About the team/role: As a Senior Recovery Agent, you are the critical line of defense in safeguarding WEX’s financial health and driving robust risk management. This isn't just a transactional collections role—it is a strategic individual contributor position where your advanced expertise directly impacts our bottom line. You will own recovery of a complex, high-stakes portfolio of past-due commercial accounts. Utilizing specialized financial negotiation tactics and a deep understanding of B2B credit risk, you will act as a trusted subject matter expert to secure vital payments, minimize outstanding exposure, and maintain customer relationships wherever possible. You will have the autonomy to shape how we work. We look to our Senior Agents to continuously analyze workflows, identify inefficiencies, and recommend process improvements or technology solutions that help our team scale.

Execute sound communication (oral and written) to educate customers on account terms and conditions and effectively resolve complex delinquent balances. Monitor and manage shared group inboxes, ensuring timely and accurate resolution of customer payment inquiries and disputes. Evaluate complex account details and historical transaction data systematically to diagnose root causes of delinquency and determine the most effective, risk-mitigated collection approach. Negotiate complex payment structures, short-term payment plans, and commercial settlements independently within established corporate risk guidelines and authority limits. Apply advanced industry knowledge, corporate credit policies, and ensure strict, unwavering adherence to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and regional regulatory mandates during all client interactions. Document all collection activities, payment commitments, skip tracing results, and structural account modifications accurately and in real-time within the core collections system of record. Partner actively with internal Global Risk Operations units and broader cross-functional teams (e.g., Contact Center, Billing) to resolve systemic disputes and eliminate complex barriers to customer payment. Clarify contract terms, legal financial obligations, and ongoing payment modalities clearly to customers to ensure long-term accounts receivable health and compliance. Achieve or exceed defined weekly and monthly service level objectives (SLOs), including portfolio productivity, quality assurance benchmarks, and recovery effectiveness metrics. Partner with leadership to proactively identify and embrace opportunities to integrate AI, workflow routing engines, and automation technologies into daily operational processes.
