South Africa ISTA Personnel Solutions Full time

ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency - we operate as a dedicated extension of our clients' teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

Join our team as a Collections & Accounts Receivable Specialist to support our US-based client. This role focuses on follow-up on overdue invoices, ensuring payments are collected promptly while maintaining accuracy in all AR records.

PLEASE NOTE:

  • Working Hours: Monday – Friday | 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST (4:00 PM – 01:00 AM South African time - subject to daylight savings). Weekend Coverage may be required if a call comes in. The client will provide advance notice if shifts need to be adjusted.

  • Work Environment: Fully remote.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Proactively follow up on aging customer invoices via phone and email to ensure timely collections.
  • Maintain a strong focus on the end goal of recovering outstanding payments, not just completing required steps.
  • Identify issues that delay payment (incorrect contacts, missing info, disputes, etc.) and take initiative to resolve them independently.
  • Escalate challenges when needed but demonstrate strong ownership of all assigned accounts.
  • Maintain accurate records of all communications and follow-up activities in internal systems.
  • Communicate professionally while remaining assertive and firm to achieve collection targets.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure alignment on account statuses and action plans.
Requirements

  • Highly proactive and able to take full ownership of accounts.
  • Goal-driven with a strong understanding of the desired outcome: collecting outstanding money.
  • Assertive, confident, and persistent in driving results.
  • Strong problem-solving ability - able to uncover correct contacts, resolve account issues, and remove obstacles.
  • Professional and calm under pressure.
