What does an Assistant Credit Manager do?
Credit managers oversee a company’s credit-granting process. They optimize company sales and reduce bad loans by maintaining a strict credit policy. They do this by assessing potential customers’ creditworthiness and conducting periodic reviews of their existing customers. Credit managers evaluate potential customers’ creditworthiness through credit scoring models that help with risk assessment. They approve and reject loans through the available data and calculate and set loan interest rates.
Credit managers review and update the company's credit policy and monitor loan payments and bad debts. They calculate and set loan interest rates, negotiate the terms of a loan with new clients, and ensure all loans and lending procedures comply with policy and regulation. They also maintain records of all company loans. Credit managers need a bachelor's degree in accounting, business administration, finance, or related fields and proven work experience as a credit manager.

How much of a pay cut would you entertain to stay WFH, or work at an office 15 minutes away from your house? I moved companies during COVID, was told verbally my position would be remote, now starting to get pressure to go in the office and have a feeling it’s going to be mandatory multiple days a week, it’s a 50 minute commute. My prior company wants me back, is local and I really enjoyed working there. I don’t know how much they’d offer but I know they can’t match my bonus.
