    Maybe an accounts receivable clerk. The short version is you'd be keeping track of invoices sent to customers, and chase them to pay if the invoices get overdue. Most job ads will say you need an accounting background but you might get lucky and find a company that's just looking for anyone well-organized who shows up on time and sober. Some companies call the same job credit analyst. If it's in the same industry then your knowledge there could outweigh the lack of an accounting background.

    Warning: you will almost certainly be dealing with unreasonably pushy management who want the money to be flowing in and who have never worked AR themselves. The key is covering one's ass. Document every attempt to contact a customer for money. Dates, times, contact info, phone conversation notes, etc. Stay organized and calm and professional in your language in email and on the phone, and you'll do just fine. It's not at all a hard job, just one that takes a lot of organization skills.
