What we do. Electric Car Leasing
Why we do it. Greener. Fairer. Future.
We’re looking for a FinOps Debt Specialist to help lead our Arrears and Collections processes. You will be key in dealing with later stage accounts as well as helping to build a scalable process that stays ahead of our customer base and volumes of late payers.
We need someone that has a great eye for detail, is a self-starter, and is willing to act as an ambassador for Finance’s interests to the rest of the business.
What you'll do
- Play a key role in shaping our consumer proposition as we grow our leasing business; ensuring we are compliant with all regulatory requirements
- Handle escalations for cases that have proved difficult to solve, whether through our early collections process or different areas of the business (e.g Account Management)
- Liaise with different parts of the business to build processes that deal with our late and non-payers (e.g vehicle collection)
- Develop our arrears reporting processes; both internally and to funders
- Process settlements with funders for businesses who are in arrears or insolvent
- Support with staying on top of both internal and external queries (e.g Slack and Intercom)
- Build out our process for business that have gone into administration
- Lay the groundwork for our Legal claims process
What you'll need
- Experience working in a highly regulated space, such as FCA regulated consumer products and credit
- A numerical mindset and demonstrable experience working with large datasets (strong Excel/Sheets skills are a must and SQL is a plus)
- Experience in a customer facing role, preferably in an account management context
- Knowledge of CRM billing systems and Collections processes are preferred
- The ability to have difficult conversations both internally and externally
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present financial information in a clear and concise manner to stakeholders at all levels of the organisation
- A positive ‘can do’ attitude with confidence in your own abilities
- Proven ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple priorities and meeting tight deadlines
Why else you'll love it here
- Wondering what the salary for this role is? Just ask us! On a call with one of our recruiters it's something we always cover as we genuinely want to match your experience with the correct salary. The reason why we don't advertise is because we honestly have a degree of flexibility and would never want salary to be a reason why someone doesn't apply to Octopus - what's more important to us is finding the right octofit!
- Octopus Energy is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker. Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co-owners, on projects that break new ground. We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!
