This is not a loan recovery or credit card collections role. There is no credit score, no regulatory lever, and no asset lock-in behind our receivables.

Recovery here is a value and relationship function.

The Collection Manager owns end-to-end collections for Quantum Leap Learning Solutions. The role is accountable for converting booked revenue into realised revenue at an 80%+ collection ratio, building a high-performing collections team, designing event-to-event collection strategies, and providing management with accurate revenue visibility through reports and forecasts.

This is a high-ownership, data-driven role that sits at the intersection of Sales, Finance, and Data, with direct impact on cash flow, refunds, and revenue predictability.
