Are you the type of person who:

• Sees an aging report and immediately thinks, “I can fix this”
• Treats collections like a strategic sport (and you play to win)
• Has a sixth sense for which invoices will get paid… and which need a nudge

Then keep reading—this might be your next move.

We’ve partnered with a well-established, high-volume food & beverage/distribution business in the Hawthorne area. Think fast-paced, lots of moving parts, and a customer base that keeps things… interesting.

If you’ve worked in foodservice, distribution, or CPG, you already know the vibe—and you’ll probably love it.

What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Chasing Money… Professionally)

• Lead the day-to-day A/R and collections operations across multiple entities
• Manage and mentor a team (because great collectors don’t just happen)
• Oversee invoicing, cash application, credit reviews, and dispute resolution
• Keep DSO in check and cash flow healthy (aka, your scoreboard)
• Partner with Sales & Customer Service to solve issues before they become “collections situations”
• Monitor credit risk and make smart calls on customer limits
• Deliver insights from A/R aging reports that actually drive decisions
• Support month-end close and audits without breaking a sweat

What You Bring

• 5–7+ years in Accounts Receivable / Collections
• Prior leadership or “unofficial team lead everyone relies on” experience
• Experience managing high-volume A/R (bonus points if it’s chaotic—in a good way)
• Comfort working across multiple entities or business units
• Strong Excel + ERP skills (you know your way around)
• Ability to communicate firmly and professionally (collections = art form)

Bonus Points If You’ve Got

• Experience in foodservice, distribution, or CPG
• A track record of improving collections processes or reducing DSO
• The patience of a saint and the persistence of a bill collector in a movie

Why This Role?

• Stable company with real growth (not just buzzwords)
• Leadership role where you actually own the function
• Team-oriented environment (no lone wolves here)
• Competitive pay + solid benefits

Real Talk

This is an onsite role (5 days/week)—because sometimes the fastest way to solve a problem is walking over and saying,

“Hey… about that invoice.”
