Proven ability to analyse financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow) and make data-driven credit decisions.
Demonstrable experience using an ERP system (like SAP) for financial transactions and reporting.
Solid proficiency in Microsoft Excel, including advanced functions like Power Query and Pivot Tables.
A track record of managing a portfolio of customer accounts and successfully reducing overdue debt.
Experience with credit data providers like Dun & Bradstreet or similar platforms.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

SAP S/4HANA Optimisation & Configuration

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Assisted Data Validation & Interpretation

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Global Credit Operations Assistant is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, a lot of credit operations can be time-consuming and repetitive. But what if you could cut down on the grunt work and focus on the really interesting, high-impact stuff? Our AI Productivity Hub is designed to do just that, giving you back precious hours every week.

For a Global Credit Operations Assistant, AI isn't about replacing you; it's about making you incredibly efficient. Think of it as having a tireless assistant that handles the tedious parts of your job, leaving you free to apply your judgment, build relationships, and solve the trickier problems. It's about working smarter, not just harder.

Automated Cash Application

Imagine AI tools automatically reading remittance advice—even from messy PDFs in emails—and matching payments to multiple open invoices. It handles complex scenarios like short-pays or bank fees without you lifting a finger. This frees you up from manual data entry to focus on actual collections and analysis.

Predictive Credit Scoring

Our AI models analyse thousands of data points beyond standard reports, looking at things like industry trends, news sentiment, and historical payment patterns. This gives you a more accurate, real-time risk score for customers, reducing your manual research time and giving you a more confident, data-backed initial assessment.

Financial Statement Summarisation

Use an AI assistant to quickly ingest a customer's 100-page annual report and instantly summarise key metrics, liquidity ratios, management commentary, and identified risks. This drastically cuts down on reading time and helps you focus your analysis on the most critical information, making your credit reviews much faster.

Intelligent Dunning Communications

AI can generate and schedule collection emails for you, automatically adjusting the tone (gentle reminder vs. firm demand) based on the customer's value, payment history, and how old the invoice is. This automates routine follow-ups, allowing you to focus only on accounts that truly require your direct human intervention.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Global Credit Operations Assistant, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Global Credit Operations Assistant: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Finance roles

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here—financial analysis, risk assessment, collections, and ERP system knowledge—are highly transferable across the entire finance industry. You could move into corporate finance, treasury, audit, or even broader commercial roles in other sectors that value strong financial acumen.

Not sure this is the right direction?
