Join a growing Finance team supporting UK Defence
VIVO is a 50:50 joint venture between Serco and ENGIE, delivering infrastructure, asset and facilities management services across the UK Defence sector. With a business currently worth around £800m per year and ambitious plans for further growth, this is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a P2P Administrator.
Based around Birmingham and working from home, the role will sit within our Accounts Payable (AP) team, supporting the processing and management of invoices and ensuring queries are resolved promptly and accurately. Working as part of an established team of around 15 people, this is a great opportunity for an experienced administrator to make a real contribution during an exciting period of growth.
What will you be doing?
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- You will be responsible for processing subcontractor and vendor invoices, checking costs against agreed rates and ensuring payment requests are accurately recorded. A key part of the role will be dealing with invoice and payment queries, working closely with both internal and external stakeholders to investigate issues and reach effective solutions.
- You will use SAP and Microsoft Excel regularly to manage information, investigate anomalies, maintain accurate records and prepare reports. Experience using both systems is highly desirable, particularly within an Accounts Payable, P2P, finance or commercial administration environment.
- The role will also involve supporting the wider team with cost allocation, identifying and correcting discrepancies, maintaining electronic filing systems and assisting with ad-hoc P2P activities. There will be opportunities to help identify recurring issues and contribute to improvements that make our processes more efficient.
What are we looking for?
- We are looking for an experienced administrator who is confident working with invoices, financial information and queries. Strong attention to detail is essential, alongside good communication skills and the ability to build effective working relationships with internal colleagues, suppliers and other stakeholders.
- Experience with SAP and Excel is highly desirable, but formal qualifications are not required. What matters most is practical experience, a willingness to learn and the ability to work accurately and independently.
- As this is a home-based position, the successful candidate will need to be self-motivated, organised and comfortable managing their own workload without direct supervision. Previous experience of working from home would be advantageous. At the same time, this is very much a team environment, with a well-established team of around 15 colleagues providing support and collaboration.
