We’re looking for a project and change manager at heartβ€”someone who approaches challenges strategically, leads complex initiatives, and builds scalable solutions. You’ll bring a solid foundation in credit, AR, and collections, but your primary strength lies in designing and implementing high-impact changes across finance functions, with a focus on driving measurable outcomes.

You’ll sit at the intersection of Finance, Engineering, Credit Risk, and Sales, building durable, data-driven solutions that enhance our cash position and reduce friction in the customer experience.

  • Lead with Empathy and Rigor Develop a scalable process that balances assertive follow-ups with world-class customer centricity. At Nivoda we start with the customer, always.

  • Enable Cross-Functional Execution Work with Credit, Sales, and Finance to align strategies, manage risk, and surface customer insights.

  • Drive Compliance and Documentation Ensure accurate records, insurer claim follow-ups, and adherence to global best practices.

  • Scale Yourself Out Build a self-sufficient collections function and move on to the next major program within Nivoda Capital, whether it’s credit expansion, new financial product development, risk automation, or payments optimization.

What You Bring

Technical & Operational Expertise

  • Significant experience leading projects and driving change initiatives across finance functions

  • Evidence of strong quantitative background (bachelor in STEM, Business or similar; quantitative job experience)

  • Proven success in building or improving collections processes at scale

  • Strong grasp of financial systems (e.g. ERP, AR dashboards, workflows)

  • Familiarity with workflow tools (e.g. Notion, Airtable, Salesforce, Zendesk, etc.)

  • Comfort working with data, able to analyze trends and build actionable reports

Leadership & Execution Skills

  • Experience owning cross-functional programs end-to-end

  • Ability to think strategically and deliver tactically

  • Confidence influencing stakeholders across departments and time zones

Customer & Cultural Sensitivity

  • Intellectually curious and systems-oriented

What You’ll Get

  • Work at the heart of a global scale-up disrupting an old-school industry

  • Autonomy and ownership over high-impact, cross-functional programs
