The organisation has a large headcount operating across multiple locations and is highly regarded for its structured and nurturing environment, offering great career development for those that seek it. The business currently seeks to recruit an Accounts Payable Manager to join their finance function, a permanent, full-time role that will be predominantly site-based but with hybrid working/flexibility where required. Supported by a highly experienced (and very friendly) CFO, the successful candidate will assume operational management of the Purchase Ledger function, supporting and mentoring a team of two transactional AP Clerks.

Work closely with the senior finance team offering commentary on AP activity and potential process improvements. The position calls for an individual with extensive purchase ledger experience, ideally gained in a high transaction volume environment. Previous experience in a supervisory role would be advantageous but not essential for a candidate with an aptitude for team management and support. Candidates may be part/full AAT or QBE (the company may support ongoing studies for those that require). It is essential that the successful candidates possess sound experience in the use of MS Excel and a good understanding of general accounting principles and financial controls. The role works as part of a friendly and energetic team who have developed an efficient function that relies on teamwork, so excellent communication and interpersonal skills will be essential.
