If you're looking for more than just a job, this is a place where your voice is heard, your wellbeing matters, and your growth is genuinely supported. You'll be part of a fast-paced, people-first environment that values collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. The culture is inclusive, friendly, and supportive, with a real focus on health, safety, and being your best every day. Whether you're starting out or ready to take the next step, this is a team where you can thrive and feel proud of the work you do.

Job Description

Are you an experienced AP leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves developing people as much as delivering results? This is a brilliant opportunity to step into a key leadership role where you'll jointly manage a team of 27 Accounts Payable and Corporate Card Advisors. You'll be responsible for keeping things running smoothly day-to-day—from making sure invoices are processed accurately and on time, to supporting your team's development and spotting opportunities for continuous improvement. If you're confident balancing operational detail with big-picture thinking, this role gives you the scope and support to really make your mark.

What you'll be doing:

* Overseeing daily operations and workload management across AP and Corporate Card teams
* Leading weekly supplier account reviews and resolving escalations (e.g., final demand letters)
* Ensuring timely and accurate processing of invoices, credit/debit notes, and reconciliation of accounts
* Managing overdue invoices through regular ledger reviews and reporting
* Ensuring VAT is correctly applied and accounted for
* Liaising with Master Data to maintain accurate supplier records
* Supporting the wider business with P2P queries
* Preparing and reviewing payment runs for approval
* Delivering KPI reporting and analysis across AP and Corporate Card spend
* Coaching and supporting your team with regular 1-2-1s, performance reviews, and training

The Successful Applicant

We're looking for a confident and capable leader who knows what it takes to keep a large Accounts Payable function running smoothly. You'll have a sharp eye for process, a calm head when things get busy, and a natural ability to support, guide, and motivate your team.

To be successful in this role, you'll bring:

* Proven experience leading people within a high-volume Accounts Payable environment
* A solid understanding of end-to-end Purchase to Pay processes, including PO and 3-way matching
* Hands-on experience with ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft D365
* Excellent communication skills—you are clear, approachable, and proactive with your team and stakeholders

It's a bonus if you also have:

* Experience with invoice automation tools like OCR or auto-capture systems

What's on Offer

You'll be joining a supportive, people-first business that genuinely values collaboration, accountability, and continuous growth. The culture is inclusive, fast-paced, and friendly, with wellbeing and development high on the agenda. Whether you're looking to build on your leadership skills or take the next step in your AP career, this is a role where you'll be empowered to succeed—and be proud of the work you do.
