Description
About The Role:

We're looking for a motivated and detail-driven Estates Accounts Payable Team Leader to oversee our Estates AP team, responsible for managing invoices and payments across our diverse property portfolio — including rent, rates, utilities, service charges, and insurance.

This is a pivotal role ensuring suppliers are paid accurately and on time, supporting business stability, and maintaining strong relationships across our network. You'll lead a talented team, driving operational excellence, continuous improvement, and a collaborative, high-performance culture.

What You'll Do

As the Estates Accounts Payable Team Leader, you will:

  • Lead and develop a skilled Accounts Payable team through daily guidance, mentoring, and one-to-one support.

  • Oversee end-to-end AP operations, from invoice receipt to payment approval, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery.

  • Manage workloads and priorities to meet strict monthly and quarterly deadlines.

  • Resolve complex queries and act as the primary escalation point for system or process issues.

  • Drive process improvement, identifying opportunities for automation, efficiency, and quality control.

  • Monitor performance metrics (KPIs) and service levels, delivering reports and action plans to maintain excellence.

  • Ensure compliance with all relevant policies and regulations, including VAT and CIS where applicable.

  • Support month-end close by reviewing reconciliations, producing reports, and ensuring accurate data.

  • Champion customer service excellence, ensuring prompt, professional handling of all internal and external queries.

About You:

We're seeking a proactive and people-focused leader with:

  • Proven experience in Accounts Payable (ideally within Estates, Property or high-volume environments).

  • Strong team leadership skills — capable of inspiring, coaching, and developing others.

  • Excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to managing complex processes.

  • A problem-solving mindset, able to handle challenges calmly and effectively.

  • Confidence in communicating with stakeholders at all levels and managing supplier relationships.

  • The ability to adapt to change, manage pressure, and maintain accuracy under tight deadlines.
