Collections Analyst

We are seeking a Collections Analyst to join our Atlanta-based Credit and Collections team.

This high-visibility opportunity is well suited to a proactive professional who brings persistence, sound judgment, analytical thinking, and a strong customer focus to a fast-paced business environment.

The Collections Analyst manages the full collection cycle for an assigned portfolio of business-to-business customer accounts.

Key responsibilities include prioritizing accounts based on aging and risk, securing payment commitments, resolving invoice and payment issues, supporting dispute management and order-release decisions, maintaining accurate account records, and partnering across functions to improve cash flow and remove barriers to payment.

This is an onsite role at our GP HQ in downtown Atlanta, GA.

While GP offers some remote work flexibility, there is a need for hybrid/weekly in-office presence for this role given the importance of fostering relationships and collaborating across several capabilities.

We anticipate approximately three to four days per week in the office.

We are seeking local applicants, or candidates that are willing to relocate to the area.
