This role will oversee a small team of AP clerks, ensuring the efficient processing of supplier payments while maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders across our brands.
The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator, able to manage supplier relationships and internal queries while driving process improvements. While you won't be expected to code or process invoices daily, you'll need to have a deep understanding of AP operations and be willing to step in when required.

2. Stakeholder Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with brand finance teams, site managers, and suppliers to ensure smooth AP operations.
3. Process Oversight and Improvement: Oversee invoice approvals, reconciliations, and payment runs, identifying areas for process automation and efficiency gains.
4. Supplier and Query Resolution: Act as a key point of contact for supplier escalations, resolving disputes and ensuring timely payments.
5. Compliance and Controls: Ensure AP processes comply with company policies, accounting standards, and audit requirements.
6. Reporting and Reconciliation: Oversee AP ageing reports, cash flow forecasting, and reconciliations to maintain accurate financial records.
What We're Looking For
1. Proven experience in an AP Manager or Senior AP role within a multi-site or hospitality environment.
2. Strong leadership skills with experience managing and developing a team.
3. Excellent communication and relationship management skills.
4. Ability to be hands-on when needed but also focus on strategy and process improvements.
5. Strong systems knowledge, ideally with experience in finance/ERP software used in hospitality.
6. A problem-solving mindset, with a proactive approach to challenges.
