• Coordinate recovery efforts with internal operations teams, third-party companies, and the broader vendor network to ensure efficient repossession.
• Maintain accurate records of all communications, fees, requirements, and account status updates in the appropriate systems.
• Provide consistent, professional customer service to all stakeholders, including clients, vendors, and impound facilities.
• Use Microsoft Office and other platforms to document activities, track progress, and support reporting needs.
