Description:
Wythall | Hybrid Working | Salary: up to £28,000
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a growing retail business during a significant period of expansion and transformation. Following a recent acquisition, the business is continuing to invest heavily into its finance function and is building out a larger shared service centre operation to support multiple locations across the UK. As a result, the team is now looking to recruit experienced Accounts Payable professionals who enjoy working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
This role would suit someone who enjoys the problem-solving side of Accounts Payable just as much as the processing itself. Strong communication and query resolution skills are essential, as you’ll be managing supplier relationships, resolving issues efficiently and helping to ensure payments are made on time. The business is looking for individuals with a proactive attitude, strong systems confidence and the willingness to take ownership and find solutions. Please note, the office location is not easily accessible via public transport, therefore candidates will ideally need access to their own vehicle.
What you will be doing
* Processing high volumes of invoices and credits accurately and efficiently
* Managing supplier queries and resolving issues in a timely and professional manner
* Working closely with internal teams and suppliers to maintain smooth payment processes
* Chasing outstanding credit notes, PODs and GRNs where required
* Ensuring invoices are approved and processed in line with payment deadlines
* Supporting supplier statement reconciliations and ad hoc payment runs
* Using finance systems and Microsoft Excel to manage and maintain accurate records
* Helping to prevent supply disruptions by proactively managing payment and query issues
* Working collaboratively across the wider finance team to support workload demands
* Assisting with additional finance and head office support tasks where required
What we need from you
* Previous experience within an Accounts Payable or Purchase Ledger environment
* Strong query resolution skills and confidence communicating with suppliers
* Good working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and finance systems
* A proactive mindset with the confidence to learn and solve problems independently
* Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage a busy workload
* A positive, team-focused attitude and strong communication skills
* Access to your own vehicle due to office location and limited public transport links
Benefits
* Hybrid working environment
* Excellent opportunities for progression and long-term career development
* Bonus scheme
* Enhanced pension and healthcare support
* Retail and leisure discounts
* Enhanced family leave and holiday buy scheme
* Wellbeing support and employee assistance programme
If you are an experienced Accounts Payable professional looking to join a growing business where you can genuinely develop your career, we would love to hear from you.
