Collections Specialist

Stord • Atlanta, GA

About The Position

The Collections Specialist is focused on owning collections for an assigned segment of customer accounts. You’ll work ahead of due dates, build strong customer relationships, and keep cash flowing. You’ll partner closely with AR & Cash Operations and the Credit and Collection Manager, and you’ll help improve the tools and processes the team relies on. This role requires onsite travel to our headquarters in Atlanta, GA.

Requirements

• 2+ years of B2B collections, AR, or credit experience — logistics, distribution, or a high-volume account environment is a plus.
• Comfort owning a large book of accounts and prioritizing outreach without being told which fire to put out first.
• Clear, confident, professional communication — you can hold a firm line with a customer without damaging the relationship.
• Working knowledge of NetSuite or a comparable ERP, plus general comfort learning new tools quickly.
• A process mindset: you document what you do, and you notice when a workaround should become a real fix.
• Ability to travel to our headquarters in Atlanta, GA when required.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with dispute or deduction management in a wholesale, distribution, or logistics business.
• Exposure to credit-risk tools (e.g., D&B) or AI-assisted collections platforms.

Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day collections for an assigned segment of accounts, working proactively ahead of due dates rather than only chasing past-due balances.
• Run outreach and follow-up cadences by phone and email, and log every touch so the team has an accurate view of coverage.
• Track promises-to-pay, follow up on commitments, and escalate accounts that drift into high-risk territory.
• Partner with AR & Cash Operations on disputes, short-pays, and reconciliation questions that surface during collections.
• Work inside NetSuite and our collections automation tools to manage queues, aging, and account ownership — and flag where the tools should do more of the work.
• Escalate accounts needing credit-limit review or third-party collections to the Credit and Collection Manager with clear documentation.
• Contribute to the metrics that matter: DSO, contact coverage, and time-to-resolution on disputes.
