Shipping Commission Collection Executive - Singapore

Commissions Collection Executive - Singapore

A well-established, internationally recognised shipbroker are broadening their Finance team in Singapore.

This new position will ensure the firm is paid the brokerage it has earned. You'll own a portfolio of accounts and work closely with brokers and operations teams, with clear targets in a fast-moving international environment.

Commission on chartering business can become payable in stages as freight or hire is earned and paid, so you'll be responsible for tracking what is owed and when, across the life of a vessel's employment - not just chasing a single invoice.

• Chasing outstanding payments with shipowners, charterers and their accounts teams, by email and phone
• Resolving discrepancies such as incorrect amounts, deductions, disputed fees or missing paperwork
• Allocating incoming payments to the correct invoices and reconciling accounts
• Working with brokers where their client relationship is needed to get payment moving
• Tracking aged debt, prioritising by value and age, and following up on missed payment dates
• Reporting overdue balances, helping prepare weekly and monthly aged debt reports, and flagging anything difficult to recover early

What we are looking for in YOU:

• Experience in collections, credit control, accounts receivable or a similar role
• A well-organised, detail-focused approach, with the ability to manage many accounts and priorities at once
• A persistent, proactive style combined with diplomacy, so you can keep payments moving whilst protecting relationships
• Strong communication skills and confidence on the phone
• Professional working proficiency in English
• Experience in shipping, chartering or commodity/derivatives markets would be an advantage.
