Finance Operations Manager in London

About Yondr

Yondr is a disruptor. We challenge convention and simplify complexity. A global developer, owner operator and service provider of data centers, we deliver complex data center capacity needs for the world’s largest tech companies. Our exponential growth sees us looking for extraordinary people to help accelerate us towards our vision: a tomorrow without constraints.

About the Role

In the Finance team, we believe in challenging convention, thinking differently, and never settling for less. The Senior Accounts Payable Manager leads Yondr’s global Accounts Payable function, ensuring accurate, efficient and compliant processing of all supplier invoices, employee expense claims, and vendor payments through Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) and our treasury processes. This role provides leadership across a multi-regional AP team, manages internal and third-party processing capabilities, drives policy adherence, establishes strong financial controls and continuously improves the AP operating model. The Senior AP Manager will partner closely with Procurement, Construction, Operation, Treasury, Finance Systems, FP&A, Project functions, and regional Finance Controllers. You will build on the remit historically delivered through interim AP leadership while helping to shape the future Shared Services model for the organisation.

Main Responsibilities

• AP Leadership & Operations
• Own the end-to-end AP process in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) and ExFlow — invoice capture, coding, matching, approval routing and payment execution.
• Improve AP speed and accuracy by enhancing D365/ExFlow automation, workflow logic, first-time-right submission and PO discipline.
• Ensure “No PO No Pay” compliance, strong data quality and proactive issue resolution.
• Oversee employee expense claims and partner with Treasury on timely reimbursement.
• Stakeholder Partnerships
• Build strong, solution-driven relationships with Construction and Operations, especially on project-related purchasing, goods receipting and dispute resolution.
• Work closely with Procurement, Treasury, Finance Systems, FP&A, and business leads to reduce aged creditors and streamline P2P workflows.
• Act as the primary point of contact for vendors and external AP/GL system consultants.
• People Leadership
• Lead, coach and develop AP teams across regions; promote accountability, consistency and continuous improvement.
• Train the business on PO creation, GR processes, expense compliance and ExFlow usage.
• Ensure correct AP system access for leavers and joiners.
• Controls, Compliance & Reporting
• Maintain and improve AP controls, SOPs, policy documentation and process notes.
• Lead the AP month-end close (accruals, AP journals, reconciliations, system reviews).
• Ensure accurate AP system/ledger reconciliations.
• Support year-end audit and statutory reporting with complete AP schedules and documentation.
• Future Scope – Shared Services Growth Path
• This role is designed to evolve into leading a broader Finance Shared Services function, ultimately taking responsibility for:
• Accounts Receivable (AR): billing, collections, cash allocation, customer account management.
• Bank Reconciliations: transitioning ownership from Treasury into Shared Services and standardising processes.
• Overseeing an integrated team covering AP, AR, expenses and reconciliations, driving global standardisation and automation.

Qualifications and experience

Required

• 10+ years AP experience in a multinational environment.
• 5+ years in an AP Manager / Senior AP Manager role.
• Proven delivery of AP efficiencies and aged-creditor reduction.
• Strong working knowledge of D365 and ExFlow.
• Excellent leadership, communication and organisation skills.

Desirable

• ACA / ACCA / CIMA or a finance/accounting degree.
• Experience in AR, reconciliations or Shared Services.
