The position comes with a salary of £30,000 - £33,000 per annum, and hybrid working - with 2-3 days per week required in the office.

Applicants must have strong experience in a high-volume Accounts Payable role as the position involves processing over 100 invoices per day. Candidates should also have strong experience with using a Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) system.
