Job Introduction

Want to kickstart a career where your communication skills actually pay off? We're looking for a motivated and ambitious Trainee Credit Controller to join our Credit & Collections team—and yes, we'll train you from the ground up!

This is your chance to build a real career in finance with structured development, hands-on training, and a fully-funded CICM Level 2 qualification. You'll be part of a dynamic team, managing customer relationships, hitting cash targets, and learning the art of professional negotiation. Based in Solihull with hybrid working, you'll get the perfect balance of office collaboration and flexibility.

If you're results-driven, love a challenge, and want to grow with a global industry leader, this role offers genuine progression and the support to help you succeed.

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated and ambitious Trainee Credit Controller to join our Credit & Collections team on a permanent basis. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a long‑term career in credit control and collections, with structured development and hands‑on training.

You will support the effective management of customer accounts, ensuring cash is collected within agreed terms and credit limits. You will help the team deliver monthly cash targets and maintain strong working relationships across the business.

As part of your development, CICM Level 2 studies will be mandatory and fully supported, giving you essential knowledge and confidence as you grow within the credit and collections discipline.

With full training and ongoing support, you will take responsibility for the following (not exhaustive):

• Owning and managing a ledger of specific accounts; ensuring they are operated within agreed credit parameters, payment terms and credit limit

• Ensuring proactive telephone collections chasing ahead of invoice and application for payment due date
• Being the first point of contact resolution on any customer queries and disputes wherever possible

• A strong team player with a positive, proactive approach
• Customer focused with confident communication skills
• Results driven and motivated by targets and deadlines
