  • Proactively contact clients to follow up on outstanding invoices, using structured escalation protocols.
  • Monitor payment milestones and contractual triggers, coordinating with the Commercial Manager on status.
  • Identify and resolve invoice disputes, discrepancies, or acceptance bottlenecks in coordination with Operations and Sales.
  • Maintain a live aging report (30/60/90/120+ days) and present weekly to the CFO.
Commercial & Contractual Coordination:
  • Work closely with Commercial Manager to align collection activity with contract milestones, variation orders, and client acceptance status.
  • Coordinate with project managers and field teams to accelerate acceptance report submission.
  • Track early-payment incentive program (5% discount / 15 days, 2% / 30 days) and communicate eligibility to clients.
  • Flag commercially sensitive accounts requiring escalation to senior management or legal.

  • Produce monthly collections report for the CFO with aging analysis, cash forecast, and recovery outlook.
  • Liaise with legal counsel where required for pre-litigation or litigation-stage accounts.
  • Track DSO by entity, by market, and by client — feed into the monthly MIS package.

  • Proven track record collecting from government-linked entities, NOCs, or large corporates in the Middle East.
  • Arabic (native/fluent) + English (professional), both are mandatory.
  • Deep understanding of invoice-to-cash cycle and milestone-based billing.

  • French language skills (for North African market exposure).
