ABOUT US

Wave is a leading national business water retailer helping over 300,000 customers across the UK to benefit from the non-household water market. We’re dedicated to helping businesses lower water use, be more water efficient and reduce costs – all which helped us earn all which helped us proudly earn the Water Retailer of the Year award in 2021, reclaim the title in 2023. Most recently, we celebrated the win again in 2025, where the judges highlighted our commitment to social value and sustainability as well as our market-leading customer service. Our vision is to be the most customer-focused utility delivering value and efficiency in everything we do, making a positive difference to the environment and society.

The culture at Wave is like nowhere else. We’re committed to a happy, healthy place to work, and have a working environment which supports continuous learning and development, one where people can really flourish. Our people are at the centre of everything we do. Joining us means you’d be part of a team of over 300 people working flexibly across two UK based offices. You’ll find a real focus on employee wellbeing and some great benefits too. We expect great things from you and we give great things back.

THE ROLE IN A NUTSHELL

As our Head of Credit Control, you’ll lead the strategy and delivery of debt prevention, credit risk management and cash collection across the business. This is a highly visible leadership role where you’ll balance long-term strategic thinking with hands-on operational decision-making, helping to protect business performance while ensuring customers are treated fairly and positively. Leading both internal teams and external partners, you’ll drive continuous improvement, influence senior stakeholders across the organisation and create a high-performing, inclusive culture focused on delivering the best outcomes for both our customers and the business.

WHAT WILL YOUR TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?

No two days are the same, but you can expect to spend your time shaping and delivering credit control strategies, reviewing debt performance and identifying opportunities to reduce arrears and improve cash collection. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, Finance, Operations, Digital and Customer teams to tackle the root causes of debt, improve customer journeys and implement effective risk mitigation plans. Alongside leading and developing your team, you'll monitor the performance of outsourced partners, use data and insight to make informed decisions, present performance updates to senior stakeholders and ensure the right balance between commercial outcomes, customer experience and operational efficiency.

WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?

We're looking for an experienced and inspiring leader with a proven track record of developing and delivering successful credit control and debt management strategies. You'll bring strong commercial awareness, excellent analytical skills and the ability to turn complex data into clear actions and results. Confident influencing stakeholders at all levels, you’ll be equally comfortable presenting strategic recommendations to executives as you are supporting teams through operational change. Most importantly, you'll be passionate about developing people, driving continuous improvement and creating an inclusive, customer-focused culture that delivers lasting business impact.
