This is a hands-on newly created role with real responsibility and visibility, ideal for someone who’s confident managing the full AP process and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.

• Investigate and resolve supplier queries, working cross-functionally to clear aged balances and discrepancies
• Carry out regular checks for duplicate invoices or supplier accounts, ensuring ledger accuracy and integrity
• Support the implementation of a new Purchase Order system, liaising with suppliers and internal teams to embed process changes smoothly
• Process a high volume of invoices accurately and efficiently, in line with company policies and supplier terms
• Assist with month-end close activities

Person specification:

• Strong experience in Accounts Payable, ideally in a high-volume, multi-entity environment
• Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to manage and prioritise workload independently
• Confident communicator, able to build strong working relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Comfortable working with finance systems and Excel; prior experience in PO roll outs is a bonus
• Proactive, solution-focused mindset and a genuine interest in improving processes

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to take ownership of their role, work within a collaborative finance team, and play a key part in systems and process improvement.
