🧮 Accounts Payable Supervisor
📍 Brighton
💷 £40,000
🏡 2 days per week in the office
We at Alexander Lloyd are proud to be partnering a fast growing, hugely successful international business in Brighton on a key hire. They are looking for an Accounts Payable Supervisor to take ownership of the purchase to pay process across all group entities. Reporting to the Finance Manager, this role works closely with the wider finance team.
The Role
It is a hands-on role. You will own the day-to-day AP operation, from invoice processing and supplier queries through to payment runs and reconciliations, and you will be the go-to person for anything AP related across the business.
The second half of the role is improving how it all works. The business already runs a modern AP stack with Tipalti, Spendesk, and NetSuite, so you will be looking for ways to automate more, strengthen controls, and streamline the purchase-to-pay process.
