Accounts Payable Team Leader
Your new company
Our client is recruiting for an Accounts Payable Team Leader to join their team on a permanent basis. The hours of work are Monday–Friday 9am–5pm. The organisation offers hybrid working after probation (3 months) with 3 days in office and 2 days from home. The organisation is based in Inverclyde and can be easily accessed by public transport and there is also on-site parking.
Your new role
As Accounts Payable Team Lead, you will assist in managing a team of AP Analysts, setting clear goals and priorities to ensure timely and accurate invoice processing. You’ll oversee payment runs, maintain robust internal controls, and partner with suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve issues and optimise processes. A key part of your role will involve driving the adoption of AP automation tools and using data and KPIs to monitor performance and deliver continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and motivating the team to achieve daily, weekly, and monthly targets.
- Overseeing payment schedules and ensuring compliance with internal controls.
- Partnering with suppliers and internal teams to reduce exceptions and improve system adoption.
- Monitoring touchless processing rates and reporting on key metrics.
- Supporting system enhancements and finance transformation initiatives.
What you'll need to succeed
3–5 years’ experience in Accounts Payable is ideal, alongside a strong knowledge of AP automation tools and proven ability to manage stakeholders and vendors effectively. Experience in assisting with process improvements and maintaining compliance would be highly advantageous, as would staff supervisory experience. What you'll get in return
You’ll join a collaborative and forward-thinking team in a hybrid working environment (once probation is passed), with opportunities to contribute to global finance transformation projects. Competitive salary and benefits are on offer, along with the chance to make a real impact in a dynamic organisation.
