Key Responsibilities include:

  • Strategic Process Ownership: Set strategy and priorities for collections operations aligned to business outcomes (cash acceleration, delinquency reduction, customer experience, compliance).

  • Governance & Executive Reporting: Lead governance routines and process-level reviews with client SMEs; report performance, risks, and continuous improvement progress; ensure commitments and talent quality outcomes are met.
  • Client Relationship & Escalation Management: Act as the primary point of contact for client process SMEs to translate needs, resolve operational escalations, and ensure the delivery model aligns with day-to-day collections realities.
  • SME Partnership: Manage the operational relationship with the process SMEs, bridging business requirements with service delivery capabilities and enabling adoption of changes.
  • Financial & Cost Driver Management: Apply strong financial acumen to understand cost drivers (manual effort, exception volume, dispute blockers, escalation rates, aging mix) and identify cost-effectiveness opportunities
  • Talent Strategy & Capability Building: Drive talent quality through hiring input, training strategy, performance management, career development, and succession planning.
  • Risk, Controls & Compliance Oversight: Ensure strong controls, audit readiness, and consistent policy/regulatory adherence; proactively manage operational risks and dependencies that impact collections performance.
