• Processing supplier payments and completing supplier statement reconciliations

We're looking for an AP professional who is comfortable getting stuck into a busy environment and can hit the ground running.

Qualifications

• Strong end-to-end AP experience for at least 2 years or more
• Confidence following up with internal stakeholders and suppliers
• A proactive, problem-solving approach
• Experience with NetSuite is highly advantageous, but not essential
