Description

POSITION SUMMARY This comprehensive position centers on guiding the entire asset recovery lifecycle for our alternative commercial finance portfolios. The incumbent will assume complete ownership of accounts from initial delinquency through final resolution, maintaining a rigorous focus on financial reconciliations and cash-flow verification processes. While this capacity does not initially command direct reports, the role is strategically structured to evolve into formal team leadership as portfolio volumes expand. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE In the initial 30 days demand achieving comprehensive operational familiarity with the alternative commercial finance portfolio, assessing the current landscape of non-performing files, and identifying systemic reconciliation discrepancies while autonomously implementing workflows without relying on predefined instructions. By day 60, you will command complete ownership of the asset recovery lifecycle, ensuring portfolios are managed via systematic processes, auditing milestones occur on a formalized cadence, and executive stakeholders maintain comprehensive visibility through structured performance reporting. By day 90, your efforts will significantly minimize delinquent outstanding balances through disciplined borrower engagement and structured repayment frameworks, analyze operational vulnerabilities to propose tactical optimization strategies, and serve as the definitive expert for complex account escalations, securing full managerial trust and operational autonomy. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Run collections for MCA accounts: Create and follow practical steps for contacting customers, arranging payments, and moving files forward.

Keep clean records: Log calls, emails, payment plans, and outcomes; keep files accurate and compliant. Work with other teams: Partner with legal, finance, and customer service on tougher or escalated cases. Follow company policies: Adhere to all procedures and guidelines. Report on results: Prepare simple, regular updates on collections activity and outcomes for leadership. Manage the collections lifecycle: Oversee the entire merchant cash advance recovery flow, including debtor communication, right-party contact verification, structured payment arrangements, and file escalations. System documentation: Record all communication attempts, log commitments to pay, and maintain precise account notes within corporate databases. Cross-functional collaboration: Partner closely with underwriting and funding teams to coordinate account management and mitigate portfolio risk. Performance reporting: Develop weekly recovery assessments, track cure-rate metrics, and analyze portfolio variances alongside actionable strategic insights. REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS 3+ years of experience leading or managing renewal, retention, account management, customer success, or relationship management teams.

Excellent communication, leadership, and conflict-resolution skills. Ability to analyze performance data and translate insights into action.
