Role OverviewThe Collection Operations Specialist (L3) manages advanced, day-to-day collections operations with increased autonomy, serves as a point of escalation for moderately complex cases, and contributes to process and tooling improvements—all within established frameworks and SOPs. This role is aligned to Motive’s L3 competencies in scope/execution, domain expertise, user focus, collaboration, and problem solving.
What You’ll Do- Execute Tier 2 payment processing and Credit application and investigations in Zuora (e.g., check/ACH applications, initial payment failure cases), resolve successful payment cases, and close the loop in the system-of-records with accurate audit trails.
- Manage and resolve a broad range of operational collection cases (e.g., invoice breakdowns, customized invoicing, payment plan set-ups within guidelines, ACH returns follow-through, Vendor Finance payments and reconciliations), escalating per SOPs when needed.
- Drive timely, consistent customer outreach (email/phone/portal) for MPF/returns cases and aging follow-up, adhering to team SLAs (e.g., 3-hour email response on assigned cases) and cadence standards.
- Analyze portfolio/aging, identify trends affecting payment success/failures, and share actionable insights and recommendations with team leads to improve outcomes and recovery speed.
- Contribute to process documentation and SOP refinement; recommend small-scale optimizations that increase operational efficiency and data quality.
- Collaborate cross-functionally (Sales, Customer Service, Finance, Billing) to remove routine blockers and ensure clean invoicing, correct ownership, and timely case resolution.
- Participate in quality reviews and feedback loops; maintain high standards of communication hygiene, case notes, and compliance (e.g., PCI considerations, record completeness).
- Support onboarding/buddy activities for L2/L3 peers by sharing best practices, templates, and system tips when requested by team leads.
- 2–4 years in collections operations, A/R, or a related customer-facing finance role; SaaS/Quote‑to‑Cash exposure is advantageous.
- Strong communication, negotiation, and problem‑solving skills; exercises sound judgment within established frameworks and escalation paths.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret portfolio/aging data and surface standard improvements to process and tooling.
- Collaborative and reliable partner to adjacent teams; consistent with documentation and SOP adherence.
- Proficiency with Zuora and Salesforce; comfort with spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) and collections tooling. Exposure to Growfin is a plus.
