About the client

About the role
We're seeking a seasoned Accounts Receivable Specialist to own end-to-end AR for our mass retail accounts, ensuring accurate invoicing, EDI compliance, cash application, deduction management, and proactive collections.

• Ensure accurate invoicing and EDI compliance (810, 820, 850, 852 transactions).
• Post and apply customer payments promptly; reconcile discrepancies.
• Drive a proactive collections cadence to reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and keep aging current.

Deduction & Chargeback Management

• Lead end-to-end deduction resolution through retailer portals (e.g., Walmart Retail Link, Target Partners Online).
• Investigate root causes of short-pays and chargebacks, compile supporting evidence, file and track disputes, and recover lost revenue.

Retailer Systems & Compliance Navigation
