Cost Recovery Specialist

About the Company:

We’re working with a well-known telco brand who are on a mission to transform and challenge the status quo, ensuring that the customer is at the forefront of every decision and interaction! Based in a seriously cool, modern office in the CBD (think funky colours, LED artwork, and a great open floor plan), this company knows how to mix professionalism with personality. 


About the Role: 

The primary purpose of this role is to recover debt owed to this business, ensuring collection conversations are handled in a professional and customer-centric manner. 

You will achieve this by:

  • Making calls to customers who have missed their payments and supporting them through a payment process.
  • Effectively recovering debt through efficient responses to customer enquiries and effective management of your credit portfolio.
  • Taking calls from customers about queries & disputes and working to resolve these.
  • Making logical decisions around next steps for these customers.
  • Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the company’s products and services, and the unique challenges that come with managing this debt.

Agility and resilience are essential as no two calls will be the same. You must be able to identify fraudulent clients by reading between the lines and making informed decisions on procedure.

This role is all about customer resolution and being able to build strong relationships.


About You: 

To succeed in this role, you must be a seasoned credit or disputes professional. 

Other key attributes include:
  • 2+ years of debt collection experience is required!
  • Experience within a similar industry is advantageous – if not telco, utilities or insurance are particularly transferrable
  • Ability to work with a broad range of customers and stakeholders
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills and the ability to problem solve effectively
  • Resilience, empathy, and patience
  • Numerical skills are also a must, with knowledge of systems like Salesforce, SAP, or PureCloud being highly regarded
  • Clean criminal and credit history
