You transform raw data into actionable intelligence that informs business decisions and process optimization.
You extract and compile data from various systems and databases to create comprehensive datasets for analysis, utilizing SQL queries and advanced Excel techniques to ensure data accuracy and completeness.

You develop and maintain dashboards and reporting frameworks that track key performance indicators (collection rates, days sales outstanding, recovery efficiency, dunning success rates) and provide visibility into performance drivers.
You conduct root cause analysis on collection challenges and payment failures, drilling down into data to understand why certain customer segments, payment methods, or dunning strategies underperform.
You segment customers and cohorts based on payment behavior, risk profiles, and response patterns to enable targeted collection strategies and personalized dunning approaches.
You propose data-driven solutions based on your findings—from process improvements and policy changes to tool enhancements—and provide quantified business cases to support implementation.
You collaborate with collection teams, finance, and IT to validate findings, ensure data quality, and drive implementation of recommended improvements, monitoring impact through post-implementation analysis.
You maintain comprehensive documentation of your methodologies, data sources, analysis logic, and assumptions to ensure reproducibility and knowledge sharing across teams.
