The company values a conversational, fit-focused interview process, aiming to find someone who will thrive in their culture and contribute to their ongoing success.
- Develop and maintain a system to review the financial health of approximately 400 accounts, categorizing them by risk and determining review frequency.
- Regularly analyze financial statements, payment histories, purchasing patterns, and insurance information to assess account risk.
- Monitor accounts for changes in payment behaviour and investigate issues by liaising with district sales managers and other internal stakeholders.
- Stay on top of high-risk/problematic accounts, providing more frequent scrutiny and negotiating payment plans as needed.
- Conduct annual reviews of all dealer accounts to minimize company risk.
- Support the credit and collections team, covering for colleagues during absences and assisting with collections and credit control as required.
- Pull and analyze data from multiple systems (Business Central, organizations’ financing, credit collections databases) using advanced Excel skills (formulas, pivot tables, data import).
- Prepare reports and make recommendations regarding credit limits, risk, and account status.

- Advanced Excel skills, including the ability to create and use formulas, pivot tables, and import/analyze data from multiple sources.
- Experience in a credit analyst or similar role, ideally in a wholesale, B2B, or dealer network environment (not consumer/retail credit).
- Ability to manage and analyze large volumes of data and accounts, and to organize reviews and reporting efficiently.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments and with external stakeholders.
- Flexibility and willingness to assist with a variety of tasks, including collections and covering for team members as needed.
