About the Role
If you work in Accounts Payable, you'll know there's a fairly big difference between working in AP and actually being good at it. This job is for someone in the second camp.
This company needs someone who can come in, understand how a busy AP function works, keep on top of the detail and get things done without needing to be chased every five minutes. You'll report to the Accounts Payable Manager and play an important part in keeping the function running properly.
What you'll be doing:
- Running payments through SAP
- Concur administration and expense approvals
- Managing IDOCs
- Posting direct debits
- Producing daily reports
- Dealing with one-time payment reconciliation and clearing
- Supporting audit requests
- Keeping the AP ledger tidy and making sure controls and procedures are followed
- Working with Finance and other teams across the business to resolve queries
- Maintaining good relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- General housekeeping across the AP function
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.
