These lines of credit are called "Floorplan facilities", they are a form of bailment which allows dealers to buy stock, hold it until sold then pay out the purchase cost.

This means assets are flow; on and off every daily.  Money collected is reconciled against sold assets and new assets are added as the stock is delivered.  Dealers often call with various account enquiries and interest is billed and collected each month.

The facility needs to be monitored for older stock and additional payments need to be collected when aged stock does not turn over.  Audits are also conducted to ensure that sold assets have been paid out, which may need to be followed uo with the dealer.

As you are talking to the dealers on a daily basis.  This role contains a high degree of relationship account management and will have the opportunity to visit dealers, potentially at boat, motorcycle and other trade shows?

The role will assist with preparation of credit reviews and confirming assets to be financed for new dealerships as they come on-board.

Requirements: We are looking for people with skills and experience showing:

• Commercial finance roles prefer a degree in finance / business / accounting
• Prior experience administering revolving commercial lines of credit, documentation and PPSR
• Good customer service skills to assist in building good customer relationships
