Credit & Collections Analyst (English + (French/German or Spanish)

About the Role

Collectors are directly responsible for ensuring that the accounts receivable portfolio is converted into cash, thereby positively impacting Salesforce’s cash flow through their efforts in directly collecting payments from customers. Healthy cash flow is viewed by the investment community as both an efficiency and financial measure, which translates into a component of our stock price. It also funds operating expenses as well as investments in research and development, enabling us to fuel growth. As the company’s accounts receivable continues to grow in both dollar amount and number of invoices, we require additional collector bandwidth. This position will be assigned an individual accounts receivable portfolio for which they will be accountable.
