Lead an Established Accounts Payable Team
Lead an established Accounts Payable team in a successful, financially strong business where people, process, and continuous improvement matter. You'll be joining a stable, successful business that values its people and invests in their development. We believe great leaders create great teams, so we'll give you the autonomy, support, and opportunities needed to make a real impact.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Accounts Payable professional who enjoys developing people as much as they enjoy managing ledgers. You'll lead a capable, supportive team, driving consistency, accuracy, and service excellence while creating an environment where people can perform at their best and truly make a difference.
Key Responsibilities
- Leading, motivating, and developing an established Accounts Payable team.
- Creating a positive, engaged, and motivating team culture.
- Ensuring consistency, accuracy, and compliance across Purchase Ledger and Subcontract Ledger activities.
- Managing workloads, priorities, and performance to ensure excellent service delivery and set expectations.
- Supporting the timely processing of high-volume invoices and month-end activities.
- Building positive relationships with suppliers and colleagues across the business to achieve required timeframes.
- Overseeing CIS compliance and monthly HMRC submissions.
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, strengthen controls, and increase efficiency.
- Coaching team members to support their development and long-term success.
