Some jobs let you hide behind a script. This one asks you to actually show up for people on their worst financial day — bankruptcy, repossession, real hardship — and to be good enough at your job that you can help them find a way through it.

About the Role

We're hiring a Senior Case Manager for the Special Assistance & Hardship desk of a fast-growing Australian fintech lender, supporting customers Australia-wide. You'll own a high-volume caseload of complex, often escalated hardship and arrears cases — from first contact through to a sustainable plan back to good standing. It's a standalone role: no direct reports, and no one making the calls for you, so you'll need to be someone who works well independently and trusts your own judgement.

What You'll Do

• Manage a portfolio of roughly 50–60 complex cases a day, including escalated situations like bankruptcy, repossession, and incarceration

• Assess hardship applications and build sustainable, tailored solutions based on each person's real circumstances

• Negotiate and monitor payment arrangements through to resolution

• Recognise and respond to signs of vulnerability (illness, family violence, financial abuse), escalating appropriately

• Coordinate default and legal notices, liaising with external agencies and legal representatives on escalated accounts

• Keep accurate, complete records of every interaction in the CRM and loan management system

What You'll Bring

• Case management or at least 5 years of collections experience — AU experience is preferred, but we're just as open to local or international collections backgrounds

• A background in banking, lending, or another finance-related industry

• Strong communication and customer management skills, with a genuine track record of resolving cases and finding workable solutions

• The resilience to sit with someone's distress, help them properly, and set it down at the end of the call

• Comfortable being self-directed — you'll be trusted to run your own caseload with autonomy

• Confidence with CRM and loan management systems

Nice to Have

• Direct hardship (not just collections) experience — a strong plus, not a dealbreaker

• Working knowledge of Australian consumer credit rules (NCCP Act, Privacy Act, ASIC/ACCC guidelines)

• Experience supporting Australian, UK, or US customers in a BPO/offshore setting

• A bachelor's degree in business, finance, commerce, or similar

What's In It For You

• Genuinely meaningful work — you'll be the difference between a customer spiralling and a customer getting back on track

• A full-time, stable role working Australian business hours, based in Manila

• Competitive base salary, with flexibility for the right candidate — discussed during the interview

• Join a business recognised on the AFR Fast 100 and Fast Global Top 50 — real growth, not a stagnant BPO desk

• An open, collaborative team culture — even in a role you largely run yourself, you're backed by people who understand the work

Call to Action
