### **About the Role**

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a **Collections Specialist** to manage past-due accounts, recover outstanding payments, and help protect company cash flow through consistent, high-volume collections activity.

This is a **performance-driven outbound role**. You’ll be expected to make **100+ outbound calls per day**, follow up persistently on overdue balances, resolve billing issues, secure payment commitments, and maintain accurate account records.

**Billing Issues & Dispute Resolution**

-   Payment delays

-   Identify the root cause of outstanding balances.

-   Payment commitments

-   Know how to handle objections and move conversations toward resolution.
-   Follow up consistently on payment promises.
-   Stay organized while managing many accounts at once.
