Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable Manager

This isn't a training ground or a "give it a go" kind of job. This Warrington based business need someone who's been around the block with AP, AR and cash flow - someone who's confident taking full ownership without needing their hand holding.

You'll be supervising a small team - 3 in Accounts Payable, 1 in Accounts Receivable. You need to be good with people. But more than that, you need to care about how money comes in and how it goes out, that's what this role is about.

You'll be reporting into Treasury which is in the US which means no micromanaging. They'll leave you to get on with it. So, if you're the sort that needs a daily "well done" for doing your job, this won't be your scene.

Here's what you'll actually be doing:

• Running a small but mighty team of transactional finance staff. You'll need to lead them, coach them, and keep things running smoothly.
• Making sure invoices are paid (but not too quickly) and money owed gets chased (politely, but firmly).
• Taking ownership of the cash forecasting process like it's your own personal crystal ball.
• Spotting problems in processes and fixing them without making a song and dance about it.
• Building decent relationships with procurement, ops, and commercial, which means knowing when to push and when to back off.
• Reporting on KPIs, cash flow, and anything else that keeps them out of hot water.

You'll probably thrive in this role if:

• You've led a small finance team before and didn't hate it.
• You know your way around AP, AR, and cash forecasting like the back of your hand.
• You've worked in manufacturing or industrial settings, or somewhere where things get made and shipped.
• You like autonomy but don't abuse it.
• You don't need a slide deck to explain why a payment run's late.

What's in it for you:

• A salary between £40,000 and £50,000 depending on how sharp you are
• 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (you don't live to work)
• Private medical cover (more than just a fruit bowl and a flu jab
• A generous pension contribution (the grown-up kind, not the 3% "if you're lucky" kind)

This isn't a huge business, no endless layers of red tape. You'll be trusted to make decisions, fix things, and get results.
