Our client is one of the world's leading independent renewable energy companies, with a strong international presence across wind, solar, energy storage and other renewable technologies. As the business continues to grow, they are looking for a Swedish-speaking Accounts Payable Clerk to join their Northern European Asset Management Finance team.
The Position
The Northern European Asset Management department provides financial support services across a portfolio of clients owning renewable energy assets, including onshore wind farms, solar farms and energy storage projects.
The Finance team manages more than 200 companies across multiple clients and regions. As an Accounts Payable Clerk, you will work alongside an established Accounts Payable team and report directly to the Accounts Payable & Treasury Manager.

You will be responsible for delivering high-quality Accounts Payable and Treasury support, ensuring invoices are processed accurately, payments are executed correctly and cash management activities are completed within a strong financial control environment.
