P2P Transformation Lead
12-Month Interim Contract
Day rate - £350-500 per day
Location: Gillingham, Kent – Hybrid working
We're supporting a fast-growing, complex retail business as they continue an ambitious transformation programme following significant private equity investment. Having approximately 5x turnover growth in 3 years, the business now operates across 11 retail locations with continued expansion planned.
As part of this growth, they're looking to appoint an experienced P2P Transformation Lead to design, strengthen, and professionalise the Purchase-to-Pay function. This is not a traditional Accounts Payable management role; instead, it's a business-critical project focused on reviewing current processes, identifying control weaknesses, and building a scalable P2P framework capable of supporting continued growth.
You'll work closely with Finance, Procurement, IT, Operations, and senior leadership to map existing processes, improve governance, and define how Purchase-to-Pay should operate going forward.
The Role
Reporting directly into senior finance leadership, you'll take ownership of reviewing the end-to-end Purchase-to-Pay lifecycle across the business.
Rather than managing the day-to-day Accounts Payable team, your focus will be on understanding how purchasing currently operates, documenting existing workflows, identifying control gaps, and designing practical improvements that balance operational efficiency with robust financial governance.
Working alongside an existing Business Analyst, you'll help bring together information from multiple stakeholders before creating a clear roadmap for future implementation across systems, processes, approvals, supplier management and governance.
