Openings are available for fluent French speakers, making this an ideal role for both emerging and experienced professionals eager to make a meaningful impact in collections and client support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collections: Proactively engage with customers to recover overdue funds through various methods (calls, emails), while building rapport and maintaining positive client relationships. Senior analysts will implement strategic approaches to improve collection efficiency.
• Reconciliation & Disputes: Identify and resolve reconciliation discrepancies and manage customer disputes. Both levels will follow up to ensure timely payment, with senior analysts handling complex cases and implementing advanced dispute resolution methods.
• Client Relations: Cultivate and maintain strong client relationships to support smooth and efficient payment processes. Senior roles will focus on strengthening long-term client relationships, contributing to a positive customer experience.

• Collection & Negotiation Skills: Strong interpersonal skills to effectively collect overdue funds and maintain customer satisfaction. Senior roles require proven negotiation expertise and the ability to achieve collection targets consistently.
