This is a rare kind of National Accounts Payable role. You'll run the function. You'll be the person suppliers, buyers, warehouse teams and Finance leadership all rely on to get it right and the person trusted to decide when the process itself needs to change.
Built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, our payables function has real scope for someone who wants to bring modern thinking to a traditional discipline this can include automating what should be automated, questioning what doesn't add up, and using every tool available (yes, including AI) to solve problems before they become other people's escalations.
What You’ll Own
End-to-end accuracy and timeliness of national supplier payments, across domestic and international suppliers
The health and integrity of our Microsoft Business Central accounts payable data
Strong, trusted relationships across Finance, buying, inventory and repairs
A continuous improvement agenda. Spotting friction in the process and fixing it, not just flagging it
What You’ll Bring
5+ years’ accounts payable experience in a large, complex organisation
Genuine fluency in payables in an ERP system. Microsoft Business Central experience is a solid advantage, as is SAP, Oracle
Procure-to-pay experience
Sharp Excel skills and a natural comfort navigating systems and data
A track record of improving processes, not just following them
The judgement to balance meticulous accuracy with commercial pragmatism
The confidence to build relationships and influence at every level of the business
The focus to hit payment deadlines and handle the volumes, while simultaneously improving the efficiency of the function
A restless curiosity to ask "why do we do it this way?" more often than you accept the answer
Join our finance team and be a key player
Why This Role
This is a seat at the table, not a seat in a queue. You'll have the autonomy to shape a national function, the technology to back your ideas, and a business that's genuinely investing in its people and platforms for the long term. Add to that a team-oriented Finance team, generous employee discounts that sparkle, and a business you can watch grow because of the work you do.
If you're an experienced Accounts Payable professional who's ready to stop maintaining a process and start owning one, we want to hear from you.
