  • Act as the key finance business partner for brand leaders and site managers, providing critical support and resolving complex payment-related queries.
  • Champion the evolution of the AP function by identifying and implementing opportunities for process automation and efficiency gains.
  • Manage complex supplier escalations and negotiations, safeguarding the company's reputation and ensuring supply chain stability.
  • Oversee all payment runs, invoice approvals, and reconciliations, ensuring strict adherence to company policy and audit requirements.
  • Manage AP ageing reports and contribute to cash flow forecasting, maintaining impeccable financial records.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in an AP Manager or Senior AP role within a multi-site or hospitality environment.
  • Strong leadership skills with experience managing and developing a team.
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills.
  • Ability to be hands-on when needed but also focus on strategy and process improvements.
  • Strong systems knowledge, ideally with experience in finance/ERP software used in hospitality.
  • A problem-solving mindset, with a proactive approach to challenges.
