We are a fast moving and ambitious business that seeks to recruit smart and capable people, who can take ownership of their role to help the business thrive. With over 200 people based in Australia, Plenti is small enough so everyone can make a difference in their role, but we have very big ambitions as a team, as we go about building Australia’s best lender.

- Liaise with external collections agencies, legal representatives, third parties and other stakeholders as required
- Assessing and responding to proposed debt agreements and bankruptcy petitions
- Compliance with all regulatory obligations including the NCCP Act, Privacy Act, ASIC Regulatory Guides and AML/KYC requirements
- Collaborate with internal teams to improve hardship processes and enhance service quality
- Inbound and outbound customer contact will be required

**What type of background will make you successful?**
- 2+ years’ experience and demonstrated high performance in an unsecured or secured hardship role
- In depth knowledge of hardship regulations, including NCCP, ASIC/ACCC collections guidelines and Privacy Act
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to negotiate and resolve complex situations with professionalism and empathy
- Proven ability to meet performance targets and deadlines in a fast-paced, evolving environment
- Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail and time management skills
- The ability to work autonomously, think on your feet and work in an evolving work environment dealing with complex enquiries

**What's life like at Plenti?**

Working at Plenti means joining a team that is high-performing, diverse, customer-focused and collaborative. It’s a place where everyone can “make it happen” and share in the results and success. If being in a dynamic industry as part of a market-leading fintech sounds like you, then join to help us reshape Australia’s financial eco-system for the good.

In return, you will enjoy a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship to take your career further. We offer flexible working and volunteer and study leave to develop your skills. We also have monthly social events, office snacks, company Townhalls and D&I initiatives and events to help you connect with your colleagues.
