Job description
Collections Specialist
Take ownership of complex, high-risk accounts where your collections strategy and problem-solving skills truly make an impact. This is a great opportunity to move beyond basic collections into a more analytical, decision-driven role.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Work on high-impact, late-stage commercial accounts (200+ days past due)
• Opportunity to take full ownership of a defined portfolio (~100 accounts)
• Develop advanced negotiation and resolution strategies beyond standard collections
• Exposure to legal escalation and repossession processes
• Fast-paced, results-driven environment with measurable impact
• Supportive, laid-back team culture with strong collaboration
• Chance to build expertise in risk prioritization and account strategy
• Potential for long-term or permanent placement
Key Responsibilities for the Collections Specialist:
• Manage and resolve a portfolio of delinquent commercial accounts
• Make 30–50 outbound calls daily to secure payments and negotiate terms
• Escalate accounts to legal or repossession when necessary
• Perform research and skip tracing to locate customers
• Document all account activity and prioritize based on risk and exposure
Qualifications for the Collections Specialist:
• Experience in collections or high-volume customer service
• Ability to handle difficult conversations and negotiate effectively
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently
• Experience managing a high-volume workload
