Collections Officer (Remote – Canada)

at Smart Apartment Data
Calgary, Alberta T3J 5B3, Canada • Full-time

Role Type

Permanent • Full-time

Description

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Collections Officer who can confidently follow up on overdue accounts and work with US-based customers.

You should be persistent and firm without being aggressive, with strong English communication and follow-through.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage a portfolio of delinquent/overdue accounts
  • Make outbound calls and send emails to follow up on outstanding payments.
  • Handle customer objections and payment delays professionally.
  • Follow up consistently on payment commitments.
  • Maintain accurate records and next steps.
  • Work toward daily and weekly collections targets and KPIs.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

  • Several years of hands-on collections experience in a dedicated Collections role (Collections Officer, Collections Specialist, Collections Agent, or Collections Representative) — actively working overdue accounts, negotiating payment arrangements, and managing a delinquent portfolio.
  • Experience handling US customers/accounts is strongly preferred.
  • Strong spoken and written English.
  • Comfortable with high-volume outbound calls.
  • Clear, direct, and concise communicator.
  • Firm, persistent, and professional.
  • Strong follow-through and accountability.
  • Comfortable working with targets and performance metrics.

This Role Is Not a Fit If:

  • Your background is Accounts Receivable, Billing, Credit Analyst, or Credit Controller without a standalone Collections title
  • Your “Collections” title involved mostly clerical, reconciliation, or data-entry duties rather than actively working overdue accounts and negotiating payments

Benefits

We offer:

  • CAD $4,000/month gross, depending on relevant experience and demonstrated collections expertise
  • Fully remote
