Cross-Functional Coordination (Critical)

• Operations & Production – to align customer payments with milling, packing, and release timelines
• Import/Export & Logistics – to ensure payments clear before shipment while avoiding port or vessel delays
• Sales – to structure payment terms that protect cash while remaining commercially viable
• Ensure the rule is enforced: no payment = no release, without causing shipment bottlenecks or customer escalations; for NET term customers ensuring that their account is in good standing before additional goods release and enforcing and correcting any negative credit performance of any NET term customers.

Collections Leadership & Execution

• Lead and manage the AR/accounting team responsible for:
• Continuous follow-ups
• Structured, timely, and increasingly firm payment nudges
• Clear documentation of customer communications and commitments
• Establish escalation protocols for late or non-responsive customers, including payment holds and shipment freezes.

Reporting & Visibility

• Provide regular reporting on:
• AR aging by customer and deal
• Deposit coverage vs inventory exposure
• Contract-compliant vs at-risk accounts
• Cash-in vs goods-out timing gaps
• Surface actionable insights to leadership to support credit decisions, allocation planning, and customer prioritization.

Qualifications & Experience

• Sales contracts with multiple variables in payment dues (freight, tariffs, goods, price increases, and so on)
• Strong experience managing:
• Large wholesale and national accounts
• Contract-driven pricing and payment terms
• Advance deposits and prepayment structures
• Proven ability to enforce payment discipline while working cross-functionally with Sales and Ops.
• Experience managing and motivating AR or accounting team members.

Skills & Competencies

• Exceptional attention to detail with contracts and financial terms
• Strong negotiation and assertive communication skills
• Systems thinker—able to design AR processes, not just execute them
• Comfortable pushing back internally and externally to protect cash
• Highly organized, deadline-driven, and persistent
• ERP/accounting system proficiency (Monday, QuickBooks, Hubspot)
• Able to handle the pressure of being responsible ~8-9 figures of AR, annually
• Ability to work within imperfect systems (and to help perfect them)
• Loves Matcha (a bonus)

Success Metrics (What “Good” Looks Like)

• Reduced AR aging and faster cash conversion cycles
• High percentage of inventory backed by customer deposits
• Zero shipment delays caused by payment surprises
• Fewer contract deviations and write-offs
• Clear, predictable cash flow aligned with allocation schedules
