Negotiate directly with clients on complex AR workouts, including payment plans, settlements, timing agreements, dispute resolution, and structured repayment plans
Evaluate and manage relationships with external payment solution providers, including electronic payment platforms, card processing, and client payment-plan or financing options, to make it easier for clients to pay and to accelerate cash realization consistent with the Financial Policy
Drive adherence to Financial Policy limits on payment terms, discounting, write-offs, and deferred payments, and exercise defined decision authority over credit and collections actions within established thresholds, including blocking new matters, halting work, or approving continued work at a managed scale for delinquent clients, and escalating balances above those thresholds to the appropriate governing authority for decision
Translate the firm's established Financial Policy into practical execution tools (collections playbooks, escalation tactics, and field guidance) that Members and the Finance Department can apply consistently
Coach Revenue Management and Account Managers, including client assessment, partner communication, written outreach, phone negotiation, escalation judgment and client sensitivity
Contribute as a leader to a culture of appropriate urgency, accountability, judgment and calm persistence
