Accounts Receivables Director

Accounts Receivable Director

You'll be the architect of what's next in financial operations, owning client revenue through optimized collections and scaling meaningful financial outcomes for Searce.

What are we looking for

Real Solver? Absolutely. But not the usual kind. We're searching for the architects of the audacious & the pioneers of the possible. If you're the type to dismantle assumptions, re-engineer ‘best practices,’ and build solutions that make the future possible NOW, then you're speaking our language.

Improver. Solver. Futurist. Great sense of humor. ‘Possible. It is.’ Mindset. Compassionate collaborator. Bold experimenter. Tireless iterator. Natural creativity that doesn’t just challenge the norm, but solves to design what’s better. Thinks in systems. Solves at scale.

This Isn’t for Everyone. But if you’re the kind who questions why things are done a certain way—and then identifies 3 better ways to do it — we’d love to chat with you.

Your Mission : The Role

Solving for Better.

As an Accounts Receivable Director, you'll be a Searce business leader and a 'forward deployed solver'. Your mission is to 'futurify' finance by leveraging AI and automation to conquer real-world financial challenges. This role carries direct revenue accountability, ensuring robust cash flow and strategic client financial outcomes.

Your Responsibilities

What you will wake up to solve.

"This isn't a 'chase invoices' role. You are the founder, the architect, and the DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) for transforming our accounts receivable into a strategic revenue engine. Your mission is to partner with our visionary clients, leverage our 'solver DNA' to disrupt traditional payment processes, and genuinely futurify our financial operations to create 'real value' and ensure exceptional payment hygiene."

Be hands-on in the AR function, driving collections efficiently and effectively, and preparing accurate monthly forecast reports.

Lead by Example & Impact, Not Control :

Attract, hire, mentor, and grow top-tier solver talent within the accounts receivable function.

Live the “Always in Beta” mindset - build learners, not followers, constantly identifying process gaps.

Model extreme ownership, radical clarity, calm in chaos, especially when managing high-aging clients.

Believe in truth over comfort and learning over knowing, fostering continuous process enhancement.

Cultivate a team of self-managed, happier do-ers who prioritize communication and ensure proper resolution of client disputes.
