Accounts Payable Lead
Perth CBD | Monday to Friday, in office | Permanent | Full-time, part-time considered
Circa $110,000 plus super, depending on experience
Lead the AP function for a producer that's just restarted
Small, accessible finance team in the Perth CBD
Most AP roles give you one slice of the process.
This one hands you the whole function to lead, at the moment it matters most.
Core Lithium has taken Finniss from care and maintenance back to production in a matter of months.
With the restart fully funded, first concentrate produced and first shipments on the way, our small Perth team is building the systems and disciplines of an ASX-listed producer.
Finance at Core is no longer a care and maintenance function.
As mining, processing and construction ramp up at Finniss, invoice and supplier volumes are climbing fast, and accounts payable sits right in the middle of it.
You'll be part of a small team where your work is visible and your ideas get heard.
WHY THIS JOB IS EXCELLENT
Circa $110,000 plus superannuation, depending on experience (pro rata for part-time)
Full-time preferred, with part-time hours genuinely considered (tell us what works for you)
Leadership of the full AP function, not a single step in someone else's process
A company in a defining year, with real scope to improve how AP and purchasing work in Pronto
Monday to Friday in our St Georges Terrace office, close to the team and the people you support
