The Role

We are seeking a highly organised and detail-oriented Senior Accounts Payable & Receivable Specialist to join our Finance team, on an initial 6-month fixed-term contract, with the opportunity to transition into a permanent role. Reporting to the Finance Operations Manager, you'll be at the heart of our Finance Operations team, taking ownership of core Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable processes while supporting month-end close and helping drive operational excellence across the function. This is an exciting time to join the team. Alongside the day-to-day finance operations, we're transforming our Procure-to-Pay (P2P) processes through AI driven automation and systems improvements.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, working collaboratively, and seeing tasks through to completion. You'll thrive in this role if you enjoy working in a fast-moving environment where priorities evolve, no two days are the same, and you'll have the opportunity to build, improve, and influence how Finance operates.
