Role overview

• Title and location: Manager (Debt Management Services), Hyderabad.
• Eligibility: Law graduate with 2–3 years of post‑qualification legal experience.
• Function: Legal recoveries for collections—end‑to‑end from suit filing to execution and police coordination.

Key responsibilities

• Recovery outcomes and targets
  • Deliver on monthly/quarterly targets for legal recoveries and rollbacks across assigned portfolios.
  • Identify high‑probability cases for legal escalation; maintain strong filing‑to‑execution conversion.
• Speedy legal action
  • Coordinate quick filing for criminal and civil recovery processes as per strategy; pursue summons, warrants, attachment warrants, and execution with minimum turnaround.
  • Track hearing schedules, ensure presence of counsel, and drive timely applications for defaults, ex parte, and execution steps.
• Vendor and stakeholder management
  • Appoint and manage empaneled advocates; monitor SLAs, quality of pleadings, and success ratios.
  • Liaise with court staff, process servers, and enforcement agencies to remove bottlenecks.
• Field operations and audits
  • Travel to assigned locations to inspect case files, meet counsel, and unblock procedural issues.
  • Ensure robust MIS and timely reporting; enforce checks, controls, and strict audit/compliance protocols.
• Collections enablement
  • Provide rapid legal support to collections teams for notices, complaints, and escalations; help structure pre‑lit settlements, rollbacks, and withdrawals where appropriate.
  • Handle legal customer‑issue escalations, ensuring fair process and documentation.
• Police and complaint handling
  • Coordinate with police authorities for cognizable matters, cheating/forgery complaints where legally sustainable, and recovery‑linked criminal processes in line with law and internal policy.

Ideal candidate profile

• Proven recovery litigation exposure covering criminal complaints, summary suits, Section 138 NI Act matters, and execution proceedings.
• Strong advocate/vendor management, with a track record of reducing cycle times from filing to decree/execution.
• Command over MIS/reporting, with an eye for data integrity and audit‑readiness.
• Field‑ready, with the ability to travel and resolve ground‑level issues across police stations, courts, and tehsils.

Success levers in the role

• Cycle time reduction: Shorten timelines for summons service, warrants, and execution orders using diligent follow‑ups and process rigor.
• Quality pleadings: Standardize templates for complaints, affidavits, and execution applications to minimize defects and adjournments.
• Governance discipline: Zero tolerance on MIS lag, documentation gaps, and audit non‑compliance; frequent file audits at vendor offices.
• Smart escalation strategy: Prioritize legal action where evidence, address serviceability, and asset position support strong recovery; blend pre‑lit settlements where value‑accretive.

Day‑to‑day toolkit

• Document set readiness: Loan agreements, KYC, SOA, notices, proof of service, and deficiency trackers for each case.
• Cause‑list and calendarization: Daily tracking of hearings across courts; alerts for limitation and execution steps.
• SLA dashboards: Filing to first hearing, summons issuance to service, decree to attachment, and execution success metrics.
• Compliance checklists: Legal notice formats, authorization/POA, police complaint templates, and evidence collation SOPs.

Growth path and exposure

• Cross‑functional collaboration with collections, risk, and legal leadership; scope to lead larger regional portfolios based on performance.
• Hands‑on experience in high‑volume retail/NBFC litigation, execution practice, and vendor ecosystem building.

Application guidance

• Tailor the CV to highlight:
  • Volumes handled across notices, filings, and executions with success/rollback metrics.
  • Types of matters (NI Act, civil recovery, criminal complaints), police coordination instances, and cycle‑time reductions achieved.
  • Vendor network built, SLA frameworks implemented, and MIS/audit practices strengthened.
• Attach a sanitized matter list showcasing representative outcomes and improved recovery ratios.
