  • Lead a key element of the purchase to pay process
  • Create and execute a roadmap to drive improved systems, processes and team engagement
  • Work collaboratively with other parts of the business to improve P2P processes and introduce best practice across all areas of the business
  • Optimise net working capital by improving payment terms, the utilisation of EPD and payment methods
  • Improve understanding and perception of the AP process and function across Softcat
  • Developing relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders
  • Introducing technology and automation (Invoice scanning, internal requisitions etc)
  • Improving controls around the payment process
  • Understand implications on other teams like financial reporting and treasury
We'd love you to have
  • An experienced manager of large teams
  • Confidence to challenge, change and improve
  • Collaborative, proactive, and professional approach
  • Ability to understand the challenges of multiple parties and find single, effective solutions.
  • Experience of good control frameworks and working in large organisations
  • A strong desire to improve systems and processes
  • A drive to succeed and progress
