Job description

About us: iconic brand, tiny company.

 

Polaroid was founded in 1937 by one of the most seminal innovators of the 20th century, Edwin Land. His motto was, “don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.” In 2008, Polaroid shuttered its last factory, but a group of diehard fans came together as The Impossible Project to save instant film. Over 10 years later that startup acquired what was left of Polaroid and today we’re again a small group of people passionate about changing the world through great products.

  • Review contractual agreements and flag inconsistencies or disputes.

  • Push back when necessary on pricing deviations and unapproved discounts, working closely with the Sales team to ensure contractual alignment.

  • Maintain contact with credit insurers regarding customer exposure and risk assessments.

  • Monitor and report on Accounts Receivable metrics, including aging, DSO, and overdue performance.

  • Support month-end closing activities and cash flow forecasting.

 

Qualifications:

  • 3-5 years of experience in Accounts Receivable, with exposure to large B2B clients and international accounts.

  • Comfortable working with various customer systems and portals.

  • Strong communicator with the confidence to challenge stakeholders constructively.
