As a Recovery Account Specialist, you will play a critical role in helping small business owners navigate their outstanding balance on their revenue-based financing by directly negotiating with them.

  • Flexibility is a top priority. Our employees are empowered to choose where they want to work (whether that’s from home, in the office, or a combination of both) with flexible hours.
  • Performance based compensation. Our commitment to performance-driven success is reflected in our incentive-based programs, designed to motivate and reward employees for their contributions. This role includes a monthly performance-based incentive, ensuring that your hard work and results directly impact your earnings.


In this role you will:

  • Service a portfolio of small and medium sized business (SBM) customer accounts using a variety of contact methods to include calling, text messages, and emails.
  • Negotiate with customers to establish payment plans that are sustainable and meet Forward business objectives.
  • Achieve monthly goals of recovered payments from customers, meeting or exceeding incentive compensation targets.
  • Professionally leverage various legal pressure points to drive customer engagement and resolution.
  • Regularly document the status of account(s) and next steps in Salesforce CRM.

(Even if you don’t check every box, but see yourself contributing, please apply.)

  • Bachelor’s Degree preferred or equivalent work experience.
  • 5 years of professional Customer Service/Sales/ Collections experience.
  • Ability to listen to customer needs, communicate effectively, respond empathetically and recover monthly targets of past due customer balances.
  • Team player who asks questions and takes the initiative to suggest improvements on current processes and systems.
  • Strong analytical and written communication skills with high attention to detail.
  • Competitive nature with ability to maintain focus and complete tasks independently.


Forward Financing Core Values:

  • Drive the Mission - We believe in financial opportunity for underserved small businesses. We say “yes” when others say “no.”
  • Keep It Real - We value direct communication, candid feedback, and authenticity. We are an open book.
  • Act With Kindness - We create an environment where caring is cool and helping is the norm. We do the right thing.
  • Shoot for Extraordinary - We are inspired by innovative thinking and continuous improvement. We never settle for yesterday’s best.

Plus, with their dedicated teams and award-winning service, customers get personalized support when they need it most.

Since 2012, Forward has expanded access to capital by providing over $3.2 billion in funding to nearly 67,000 small businesses. The company is A rated by the Better Business Bureau with an Excellent / 4.7 stars rating on Trustpilot.com. Forward is also recognized as a Best Place to Work by Built In Boston, certified as a Great Place to Work®, and is committed to helping their people and the small businesses they serve to achieve their full potential.

Forward actively promotes a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in all we do. We encourage a workplace where trust and respect are paramount and all employees feel valued, heard, and accepted. Our diverse and driven group of over 460 people, with approximately 200 based in the US, and 260 in the Dominican Republic, is a 100% employee-owned company. Our people are excited about their work, knowing they are helping thousands of small businesses while advancing their own careers.

Perks & Benefits:

At Forward, our team members are at the heart of our company, and we are committed to taking care of them as people, not just employees. We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including but not limited to: medical, dental, vision, and commuter benefits, a flexible time-off policy, paid parental leave, 401k match for US employees, wellness reimbursement, volunteering days, annual professional development budget, and charitable donation match.

Workplace flexibility is a top priority at Forward too. Our Employee Choice policy means that almost all of our employees get to decide where they work. As a business, we are focused on impact; we are more concerned with your contributions to the success of the company than where you get your work done. If face-to-face time is desired, people managers are empowered to find a cadence that works for their team.

When we aren’t collaborating to drive business and support our customers, we’re finding virtual and in-person ways to get to know our colleagues, celebrate team wins, and have fun together!
