This ASX listed business is one of the most recognisable names in Australian corporate life, with a national footprint spanning hundreds of locations and operations extending into New Zealand and globally.
It runs like a sophisticated corporate organisation, not the operational business it sits behind, and the Newstead head office reflects that: modern, professional and well-resourced.
The finance function supporting this business is substantial, well-structured and actively evolving.
The Finance Transformation team this role sits within is focused on driving automation, process improvement and efficiency across the AP function at scale, which means this is not simply a transactional processing seat.
There is genuine exposure to how large-scale finance operations are being reshaped.
The Role
Reporting to the Finance Transformation Manager, the Accounts Payable Officer is responsible for processing and managing AP across a high-volume corporate environment, with a vendor portfolio of approximately 1 to 20 vendors at any one time.
The role covers capital works invoicing, IT bills, corporate department payments including payroll and subscriptions, and charitable payments through the business foundation during peak periods.
It also involves managing automation initiatives, routing invoices correctly, onboarding and verifying new vendors, managing the AP inbox and liaising with vendors and internal stakeholders by phone and email.
There is a routine administrative component alongside the core AP work, and the right person will take ownership of both without distinction.
Duties will include, but not be limited to:




Processing capital works invoices and high-volume AP across the corporate environment
Managing IT bills and corporate department payments including payroll, subscriptions and company initiatives
Supporting automation initiatives including routing invoices to the right people and contributing to the evolution of the automated AP system
Managing and monitoring the AP inbox, triaging and actioning incoming requests efficiently
Onboarding and verifying new vendors including information gathering and detail checking
Calling vendors and liaising with internal and external contacts to resolve queries and discrepancies
Providing accounts receivable support as required, including some joint venture charge processing
Processing charitable payments through the business foundation during busy periods
Completing routine administrative tasks alongside core AP responsibilities
Maintaining clean, accurate AP records and contributing to data entry across systems
About You
You are someone who takes genuine pride in accurate, productive AP work.
You do not need the role to be glamorous.
You need it to be well-run, busy and part of something that matters, and you bring the same standard to the repetitive parts of the job as you do to the more involved ones.
You are comfortable on the phone,



confident dealing with vendors and internal stakeholders at different levels, and you do not let queries sit unresolved.
You manage your inbox, process what needs to be processed and communicate clearly when something needs attention.
A good attitude and a willingness to get involved in whatever the team needs will take you a long way here.
Skills & Experience
To be effective in this role, you will likely bring:
Solid experience in an accounts payable role, with a track record of accurate, high-quality work
Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to getting it right the first time
Comfort with high-volume transactional processing and automated AP systems
Confidence communicating by phone and email with vendors and internal stakeholders
Administration experience that complements the AP background
A positive, ownership-focused approach to both the routine and the more varied parts of the role
Experience with finance transformation, process improvement or AP automation will be well regarded, though not essential.
What's On Offer
A seat inside the Finance Transformation team of a major ASX 100 business, with genuine exposure to automation and process improvement at scale
A modern, professional Newstead head office inside one of Australia's largest and most recognisable corporate groups
Flexible working arrangements including 3 days WFH per fortnight, with a 4-day week considered for the right candidate
A salary of up to $75,000 plus super, aligned to the experience and capability you bring
