Accounts Payable Manager
Job Posted: 9 hours ago

Job Type: Permanent
Location: Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire
Expire in: a month
Job Description
You've managed AP teams before. Now it's time to shape the function.
This role isn't about treading water. It's about improving what works and fixing what doesn't, and doing so with the backing of Senior Management who want someone who thinks critically, not just ticks boxes.
You'll be leading the Accounts Payable function for a large, group-wide business, not a small, siloed unit. This means you'll be overseeing the full purchase-to-pay process, working closely with procurement and other departments, and making sure controls and processes aren't just followed, but actually make sense.
The team's capable. The systems are sound. But there's scope for better consistency, better reporting, and better insight across the AP function. That's where you come in.
You'll be doing things like:
Managing and motivating an experienced AP team, making sure the day-to-day runs like clockwork
Overseeing the full AP cycle, from invoice input through to payment
Supporting monthly GRNI reviews and intercompany reconciliations
Training staff, spotting inefficiencies, and tightening up the way procurement and AP interact
Reporting on KPIs, identifying issues before they become problems, and recommending practical fixes
Acting as the link between Finance, Procurement and the wider business, ensuring AP adds value, not just transactionsWhat you'll bring:
This isn't a first-time manager role. You've probably spent a few years running the AP function in a Shared Services Centre, or in a large, multi-management entity business. You've led people, improved systems, and you're confident around reporting, controls, and processes.
What really matters here is your ability to manage, not just the work, but the people doing it. You know how to motivate a team, develop individuals, and get the best out of them. You bring structure, consistency, and clarity, even when priorities shift.
You'll also be someone who enjoys solving problems. Who spots where things don't quite add up and isn't afraid to ask 'why'. And who can bring people with them when change is needed.
Location & Flexibility
The role is based at the office in Teesside. Hybrid working is available, typically 3 days onsite, 2 from home.
What's in it for you?
Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
25 days holiday
Group private pension scheme
