Big Ass Fans Careers

Big Ass Who?

We didn’t set out to start a fan company. We set out to solve a problem—workplace discomfort. (Sorry, HR, not your kind.) Facilities become furnaces during the summer, but businesses still expect peak performance and productivity. Without providing the basic human right of comfort, that’s just asinine. Seeing how overhead fans cooled California dairy cows begged a massive question for our founder. “Can a fan be made to revolutionize comfort for people?” he uttered.

That’s when the HVLS Fan Company was born—with the first-ever patented high-volume, low-speed fan. But that name? BOR-ing. And customers knew it. We kept getting calls asking, “Are you the guys who make those big ass fans?” Hell yeah, we are. And Big Ass Fans was born, complete with our own cheeky donkey mascot, Fanny. Today, we don’t just move air, we transform experiences. Big Ass Fans deliver comfort where it counts. We build every product like lives depend on it. Because, turns out, they do.

Our success is a result of the Big Ass Fans team’s innovation. Are you seeking an opportunity to work with extraordinary people with an entrepreneurial spirit? Do you have something that sets you apart from the rest? With a bias for action, we want you to #livelifebigass and bring the next great BAF product to market. From our customers to our employees, we are passionate about what we can accomplish together. The successful candidate will bring passion, energy, and a “get it done” mentality to BAF and the industrial business and contribute in a meaningful way to realize the company’s full potential in the market.

Opportunity

Ready to put your accounting superpowers to work at a company that’s literally built on moving air? At Big Ass Fans, we don’t just make giant fans with even bigger personalities, we’re on a mission to make the world safer, healthier, and more productive, one smooth‑running system at a time. And that mission starts with people like you.

We’re looking for an Accounts Receivable Coordinator who can keep cash flowing as effortlessly as our fans keep the air circulating. If you’re the type who loves numbers, thrives on accuracy, and can track down a delinquent invoice faster than a ceiling fan set to turbo, you’ll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Review billing reports to spot delinquent accounts and keep our cash flow spinning smoothly.
• Reach out to customers via phone, email, or written communication to help bring accounts current—including sending invoices, statements, and shipping details as needed.
• Collect payments in line with due dates and follow up with the persistence of a fan set to high speed (but always professionally).
• Identify what’s causing account delinquencies and collaborate with management to resolve them.
• Troubleshoot and resolve billing discrepancies and customer credit issues.
• Research and resolve misapplied payments, handling everything from simple fixes to moderately complex puzzles.
• Maintain accurate records and provide clear reporting on collection activities.
• Enter customer payments into the ERP system with precision and timeliness.
• Manage online billing through customer portals such as Ariba, Taulia, and others.
• Take on additional duties as assigned. 

What You'll Bring

• Intermediate skills in Microsoft Excel (you know your way around formulas, not just the fill color button)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to interact professionally with customers
• 1–3 years of experience in Accounts Receivable or Collections
• Highly motivated, detail‑oriented, and ready to be a key player on a collaborative team
• Ability to stay adaptable and effective in a fast‑paced environment
• Excellent attention to detail, paired with accuracy you can count on
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities
• Working knowledge of billing procedures and standard collection techniques

Think you have what it takes, but your background doesn’t perfectly align with this role? No sweat! If this position gets your fan spinning, we encourage you to apply and tell us how you’ll succeed with your unique skills in your application.
