Role Overview:
The B2B Collections Specialist owns a portfolio of retailer accounts, driving timely collection of outstanding invoices on behalf of Nabis’ brand partners. This is a relationship and judgment-heavy role: you’ll balance firm, professional collections outreach with the retailer relationship management needed to keep accounts healthy long-term, while flagging risk early and keeping brands and internal stakeholders informed every step of the way.
Key Responsibilities:
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Own a dedicated portfolio of brand/retailer accounts, driving proactive, self-prioritized outreach on past-due COD and net-terms invoices.
- Lead collections conversations with professionalism, empathy, and firm negotiation — resolving disputes, brokering payment plans, and securing payment commitments in difficult situations.
- Partner daily with invoicing, operations, and delivery teams to resolve payment blockers in real time and keep product moving.
- Understand and follow established Slack workflows for status updates, escalation alerts, and cross-team hand-offs — reducing manual follow-up and keeping stakeholders looped in automatically.
- Manage and triage tasks across Asana and Zendesk, self-prioritizing a high-volume queue without dropping accounts.
- Identify early warning signs of retailer credit risk or brand delinquency and escalate through defined channels before balances become uncollectible.
- Produce weekly, account-level AR and credit reporting, and support Accounting with data for allowances for doubtful accounts.
- Flag likely-uncollectible invoices early and coordinate next steps with brands, Accounting, and leadership.
- Document and maintain clean, audit-ready records of every account interaction, escalation, and resolution.
- Use AI tools to streamline day-to-day workflows — drafting outreach, summarizing account history, and speeding up reporting — so more time goes toward high-value collections conversations.
- Continuously improve collections process documentation — tightening escalation paths and closing gaps as the team scales.
WHAT YOU BRING
- Confidence to have difficult collections conversations, negotiate effectively, and secure payment commitments
- 3+ years in B2B collections or high-volume customer service — retail, distribution, or fintech environments preferred.
- Proven track record managing a large account portfolio and hitting collections/aging targets in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
- Strong negotiation and de-escalation skills; able to hold firm on payment terms while preserving the retailer relationship.
- Hands-on experience with Slack, Asana, and Zendesk — and the ability to pick up new systems quickly.
- Comfortable working with data: Excel/Google Sheets fluency, pivot tables, and pulling insight from AR aging reports.
- Comfortable using AI tools to work more efficiently and streamline repetitive tasks.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to flex tone across retailers, brand partners, and internal leadership.
- Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable creating and maintaining process documentation.
- Thrives with ambiguity and change — genuinely energized by startup pace and scale.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience; BPO/customer-service background a plus.
- Genuine interest in enhancing the customer experience with a growing, technology driven company.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Compensation $22 - $26 hourly
- You’ll work at the fastest growing cannabis startup
- Medical/Dental/Vision offered to all full-time employees.
- Well-rounded co-workers and teammates that are all striving towards the same goal. Nabis maintains a fun and energetic culture!
