Are you an Accounts Payable expert? Ready to get stuck into a high-impact role where your skills will make an immediate difference? We're looking for someone with serious AP experience to support a leading property business through a key transitional period - this is not your everyday processing role. If you're confident with complex invoice queries, thrive in fast-paced environments, and have experience with both PO and Non-PO invoicing - this could be the perfect challenge for you. What's the role? The business is currently navigating a critical post-go-live phase following a new system implementation. While the new invoice automation tool is handling around 65% of the volume, the remaining manual workload is causing significant backlog. You'll be brought in to focus on clearing these backlog items and supporting the business with streamlining and improving their AP processes. This is an initial 3-6 month temporary contract , but with the scale of the project and ongoing improvements needed, it's very likely to extend - and there's even potential for the right person to go permanent down the line. Key Responsibilities: Processing high volumes of PO and Non-PO invoices Taking ownership of manual transactions, particularly Council Tax and Utility-based invoices Investigating and resolving complex invoice queries Identifying and supporting process improvement across the AP function Liaising with key stakeholders to ensure smooth invoice flow and resolution Working as part of a dedicated temp team, brought in specifically to support the post-go-live recovery plan What experience do you need? Proven experience in Accounts Payable within a Shared Service Centre or large, fast-paced organisation Confident with both PO and Non-PO invoice processing Strong experience with invoice query resolution High volume processing background Council Tax and Utilities invoice experience - ideal but not essential Comfortable with change, process improvement, and troubleshooting The details: Start date: ASAP - must be immediately available Contract length: 3-6 months initially, with high likelihood of extension or permanency Industry: Property At Gleeson Recruitment Group, we embrace inclusivity and welcome applicants of all backgrounds, experiences, and abilities. We are proud to be a disability confident employer. By applying you will be registered as a candidate with Gleeson Recruitment Limited.
