Our Team
There are many responsibilities involved in running a business successfully, but maintaining strong control over Accounts Payable is among the most crucial.

In order to be successful, you will need strong attention to detail and be an excellent problem solver. You have the ability to balance high workload yet understand the importance of controls. You have excellent communication and prioritization skills, an ability to present ideas about process improvements and to question the status quo. You thrive in a dynamic, open-plan, team environment, and you know what customer service really means.

We'll trust you to:
  • Maintain Purchase Ledger for Europe, Middle East and Africa regions
  • Ensure invoices scanned into the system are reviewed with accuracy, errors actioned and completed within our established SLAs
  • Ensure invoices are compliant, and that they are allocated to the accurate entity, vendor, department, purchase order (where applicable), and tax code
  • Expertly take care of various internal partners and vendor queries on a timely manner, including responses to payment related issues
  • Maintain a high level of professionalism when providing support/feedback within the Procure to Pay teams and internal/external clients whilst contributing to our objectives
  • Collaborate confidently with a range of people at various levels within the organisation to achieve targets
  • Learn, monitor and handle internal processes at departmental level, troubleshot errors and be accountable to deliver to clients, vendors and management with excellence
  • Actively encourage/reinforce the use of self-servicing options to our internal and external stakeholders
  • Partner with our internal business associates to drive efficiencies in processes

You'll need to have:
  • Bachelor's Degree in accounting, finance, or related field or equivalent experience
  • Invoice processing knowledge
  • Previous work experience with Accounts Payable, minimum 3 years
  • Excellent time management and organizational skills
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to cooperate and collaborate effectively with colleagues
  • Thorough attention to detail, performing all work with high levels of accuracy
  • Experience with an ERP (Oracle/SAP preferred)
  • Knowledge of basic Financial and Accounting terminology
  • Please note we use years of experience as a guide, but we certainly will consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.

We'd love to see:
  • Fluency in a European language
  • Experience with EDI or other automated invoice ingestion/processing channels
  • Collaboration on enterprise wide initiatives
  • Experience of working in a Procure to Pay department

Does this sound like you?
Apply if you think we're a good match. We'll get in touch to let you know what the next steps are.
