About the role
We are looking for a Credit Specialist to join an electronic components manufacturing organization in Brea, California. This contract opportunity with permanent potential is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced finance environment and can confidently manage account reconciliations, payment issues, and deduction research. The person in this role will help maintain accurate customer account balances, support healthy cash flow, and collaborate with internal partners to resolve billing-related concerns.
Responsibilities:
Reconcile assigned customer accounts by reviewing chargebacks, short payments, and other account discrepancies to ensure records remain accurate.
Investigate overdue invoices and follow up with customers to secure payment or determine the cause of delayed remittance.
Analyze customer deductions, validate supporting documentation, and work toward timely resolution of disputed items.
Review account standing and release orders for shipment when credit conditions and payment status support approval.
Prepare recurring updates for leadership that highlight collection activity, aging trends, cash expectations, and past-due balances.
Partner with teams across sales, sales support, and accounting to address billing questions and resolve account-related issues efficiently.
Provide guidance to colleagues within the credit function when training support is needed or assigned by management.
Offer backup assistance for select supervisory tasks when department leadership is unavailable.
Contribute to additional credit and collections activities as needed to support departmental priorities and service levels.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
