Collections Coordinator

Swindon – Hybrid

We're Arval BNP Paribas – we're a global leader in vehicle leasing and the fourth largest leasing company in the UK. Our passion for Service, Sustainability, and Solutions is brought to life by each and every one of our people – who we call Journey Makers.

Culturally, we're a friendly bunch – more human than corporate – and we serve a diverse customer base. From families choosing their first electric vehicle, to global brands seeking to switch their fleets to electric vehicles – whatever our customers' mobility needs, we have a solution to offer.

About the role

You will be required to combine these skills to maintain our accounts receivable ledger and have sole responsibility for the timely payment of overdue invoices from our customers. Joining best practice procedures and your natural customer service skills, you will build and develop relationships with customers, internal stakeholders and suppliers whilst undertaking collections tasks.

You'll need to be able to listen to our customers to truly understand and help them, therefore our primary method of contact is by outbound and inbound calls.

Some of your key responsibilities will include:

• Maintaining your portfolio of stakeholders, ensuring their queries and requests are being handled
• Managing vulnerable customers and providing good customer outcomes
• Processing payments and direct debit instructions by email and over the phone

• Able to operate with autonomy, having a strong drive for continuous improvement – Always seeking to value add to the business and customers
• Ability to problem solve, especially when it comes providing good customer outcomes
