o Vendor account management and reconciliations
o Month-end and year-end reporting and support
* Ensure compliance with internal controls and financial procedures.
* Be the escalation point for complex or sensitive AP issues.

Essential:
* Solid experience in a supervisory AP role within a high-volume environment
* End-to-end knowledge of AP processes
* Calm under pressure and able to manage challenging conversations with confidence
* Proven ability to coach and develop team members
* Background working within a larger business structure
* Self-driven, proactive, and forward-thinking mindset
Desirable:
* Experience supporting the transition to automated AP systems
* Strong systems knowledge and advanced Excel skills
🧠 Key skills & attributes:
* Natural leader with strong interpersonal skills
* Strong problem-solving ability
* Excellent time management and organisational skills

💥 What's in it for you?
* Competitive salary and hybrid working (split between home and office)
* Generous pension scheme and access to Employee Assistance Programme
* Continuous learning via internal training and development platforms
* Access to salary sacrifice benefits - including additional holidays, cycle-to-work scheme, and more
* Death-in-service cover
* Access to exclusive retail and lifestyle discounts
* Early Friday finish every second week - because work/life balance matters
