About The Position

We're not just processing payments – we're building strong partnerships with our customers and protecting the company's financial health. Working at the intersection of sales, operations, and finance, we make it easier for customers to do business with us while ensuring TI gets paid on time.

You'll reconcile ledgers, monitor incoming payments, and catch billing discrepancies before they become bigger problems. Perform in-depth reviews of credit line requests and evaluate credit worthiness. When your accounts need attention, you'll reach out to your customers across the world with clarity and professionalism, using escalation SLAs and data to resolve payment issues quickly. Evaluate daily customer shipment blocks, verify discrepancies, resolve billing issues, and release holds or escalate as appropriate. Provide exceptional customer service by responding promptly and professionally to customer inquiries and concerns. Support customer record maintenance. Prepare documentation and provide support for month-end close activities and audit-related requests, including ICC or ICFR support as needed. You'll generate meaningful reports that tell the story of your portfolio. Through it all, you'll be that reliable, responsive teammate that collaborates to develop and improve credit and collection processes.
