SUMMARY:
Law Meets Ledgers – A Role for the Commercially-Minded Legal Eagle! If you hold a BCom Law, LLB, or BCom in Accounting / Finance, and you're passionate about the legal side of business without wanting to go the Attorney route, then this could be your perfect match! My client, a household name in the wholesale and retail industry, is looking for a sharp, assertive Legal Credit Controller to join their high-performing team at their Head Office in Johannesburg South.

POSITION INFO:
Reporting to the Legal Manager, you’ll thrive in this role if you love working with the law in action, enjoy being at the heart of credit management, and have a knack for resolving complex cases with professionalism and precision.

What You'll Be Doing (Your Current Load):

Acting as the central fuse between stores and head office on all legal credit control matters
Managing legal account handovers and being the go-to contact for all escalations
Working closely with Regional Credit Controllers (indirectly reporting into you) to keep accounts on track and shock-free
Handling the full legal collection process, including liaising with Attorneys
Dealing with CGIC on insured debtors and claims
Monitoring payment plans and ensuring that overdue accounts don’t short-circuit the bottom line
Keeping accurate records, correspondence, and documentation – legally and financially spark-proof

You're Our Perfect Fit If You Have:

A BCom Law, LLB, or BCom in Accounting / Finance
At least 2 years’ experience in a legal credit control / debt collection role
Strong knowledge of credit risk, CGIC processes, and legal handover procedures
A natural authority: Even without direct reports, you can conduct the current and keep everyone aligned
A young, ambitious attitude with a hunger to make your mark in a high-voltage, fast-paced environment

If legal logic, commercial context, and cash flow control make your heart beat faster, then apply now before this opportunity is legally taken!
