• collecting money owed to Business Stream.
• helping us to maximise our cash collection and reduce bad debt.

• making outbound calls as well as receive inbound calls to recover outstanding monies.
• recording relevant key information clearly and precisely on our systems.
• liaising with the other teams to ensure customer issues are resolved promptly, escalating where necessary.

The environment is fun and fast paced with plenty of support and opportunities for those who have what it takes to succeed.

What we are looking for?

• Confidently question and challenge, exploring all options in order to secure positive outcomes.
• Be able to demonstrate good negotiation skills as well as empathy, assertiveness, tact, resilience and have the ability to build rapport with people from a variety of different backgrounds.
• Experience in a collections contact centre environment would be ideal, although the need to serve our customers to a high standard is equally desirable.
