There are purchase ledger jobs where you spend three months trying to work out what you're actually supposed to be doing.
This isn't one of them.
This business need someone who already knows their way around a purchase ledger and can come in, get to grips with the systems and start being useful fairly quickly.

What they're looking for

They need somebody who has actually worked in purchase ledger/accounts payable before and understands what good looks like.
You'll also need
- Strong Excel and data manipulation skills
- Experience using Microsoft Word, Outlook and finance/accounting systems
- Good communication skills and the confidence to deal with suppliers and colleagues at all levels
- The ability to organise your own workload and work to deadlines
