Althaf Hameed

With over 13 years of diverse experience in credit control, procurement, administration, sales, and logistics—12 of which were spent in Saudi Arabia—I am enthusiastic about applying for the Credit Controller position at your esteemed organization. My career began as a Sales Coordinator at Marketing Company in Bengaluru and advanced through various roles, including Administrative Support at Technip Italy, Document Controller at PICO, and Procurement and Payroll Coordinator at SK Engineering. My tenure as a Technical Documentation Specialist at SABIC further honed my skills in document management and logistics. Currently, in my role as a Credit Controller / Risk-Management Specialist at NES, I manage credit assessments, invoicing, collections, and oversee a credit facility with Saudi Bank, while leading a back-office team and facilitating the transition to SAP Ariba. My extensive experience and international background make me well-positioned to contribute effectively to your team.

• I manage the IDF account for a credit facility with Saudi Bank allocated to our company. My responsibilities include ensuring full utilization of funds once invoices are posted and recovering payments when client invoices are settled. I also collaborate closely with the treasury team on cash flows, particularly during payroll periods.
• In my current role, I have involved in building a back-office team in Bangalore and have trained all staff on Saudi business practices and requirements.
• Post-COVID, I transitioned from a manual invoicing process to SAP Ariba for major Saudi OFS clients, including SLB and Baker Hughes.
• I was actively involved in VAT implementation in KSA and achieved all objectives to ensure no invoice rejections.
• I have successfully closed most financial year-ends with an ODR of less than 3%.
• Early in my career, I supported a large sales team by managing client relationships through timely service delivery and scheduling meetings based on customer and team availability.
• I organized toolbox meetings and team gatherings at project sites.
• I managed local sourcing for materials and equipment needs.
• I participated in the SABIC project kickoff meeting to understand the team's objectives.
• I briefly worked in logistics, gaining experience in brokering and shipping line operations.
