MECCA’s Finance Team Opportunity

MECCA’s Finance team plays a central role in supporting our continued growth, and we’re looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Manager to lead our accounts payable function and team.

This is an opportunity to combine hands-on operational leadership with people development, stakeholder partnership and continuous improvement, ensuring our suppliers are paid accurately and on time while strengthening the processes and controls that support MECCA as we scale.

The Role You Could Play:

Leading a team of three Accounts Payable Officers, you will oversee MECCA’s end-to-end accounts payable operations and play a key role in delivering an efficient, accurate and customer-focused service. You will:

  • Lead, coach and develop the Accounts Payable team, managing workloads and building a collaborative, accountable and high-performing environment
  • Oversee end-to-end invoice and payment processing, including supplier records, payment cycles, exceptions and vendor queries
  • Manage AP cash forecasting and payment requirements, partnering with Finance and business teams to identify risks and timing changes
  • Own AP month-end and year-end close activities, reconciliations and audit requirements, ensuring accuracy and balance sheet integrity
  • Drive continuous improvement across AP processes, systems and controls while building trusted relationships with internal stakeholders and vendors
  • Support the AP component of the ERP transformation process including data cleansing, migration and change management.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
