Senior Accounts Payable Specialist

If you work in Accounts Payable, you'll know there's a fairly big difference between working in AP and actually being good at it.

This job is for someone in the second camp.

This company needs someone who can come in, understand how a busy AP function works, keep on top of the detail and get things done without needing to be chased every five minutes.

You'll report to the Accounts Payable Manager and play an important part in keeping the function running properly.

What you'll be doing:

• Running payments through SAP
• Concur administration and expense approvals
• Managing IDOCs
• Posting direct debits
• Producing daily reports
• Dealing with one-time payment reconciliation and clearing
• Supporting audit requests
• Keeping the AP ledger tidy and making sure controls and procedures are followed
• Working with Finance and other teams across the business to resolve queries
• Maintaining good relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• General housekeeping across the AP function

Who they're looking for:

You don't need to tick every conceivable box, but you should be able to demonstrate most of the following:

• Good experience working within a busy Accounts Payable function
• Experience using SAP, particularly for payment runs
• Experience with Concur would be useful
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to spot when something doesn't look right
• Comfortable working accurately when deadlines are tight
• Organised enough to manage and prioritise your own workload
• A confident communicator who can deal effectively with people across Finance and the wider business
• Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do next
• A practical, positive approach to solving problems

Ultimately, they're looking for someone dependable, switched-on and experienced enough to know what a good AP function looks like.

Someone who'll keep things moving, sort problems when they crop up and make the Accounts Payable Manager's life easier rather than harder.

What's in it for you?

• An annual salary of up to £32k (depending on experience)
• 28 days annual leave
• Flexible working after probation period
• The opportunity to learn and develop
