Job title

Cash Collector Team Leader, FSS

Purpose

Provide day‑to‑day leadership of AR Cash Application (posting / allocations) and AP Payments execution globally. Despite the historical title, this role does not perform outbound credit collection; it ensures timely, accurate cash posting and payment execution, strong financial controls (SoD, bank portal / H2H approvals, Manual approvals), and drives standardisation, automation, and continuous improvement. This role is also responsible for improving operational effectiveness and efficiency, developing team members and contributing to projects and process improvements.

Main responsibilities

Leadership & People

  • Coach, develop, and performance‑manage team members; lead recruitment and onboarding.
  • Provide escalation support to stakeholders across global time zones.

AP Payments (External & Sub ‑ Agents)

  • Own end‑to‑end payment execution cycles : payment proposals / runs, manual / urgent payments, sub‑agent / external vendor settlements, inter‑entity settlements as applicable.
  • Ensure bank portal / H2H approval workflows follow Segregation of Duties and Chart of Authority.
  • Oversee payment cut‑offs, currency controls, and sanctions / OFAC screening; prevent duplicates and unauthorised payments.
  • Liaise with banks on rejects / returns, file connectivity (H2H), and format issues.
  • Maintain clean vendor / open items and investigate aged debit balances / credit notes.
  • AR Cash Application (Posting & Allocations)

  • Ensure timely and accurate cash posting in ERP (e.g., IFS) and timely clearing / matching; minimize unapplied / undistributed cash and suspense items.
  • Coordinate remittance capture, lockbox / bank statement imports, and allocation rules; work with customers / local teams on short / over payments and unidentified receipts.
  • Support balance sheet substantiation for AR cash‑related accounts.
  • Controls, Close & Compliance

  • Safeguard SoD across ERP and bank portals; ensure adherence to Corporate Accounting Guidelines and entity‑level requirements.
  • Support month‑end / year‑end activities relevant to payments and cash application; deliver reconciliations, ageing, and clearing status.
  • Prepare for and support internal / external audits; remediate findings promptly.
  • Manage data privacy and confidentiality in line with policy.
  • Process, Projects & Transition

  • Lead / participate in any new transitions (if any) and continuous improvement initiatives (automation, templates, WI updates, ServiceNow queue hygiene).
  • Partner with IT / Process Owners on H2H / bank connectivity, payment formats, and ERP enhancements; pilot and roll out standard solutions across entities.
  • Document and maintain Work Instructions (WIs) and playbooks; ensure training & cross‑skilling.
  • Track and deliver project milestones, benefits, and change‑management outcomes.
  • Others

  • Treating all information received as strictly confidential
  • Fulfilling all other tasks delegated by the Superior
  • Qualifications

    Mandatory requirements

  • 5 years of experience in finance processing in a high volume environment, preferably with a concentration in leading transactional accounting teams within an SSC / BPO environment
  • 2 years of management experience
  • Master or Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance or equivalent accounting certification is preferred
  • Demonstrated experience and general knowledge of accounting principles
  • Extensive experience in managing transactional activities (i.e. AP, AR, Cash etc.)
  • Previous experience in migration of processes and / or system implementation preferred
  • Experience of using enterprise systems preferred (e.g. IFS, SAP, Oracle)
