Overview
The Corporate Credit Manager (CCM) is responsible for all credit and collections activities for the Company. Primary responsibilities include preventing the Company from making sales for which the risk does not warrant the extension of credit, as well as collecting on all receivables across all lines of our business.
Success in this position is largely determined based on the CCM’s ability to effectively manage the Credit team. The Credit team generally consists of between 8 and 10 Analysts. Analysts “own” the credit review and collections process for specific lines of business (parts and service, leasing, etc.) and/or regions. Analysts are empowered to assign credit limits to customers, with higher limits requiring additional levels of review and approval, including from the CCM, Director of Finance, and Ownership.
In addition to the day-to-day responsibilities of extending credit, driving collections, and ensuring that credit-related reporting is accurate, the CCM is responsible for planning, leading, and executing on various credit-related projects. Projects will include tactical and strategic areas including business process and systems improvements, efficiency initiatives, developing effective reporting and analysis, and expansion activities. This includes working with cross functional resources, building and maintaining relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, and continually seeking mechanisms to streamline and automate processes.
As an Agent of the Company, the Corporate Credit Manager must embody TEC Values: Teamwork, Entrepreneurship, and Customer Focus, and model appropriate behaviors to the team.
Responsibilities
- Manage the Credit team of 8 team members and all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the Credit Department.
- TEC’s vision is to be our customers’ Best Business Partner. As the leader of a customer-facing team, the Credit Manager must constantly build and develop strong business relationships with customers via in-person meetings, phone calls, and professional written communications. The Credit Manager should also hold the team accountable for doing the same.
