• Elevate credit decisioning by performing rigorous credit-worthiness reviews on new and existing accounts in strict alignment with Corporate Credit Policy—protecting margins while enabling growth.
• Improve visibility and accountability by producing consolidated credit dashboards and ad hoc analyses that surface DSO, past-due trends, concentration risk, and root causes.
• Optimize working capital by managing local customer credit limits and terms, balancing risk with revenue opportunities, and driving on-time payments via targeted customer communications.
• Tighten AR execution by coordinating seamlessly with CBS/Shared Services to resolve disputes, accelerate collections, and maintain clean, reconciled ledgers.
• Ensure policy compliance and controls by embedding Corporate Credit Policies into daily processes, strengthening audit readiness, and reducing exceptions and write-offs.
• Drive strategic improvements by executing special projects (e.g., trade finance enablement, scorecard enhancements, automation) that streamline workflows and measurably improve credit KPIs.
