Accounts Payable Supervisor - Standalone Start-to-Finish Role
This is a rare opportunity to step into a business at a pivotal moment and truly make a role your own. This growing organisation is investing in strengthening its finance function and is looking for an experienced Accounts Payable professional to take full ownership of the purchase-to-pay process. If you love autonomy, thrive on building structure, and want a role where your impact is visible from day one - this one is special.
You'll be the go-to person for Accounts Payable, managing the process end-to-end from procurement through to invoice payment. This is not a role where you follow an existing playbook - you'll be creating it. You'll design processes, implement controls, and shape how this function operates long-term. Initially joining on a temporary basis due to an urgent backlog, the business has a clear long-term need for this position and intends to make it permanent. This role is ideal for someone immediately available or on a short notice period.
Key Responsibilities:
- Taking full ownership of the end-to-end Accounts Payable process, from purchase order creation through to payment
- Processing invoices and matching to purchase orders, ensuring accuracy and compliance
- Embedding robust purchase-to-pay controls and safe working practices
- Identifying process gaps and implementing improved procedures and structure
- Managing invoice queries and supplier communications
- Supporting the business through a period of restructuring by creating stability within Accounts Payable
- Building a scalable function with the potential to grow into a wider team
- Clearing an existing backlog while creating long-term sustainable processes
Candidate Attributes and Skills:
- Proven experience in a start-to-finish Accounts Payable role
- Confident working autonomously and holding your own in a standalone position
- Strong understanding of why purchase-to-pay processes matter, not just how to complete them
- Comfortable entering a fast-paced environment and hitting the ground running
- Motivated by creating structure, improving processes, and building something from the ground up
Benefits:
- Hybrid working pattern
- Opportunity to design and shape an Accounts Payable function from scratch
- Temporary to permanent role with long-term security
- Join a growing business where your contribution will be highly visible
Summary:
If you're an experienced Accounts Payable professional who wants autonomy, ownership, and the chance to build a function your way, this is an exciting challenge with real long-term potential.
