Senior Accounts Payable Officer - Watford (Hybrid)

I'm working with a leading business in the Watford area that's looking to add a Senior Accounts Payable Officer to its growing Finance Operations team.
This is a great opportunity for someone with solid Accounts Payable / P2P experience who enjoys improving processes, working with systems, and getting involved in wider finance projects - not just day-to-day invoice processing.
You'll be part of a large, well-structured finance function that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement. The role offers hybrid working (typically 2-3 days in the office), excellent benefits, and genuine development opportunities.
The Role
Reporting to the AP Manager, you'll play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of the purchase-to-pay process - supporting the team with everything from invoice processing and reconciliations to KPI reporting and system improvements.
Key responsibilities include:
* Processing and validating supplier invoices, ensuring accurate coding, matching and approval.
* Managing supplier queries and supporting the shared AP mailbox.
* Assisting with weekly payment runs, reconciliations, and month-end close activities.
* Analysing KPI data to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
* Supporting system and process enhancements to drive efficiency.
* Liaising closely with procurement and finance teams to resolve queries.
* Contributing to process improvement initiatives across the wider finance operations team.
The Person
You'll need to be organised, proactive, and confident managing multiple priorities. Someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems, and working with data and systems.
What we're looking for:
* 3+ years' experience in Accounts Payable or Purchase to Pay.
* Strong understanding of the end-to-end P2P process and controls.
* Experience in a high-volume environment (ideally large or complex business).
* Confident using SAP or a similar ERP system.
* Advanced Excel skills.
* Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
* A positive, collaborative mindset and interest in continuous improvement.
The Package
* Salary: £35,000-£36,000
* Hybrid working (2-3 days office-based)
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Bonus scheme
* Private medical cover
* Plus more
