Debt Collection & US Finance Ops Internship
Own day-to-day US financial operations at sunday: manage customer payments, investigate debt, and improve finance processes in a fast-growing international scale-up.
👋 About us
sunday is building the fastest and simplest way to pay at a restaurant. By simply scanning a QR code, guests can pay, leave a tip and go in about 10 seconds. We believe the best products should be obvious, not complicated, and we focus relentlessly on simplicity while earning the trust of restaurants and guests with every interaction. Today, sunday makes payments easier in thousands of restaurants across the United States, the United Kingdom and France, helping venues speed up table turnover, increase tips and unlock valuable data. We push ourselves to go beyond expectations, with a strong sense of ownership, fast execution and ambitious growth.
About the role
sunday is a fast-growing start-up that needs to build structure across many areas at the same time. The teams have a roadmap of fixes to address the root causes of debt, but they are currently operating at full capacity.
In the meantime, someone needs to take the lead: contain the debt, reduce it, and flag anything that needs to be fixed. That is the role of this internship.
Key responsibilities
Manage debt through data
Track debt levels every week and keep monitoring tools up to date.
Quickly get up to speed with our software (billing, payments, CRM, spreadsheets) and infrastructure, even if you have not used them before.
Build your own working routine to handle accounts consistently and efficiently.
Automate anything you can at your level (AI, AI Agent).
Collect payments from customers
Call customers with outstanding debt and conduct conversations that are polite but firm.
Use your judgment: know when an account has received enough warnings and when action is needed, without letting a delaying account manager stall the process.
Balance suspending an account against the risk of churn.
Escalate to Account Managers when the situation calls for it.
Investigate and improve processes
Analyze debt cases to identify their causes: they vary from one account to another.
Distinguish recurring patterns from one-off exceptions, and flag anything that points to a deeper issue.
Direct the relevant teams to the right topics: RevOps, Customer Experience, Account Management, Tech, Payments, and Finance.
Own the Financial Operations
Own day-to-day US financial operations, including invoice processing, customer billing, payment tracking, and vendor and customer communication.
Improve and automate finance workflows, tools, and controls as sunday scales across multiple markets.
Approve & submit employee expense reports & vendor invoices for the US team guided by the US Director of Finance.
