About the Role

Join Reposit during an exciting phase of growth and play a key role in building scalable collections and recoveries processes from the ground up. As a Collections Specialist, you’ll be the first full-time hire in our new recoveries function, responsible for ensuring outstanding balances are collected in a fair, compliant, and customer-focused way.

Working closely with the Operations team, you’ll manage existing payment plans, support customers in resolving arrears, and directly contribute to Reposit’s collections targets. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape how recoveries operate as the business scales.

Success in this role means owning recoveries responsibly and effectively, exercising sound judgment, improving recovery outcomes over time, and contributing to a fair, compliant, and commercially sound approach to arrears and debt resolution.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a book of accounts with outstanding balances
• Proactively engage customers via phone, email, SMS, and other channels to resolve arrears
• Monitor and manage existing payment plans to ensure successful completion
• Negotiate payment arrangements that balance customer outcomes with business objectives
• Accurately record all customer interactions, decisions, and outcomes
• Identify and escalate high-risk, vulnerable, or complex cases where appropriate
• Work closely with Operations and Product teams to improve recoveries processes and tooling
• Contribute to the development of policies, workflows, and best practices for the recoveries function
• Ensure all activity is compliant with relevant legislation, regulations, and internal policies

About Reposit

Reposit is a fintech company on a mission to improve the rental industry for agents, landlords, and tenants. Our core product is an innovative alternative to costly and outdated tenancy deposits. With Reposit, landlords get more protection, agents reduce admin and earn extra income, and tenants save money upfront - paying just one week’s rent instead of the traditional five-week deposit.

Since launch, we’ve partnered with thousands of estate agents, property managers, and build-to-rent operators nationwide. We also integrate with leading software providers, including tenant referencing and CRM platforms.

We are a remote-first company, but we meet monthly in person to work together and socialise.

What’s It Like to Work at Reposit?

We are a lean team building a robust and sustainable business. Not just a hype machine. We care about delivering on Reposit’s mission for our customers. Being a scale-up we need to be agile and move fast. We also understand that it is a marathon that requires patience and resilience to achieve success in the long run.

As a remote-first team, we look for people who are self-motivated, productive and collaborative. We empower team members to take ownership, make decisions, and choose the best way to solve problems. When things don’t work, we learn and move on; no blame.

We value open communication and honest conversations. We hold a weekly all-hands and monthly in-person meetups to stay connected and keep our culture strong.

Although we understand that culture evolves and it can be oversimplifying to codify it into a handful of words, here are some things we look for in all Reposit team members:

You care

When you engage in doing something, you demonstrate genuine care for the quality of your work, your teammates, and ultimately the success of the business in delivering for customers and achieving its mission.

You embrace challenge

You thrive on being challenged and seek opportunities to push yourself. You are a problem solver and enjoy the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles. As a result, you lean towards situations with a level of uncertainty or higher risk and reward.

You are proactive and self-driven

You take initiative and don’t require constant guidance or instruction. You are able to anticipate needs and take action before being told.

You are collaborative

You work collaboratively within your team and with other teams in the business to achieve the best results in the most efficient way. You are conscious of the impact your work has on others and considerate of their time and responsibilities. You are able to adapt and work well with people who have different communication and work styles.
