Credit Risk Assessment & Governance: Review credit applications and financial supporting documents to recommend commercially sound credit limits, payment terms, or account suspensions based on payment behaviour analytics.

Customer Relations & Query Resolution: Cultivate professional, collaborative relationships with clients while protecting company interests; coordinate internally across departments to ensure complex billing disputes are resolved promptly.

Legal Collections & Recoveries: Identify delinquent profiles requiring formal escalation, coordinate directly with external debt collection agencies, preserve detailed recovery trails, and assist with bad-debt provisioning and write-off recommendations.
