Job Title: Collections Administrative Assistant

Location: St. Louis County, MO

Type: Direct Hire

PEG Staffing & Recruiting is proud to partner with a prestigious non-profit client in St. Louis County to find a dedicated Collections Administrative Assistant to join their team. If you’re detail-oriented, service-minded, and ready to make an impact in higher education, this could be the perfect fit!

What You’ll Do:

In this pre-collections, non-calling role, you’ll be the behind-the-scenes support that helps ensure student account data is accurate, complete, and ready for referral to third-party collection agencies. You'll also act as a helpful guide for students, directing inquiries with empathy and professionalism.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Facilitating the transfer of delinquent student account data to collection agencies
• Directing student inquiries to the appropriate agencies with a pleasant and professional demeanor
• Performing heavy data entry and assisting with tracking collection holds, returned payments, and agency submissions
• Supporting monthly reconciliations and bad debt reporting
• Using Excel to enter and manage data in shared spreadsheets (no advanced functions required but would be a plus)
• Preparing for software transition.

Important to note:

• No outbound collection calls and very limited inbound calls (8–15/day)
• This is not a direct collections role—it’s more administrative and customer-service oriented
• Great fit for someone looking to transition out of consumer collections into a more mission-driven role

What You Bring:

• 3+ years of experience in collections OR a professional office setting, OR 2 years of related college education
• Experience managing financial data or working in an office environment
• Strong communication and time management skills
• Professional, empathetic, and team-oriented demeanor
• General proficiency in Microsoft Excel (no formulas, pivot tables, or VLOOKUPs required)
• Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new systems

Schedule:

• On-site role
• Opportunity to support students and grow your career in a purpose-driven environment

This is a great opportunity to work for an organization that values service, education, and community. Ready to bring your administrative and financial skills to a role that makes a difference? We’d love to hear from you.
