Purchase Ledger Clerk

Your new company

Hays are recruiting for a large engineering organisation based in Glasgow, who have recently undergone change. As part of this transition, they're tackling a backlog in their finance operations and are now seeking a Purchase Ledger Clerk on a temporary basis, who can hit the ground running and support their busy finance team. This is a full-time temporary position, working 39 hours per week, with hybrid flexibility-you'll be able to work 2-3 days from home.

Your new role

In this role, you will report directly to the Finance Controller and carry out a variety of Accounts Payable duties. You will also serve as a key point of contact for supplier queries, working closely with both internal teams and external vendors to resolve any issues or discrepancies. Additionally, you will handle statement reconciliations to ensure all accounts are up-to-date and discrepancies are resolved. In addition, you will handle bank reconciliations and manage payment runs. There is also an opportunity to support Accounts Receivable tasks and assist with any other ad hoc duties as required.

What you'll need to succeed

The successful candidate will have prior Accounts Payable experience and have strong attention to detail. You will have excellent interpersonal skills to communicate openly and build positive relationships both internally and externally. You will have experience working with Excel, including V-Lookups and Pivot Tables, and the successful candidate will ideally have experience using an IFS system or a similar integrated package. You must also be immediately available to start the role and able to hit the ground running.

What you'll get in return
