SUMMARY:
Law Meets Ledgers – A Role for the Commercially-Minded Legal Eagle!

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

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
