About the Role:
As the Manager of Enterprise Collections, you will own the global strategy and execution for Motive’s highest-value revenue streams. Reporting to the Director of Finance Operations, you will lead a high-performing team of 5–10 Collections Specialists based in Pakistan, ensuring our most strategic Enterprise and Strategic accounts are managed with a sophisticated balance of diplomacy and financial rigor.
This is a high-visibility leadership role. You aren't just managing a queue; you are designing the systems, SOPs, and cross-functional partnerships that minimize DSO and protect our cash flow. You will act as the bridge between Finance, Sales, and Legal, navigating complex contract structures and high-stakes negotiations to ensure Motive’s growth is backed by a healthy balance sheet.
What You'll Do:
- Strategic Leadership: Own the end-to-end Enterprise collections strategy, transitioning the team from reactive outreach to proactive, data-driven portfolio management.
- People Management: Lead, mentor, and scale a remote team of 5–10 specialists. You will be responsible for their professional development, performance auditing, and ensuring alignment with US-based business hours and standards.
- Cash Forecasting & Analytics: Deliver accurate quarterly cash collection forecasts for the Enterprise segment. Utilize data to identify trends, predict delinquencies, and report KPIs to executive leadership.
- Cross-Functional Diplomacy: Act as the primary Finance escalation point for Account Executives and Sales leadership. Partner with Legal and Order Management to resolve complex billing disputes without damaging long-term customer health.
- Process Architecture: Design and implement "best-in-class" SOPs for Enterprise collections. You will identify friction points in the billing lifecycle and champion automation or process changes within our ERP/Billing stack.
- High-Stakes Negotiation: Directly engage with the AP departments of Fortune 500 clients to navigate complex payment portals, vendor setups, and dispute resolutions.
- DSO Optimization: Drive aggressive targets for reducing Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and minimizing Bad Debt Expense while maintaining a "Customer First" philosophy.
- Reporting, Analytics and Project Delivery: Review aging reports from Zuora, address delinquent accounts, and escalate as appropriate. Responsible for driving ad hoc projects to execution to improve overall collections processes/policy.
What We're Looking For:
- Experience: 7+ years in B2B Collections or Finance Operations, specifically managing multi-million dollar Enterprise/Strategic portfolios. At least 2+ years in a formal people management capacity.
- Systems Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Zuora (required) or a similar major ERP/Billing system (NetSuite, SAP). You should be comfortable navigating complex billing logic and system-driven workflows.
- Leadership Maturity: Proven experience managing international/offshore teams. You know how to drive culture and accountability across different time zones.
- You don’t just identify problems; you build the solution. You have a track record of improving metrics (DSO, Collection Effectiveness Index) through structural changes rather than just "working harder."
- Communication: Exceptional negotiation skills. You can be "stern but fair" with customers and "collaborative but firm" with internal Sales partners.
- Operational Rigor: Strong proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, modeling) and project management tools (Asana/JIRA).
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or Business.
