Job description

Account Payable Administrator Burton on Trent 36.5 hrs per week Competitive Salary and benefits

At Marshalls plc, we believe building tomorrow's world starts with what we can create together today. Since the 1890s, we've grown from a Yorkshire stone business into a leading UK manufacturer of building, roofing and landscaping solutions. Built on generations of expertise, we're known for quality, innovation and sustainability, helping our customers bring their vision to life and create places that work today and last for generations. Together, we're building tomorrow's world.

Leading the way in roofing solutions, Marley has innovation at the heart of everything we do. From pioneering concrete roof tiles and introducing the UK's first dry-fix roofing system to developing award-winning roof-integrated solar technology, we're helping customers build with confidence through sustainable roofing solutions while shaping the built environment for future generations.

We're now looking for an Accounts Payable Administrator to join our close knit and vibrant team in Burton-on-Trent.

So, what’s the mission?

Working within our busy Finance function, you'll support the Accounts Payable Manager as part of a stable and experienced team of six. You'll play a key role in ensuring supplier invoices are processed accurately and efficiently, including scanning and inputting purchase ledger invoices, matching invoices to purchase orders, processing credit notes, resolving supplier queries and producing monthly supplier statement reconciliations.

This role offers excellent exposure to a variety of finance activities across different businesses within the Group, providing plenty of variety and the opportunity to broaden your understanding of shared finance operations. You'll also gain hands‑on experience using a range of systems and platforms, including SAP, Esker and Microsoft 365, helping you develop valuable technical and organisational skills in a fast‑paced environment.

Working alongside knowledgeable and supportive colleagues, you'll receive ongoing guidance and development while building a strong foundation in Accounts Payable and finance processes within a leading manufacturing business.

What are the mission-critical skills?

Previous experience working in a busy Accounts Payable, Finance Support or similar transactional finance role would be highly advantageous. Equally, if you have strong customer service skills and are confident communicating with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders, this will provide an excellent foundation to build upon. We're looking for someone who is organised, detail-oriented and comfortable managing multiple priorities, with the ability to build positive relationships and resolve queries effectively.

We can provide training and offer guidance in any technical areas to help you progress your career in finance.

Below are some additional skills that will stand you in good stead:

• The ability to work to deadlines and prioritise a busy workload


• Solid experience of Excel


• Knowledge of SAP or Esker or similar software will be a bonus
