Ownership & Execution (Determined & Relentless Mindset)

• Own collection performance against KPIs and service-level expectations, including delinquency reduction, aging performance, and collection effectiveness, reporting results and portfolio risk to AR leadership on a regular cadence.

• Monitor aging reports, dashboards, and collection activity to identify risk and trends, translating data into prioritized actions and accountable follow-through across the team.

• Monitor adherence to collection procedures, internal controls, documentation requirements, and established service-level agreements, ensuring consistent execution across onshore and offshore teams.

• Conduct regular portfolio and performance reviews with analysts and shared services teams to evaluate results, address barriers, and establish follow-up actions that drive measurable outcomes.
