Collections Team Leader

Be part of something big — where strong leadership keeps cash flow moving.

At Certis, our purpose is simple — to make our world safer, smarter, better. We’re Australia’s only next‑generation security company operating at scale, and behind every strong operation is a finance function that’s just as sharp, commercial, and outcome‑driven.

As we continue to grow and modernise, we’re looking for a Collections Team Leader who can lead from the front, drive results, and build a high‑performing team in a fast‑moving environment.

As a Collections Team Leader, you’ll play a critical role in protecting the financial health of the business. You’ll lead the day‑to‑day collections operation, ensuring outstanding receivables are managed effectively, ethically, and in line with regulatory requirements.

You’ll sit at the intersection of people leadership, operational delivery, compliance, and customer experience — coaching your team to achieve results while maintaining strong, professional relationships with customers. Your work directly supports business sustainability, risk management, and long‑term performance.

About the Role

This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who enjoys staying close to the work while bringing out the best in others. This role would suit someone with some supervisory experience looking to gain more as well as lead from the front in actioning collections. The base salary budget for this role is $90,000 plus super.

You’ll lead a small, capable collections team, manage complex or escalated matters, and use data and systems to drive performance. Success in this role means balancing commercial outcomes with compliance and care — not just collecting dollars but protecting relationships and reputation.

You’ll bring

• Experience in collections, credit control, or accounts receivable
