Ready to step up from Senior AP into a leadership role, or looking for a position where you can make a bigger impact?
This is an opportunity to lead the day-to-day operation of a busy Accounts Payable function while remaining hands-on. You'll coordinate workflow, support and develop the team, solve problems before they escalate, and help shape improvements that make the whole purchase-to-pay process more efficient.
If you enjoy leading by example rather than title alone, this could be the move you've been looking for.
What you'll be doing
You'll oversee the daily flow of invoices through to payment, making sure work is completed accurately, on time and in line with company procedures. Alongside managing workloads and supporting the AP team, you'll become the first point of contact for more complex supplier queries, approval issues and process challenges.
You'll also work closely with Procurement and other departments to improve processes, support month-end activities, validate payment runs and provide operational cover for the AP Manager when needed.
Just as importantly, you'll coach and support your colleagues, helping new starters settle in and experienced team members continue to develop.
What we're looking for
You'll already have solid Accounts Payable experience and be comfortable coordinating the work of others, whether that's as a Team Leader, Senior AP Clerk or similar position.
You'll also bring:
Strong end-to-end Accounts Payable knowledge.
Experience working with ERP systems (Oracle Fusion would be advantageous).
Confidence dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
Good Excel and general IT skills.
A proactive approach to improving processes and solving problems.
The ability to stay organised and calm in a high-volume environment.
