Purchase Ledger Manager

We're looking for an experienced and motivated Purchase Ledger Manager to lead our Purchase Ledger team and ensure the efficient delivery of a high-quality accounts payable service. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with strong technical purchase ledger expertise, proven leadership experience and a passion for driving continuous improvement.

You'll be responsible for leading a team of Senior Accounts Assistants, overseeing the end-to-end purchase ledger process and ensuring supplier invoices are processed accurately, payments are made on time and financial controls are maintained. Working closely with colleagues across Finance and the wider organisation, you'll build strong relationships with stakeholders, monitor performance against key performance indicators and identify opportunities to improve processes and ways of working.

What you'll be doing:

  • Leading and developing the Purchase Ledger team, providing coaching, support and regular performance feedback.
  • Overseeing the end-to-end purchase ledger function, ensuring transactions are processed accurately, on time and in line with policies and procedures.
  • Managing supplier payment processes, statement reconciliations and the resolution of supplier queries.
  • Monitoring team performance and producing reports to support service delivery and continuous improvement.
  • Reviewing and improving processes to increase efficiency, strengthen controls and enhance the customer experience.
  • Working collaboratively with Finance colleagues and operational teams to support wider financial reporting and business objectives.

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.
