The Credit & Revenue Management team plays a critical role in protecting revenue while supporting fair, compliant and customer‑focused outcomes. As Business Process Lead - Credit & Payments, you will own credit risk, collections and accounts receivable process outcomes across Retail Operations.

You’ll get clear direction, genuine flexibility, and the support you need to grow, all while working on projects that make a lasting difference. We’re big enough to create impact, but small enough that your ideas and effort will always be seen.
There are plenty of other great benefits of working for Alinta Energy, including flexible working, energy discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), a paid volunteer day each year, fully stocked kitchens, and lots more.
