  * Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers

  * Ensure compliance with financial controls, company policies, and audit requirements

  * Identify and implement opportunities for process standardisation and efficiency gains across multiple locations

Key Skills & Experience:

  * Proven experience in an Accounts Payable Manager or Senior AP Supervisor role

  * Strong leadership experience, including managing both onshore and offshore/shared service teams

  * Experience within a large, complex, or multi-site organisation (facilities management, construction, or similar sectors desirable)

  * Strong understanding of AP processes, controls, and systems

  * Exposure to finance transformation, process improvement, or shared service environments

  * Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

  * Confident, hands-on approach with the ability to manage competing priorities
