  • Strong ownership and follow-through on tasks, with a proactive and organized approach.
  • Demonstrated experience with skip tracing techniques, including the use of databases, public records, and investigative tools to locate debtors.
  • Apply comprehensive knowledge of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) to ensure all collection activities are compliant with federal regulations and industry standards.
  • Skilled in navigating structured environments and adhering to legal procedures.
  • Professional communicator, capable of handling interactions with attorneys, clients, and difficult individuals.
  • Calm under pressure, with excellent multitasking and deadline management abilities.
  • Detail-oriented and forward-thinking, with strong problem-solving and organizational skills.

  • Experience providing support for attorneys by conducting legal research, document review and management, drafting legal documents, E-Discovery, etc.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook); experience with office management software is a plus.
  • What makes You a great fit :

  • You're confident, persuasive, and energized by solving problems in real time.
  • You like variety in your work and perform best when you're trusted to make quick, informed decisions. You're competitive but collaborative - someone who can charm, challenge, and close with equal skill.
  • You think analytically but communicate dynamically.
  • You're the person who can navigate tough conversations with professionalism, find creative ways around roadblocks, and stay calm under pressure. You're not afraid to take ownership - in fact, you prefer it.
