Job description

The AP Officer will join IMC's Finance team in Sydney, working directly with the AP Supervisor to run accounts payable, payments and settlements across multiple legal entities in various APAC jurisdictions, with multi-currency payments in AUD, USD, HKD, KRW and JPY. The role sits within a lean, two-person AP operations team and plays a critical part in ensuring supplier payments, intercompany settlements and the daily cash movements that keep a trading business running are accurate, controlled and on time. Two near-term priorities shape the role: AP automation, where you will own the exception queue and help tune the process in Workday Financials until most invoices flow straight through; and building resilience into our operations, so payments and settlements run cleanly every day, including when a colleague is away. This is not a shared-services AP role. It is a broad and substantive role from day one in a lean, high-performing team where you will own real outcomes and work closely with the Finance Managers, the Financial Controller and Treasury.

Key responsibilities

• Process supplier invoices end-to-end in Workday, coding to the correct entity, cost centre and GL account, and routing for approval
• Own the AP exception queue, resolving coding, matching and approval exceptions directly with budget owners rather than escalating them
• Handle cross-entity invoices
• Maintain supplier master data and independently verify new or changed supplier bank details before any payment is released
• Respond to supplier queries with remittances; reconcile supplier statements and resolve differences
• Prepare the weekly payment run and daily settlement runs, both EFT and manual payments, with complete supporting documentation for independent review and dual approval
• Prepare intercompany settlements and funding requests across APAC entities, and work through payment differences with the Finance team
• Process tax, statutory and charity payments on instruction from the Finance team, on time and to deadline
• Set up intra-group and onward cash transfers on Treasury's instruction across multiple banks and currencies, and track each one through to settlement
• Investigate returned, rejected or unidentified payments, including SWIFT queries, beneficiary details and correspondent bank issues, and resolve them with the bank
