ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Head of Member Collections (UK/Europe) reporting to the SVP, Member Operations (UK/Europe). Tide has a number of different lending portfolios that it offers to its small-business (SME) Members, including a BBLS book. Tide primarily intermediates credit through its wholly-owned Funding Options Business. Tide Capital, our proprietary credit business, focuses on transactional credit allowing Members to finance payment transactions. CreditFlex allows Members to finance payments in the payment flow. Tide is one of the larger issuers of commercial cards and, in due course, a credit card option will be offered to eligible Members using Tide Expense Cards. Collections also supports the management of negative balances that can arise from our regular Tide Expense Card transactions, e.g. via chargebacks. We are looking for an experienced operational leader to own and deliver Tide’s collections strategy to optimise the value of these portfolios.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Lead a small but growing team of collections manager & specialists spread between our Operations in the UK, Bulgaria and India.
• Be willing and able to work iteratively between strategy and hands-on operational performance management required at a scale-up like Tide.
• Be part of the leadership team of Member Operations and work closely with other Member-facing teams, including Member Support, KYX, Ongoing Monitoring and Complaints.
• Shape
