πŸ’Ό About the Role

Murphy is building the AI agents that will run real collections conversations for banks, lenders and collection agencies across The UK β€” and we need people who've actually done the job to make sure our AI does it right. We're recruiting Debt-Collection Experts to join our advisor network in a consultant/advisor capacity: no full-time commitment, just your judgment and experience, paid by the hour (roughly 5–20 hours per month).

You'll work directly with Murphy's product and AI teams to pressure-test how our voice agents negotiate, escalate, and stay compliant β€” bringing the floor-level and strategic reality of the UK collections into how we design and train our technology.

πŸ“ Responsibilities

Domain Review & AI Validation

Review call flows, scripts and negotiation logic used by Murphy's AI agents and flag anything that doesn't match how a real collections desk would handle it.

Validate cadence, cure-rate assumptions, settlement/negotiation ranges, and escalation paths against real-world practice.

Stress-test edge cases: disputes, renegotiation, hardship, repeat promises-to-pay, and regulatory triggers.

Compliance & Local Nuance

Flag anything that could create compliance risk under British consumer-protection rules.

Advise on tone, channel mix and contact-frequency norms considered acceptable vs. abusive in the The UK market.

Knowledge Transfer

Join periodic working sessions (calls/async review) with Murphy's product and engineering teams.

Share real examples, scripts and playbooks from your own collections experience (anonymized, no client data).

🎯 What We're Looking For

We're recruiting across two profiles:

Bank in-house collections leaders β€” you've owned the creditor-side process: placement strategy, make-vs-buy decisions, and portfolio oversight.

DCA / servicer / BPO collections & contact-centre managers β€” you've run the floor: cadence, scripts, cure rates, and agent incentives.

And you likely also have:

5+ years of experience in collections.

Current or recent (≀2 years) experience at a named bank, DCA, servicer or BPO.

A title of Manager, Team Lead, Head, Director or VP (front-line agent/officer/advisor titles only qualify if you've since moved into managing a team).

English Native speaker.

⏱️ The Engagement

Format: consultant/advisor, paid hourly.

Time commitment: approx. 5–20 hours/month, flexible around your schedule.

Fully remote.
