Junior Office Manager - Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, Accounts Receivable Focus

About WorkHero

WorkHero believes that the right office manager can be the difference between a business surviving and thriving. WorkHero provides expert office support to small HVAC business owners, combining industry expertise with cutting-edge AI tools. We handle administrative and operational tasks such as billing, payroll, permitting, and procurement. Our services save customers up to 16 hours a week, enabling them to focus on growing their business.

The Role

We're hiring a Junior Office Manager to own the phone work that keeps our clients' cash flowing. The bulk of your day is accounts receivable collections calls - calling homeowners and commercial customers on behalf of our HVAC clients to follow up on unpaid invoices, confirm payment, and resolve billing questions. You'll also handle a smaller mix of scheduling calls and one-off outbound campaigns as they come up.

This is a phone-forward role. You will be on calls for most of your working day. If you like the rhythm of a call queue, you know how to stay pleasant on the twentieth "I'll pay it next week" of the morning- this is a good fit.

What You'll Do

• A/R collections calls (primary): Work aging reports across multiple client accounts, contacting customers on past-due invoices, negotiating payment, taking payment over the phone, and accurately documenting every outcome.

• Follow-up and escalation: Maintain a callback cadence on open balances, flag disputed invoices and accounts that need to escalate to the account team or the client owner.

• Light scheduling calls: Confirm appointments, reschedule, and reach out for maintenance agreement renewals when an account needs coverage.

• Ad hoc outbound: Occasional additional outbound, which could include membership renewal pushes, estimate follow-ups, customer win-back lists, and similar campaigns.

• Documentation: Log call notes and payment commitments in a tracking sheet or the client's field service management platform so the account team always knows where each balance stands.

You’re a Great Fit If:

Required

• 2+ years in an outbound or high-volume call centre role for an HVAC shop, or 2+ years as a dispatcher/CSR at an HVAC shop. HVAC-shop experience is a must-have.

• Familiarity with HVAC terminology (system types, maintenance agreements, common repair line items).

• Comfort with collections conversations - you can ask for money directly and stay calm, friendly and professional when a customer gets frustrated.

• Above average people skills, with a pleasant demeanour and a strong ability to built rapport.

• Solid written communication for tracking collections and internal handoffs.

• Reliability and self-management in a remote setting - you keep to a schedule without supervision.

• Reliable high-speed internet and a quiet dedicated workspace.

Preferred

• Hands-on experience with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, or Jobber.

• Prior A/R or collections experience specifically in the trades.

• Experience working with U.S. customers across multiple time zones.

What Success Looks Like

• Aging balances on your assigned accounts shrink month over month.

• Call volume and contact rates hold steady without quality slipping.

• Our Senior Office Managers never get surprised - disputes and problem accounts surface early.

• Customers stay customers. Collections calls are done in a way that protects the client's relationship with their homeowner.

Why WorkHero

• Fully remote, with a distributed team

• A clearly defined role with a measurable impact you can point to.

• We build AI automation into the work - you'll spend your time on conversations, not on manual list-pulling.

• Opportunities for growth and promotion
