Senior Accounts Payable

Want to be part of something people experience every day? We’re looking for a Senior Accounts Payable & Procure-to-Pay Specialist to join our Finance team. This is a great opportunity to play a key role in supporting our UK portfolio, helping to strengthen how we manage Accounts Payable and Procure-to-Pay activity across a fast-moving, collaborative and ambitious environment. You’ll be close to the action, working with teams across Accounting, Controlling, Leasing, Operations and Shopping Centre Management, and you’ll have the chance to make a visible impact across our UK assets. If you enjoy taking ownership, solving complex financial challenges and finding better ways of working, we’d love to hear from you.

Why this role matters

In this role, you’ll help us deliver accurate, timely and efficient Procure-to-Pay activity across our UK portfolio. You’ll act as a senior point of contact for suppliers and internal stakeholders, taking ownership of more complex Accounts Payable processes and helping resolve issues through to completion. You’ll also play an important part in supporting month-end and year-end financial activity, improving how we work, and contributing to the ongoing development of our SAP S/4HANA environment. Your work will directly support smooth financial operations, stronger stakeholder relationships and continued improvements across the region.

What you’ll be getting involved in

• Managing complex Procure-to-Pay activity, including invoice processing, coding, posting, reconciliations, exception handling and month-end close activities
• Ensuring Accounts Payable transactions are accurate, complete and delivered on time across the UK portfolio
• Supporting month-end and year-end financial reporting with timely and accurate AP input
• Acting as a senior escalation point for suppliers, resolving payment queries and driving issues through to completion
• Supporting the continuous improvement and harmonisation of P2P processes across the region
• Contributing to the development and optimisation of SAP S/4HANA
• Building strong relationships with internal stakeholders across Accounting, Controlling, Leasing, Operations and Shopping Centre Management
• Providing financial and operational support to URW centres when required

What we’re looking for

We’re not looking for someone who ticks every single box. What matters most is that you bring the right experience, attitude and energy to make a real contribution. You’ll enjoy this role if you:

• Have strong experience in Accounts Payable, Shared Services or Procure-to-Pay environments
• Understand end-to-end P2P processes and enjoy working through detail accurately
• Are confident managing large volumes of transactional data
• Like taking ownership and following issues through to resolution
• Can manage multiple priorities and work to tight deadlines
• Are confident building relationships with different stakeholders and communicating clearly
• Enjoy solving problems and finding better ways of working
• Care about delivering work that supports wider business performance

It would be great if you also bring:

• Advanced Excel skills
• Experience working within a large, complex or international organisation
• Experience within real estate, property or retail
• Knowledge of SAP S/4HANA
• Experience supporting process transformation, systems improvement or process harmonisation projects
