Dr. Martens is more than a brand - it’s a global icon with over 60 years of attitude, heritage, and cultural impact. We’re a thriving, values‑driven business powered by diverse thinkers, bold doers, and people who bring their whole selves to work. If you’re ready to make your mark, you’re in the right place.

At DM, our values guide everything we do: Be Yourself, Act Courageously, Show You Care. They’re not just words - they’re how we turn passion into progress.

WHERE YOU SIT

As our Accounts Payable Assistant, you’ll be part of the Finance team working closely with brilliant people across the business and reporting into Accounts Payable Team Leader. You’ll be right at the heart of fast‑moving projects that shape how we show up for our consumers - today and tomorrow.

WHERE YOU CONTRIBUTE

You own and manage a selection of EMEA supplier accounts and execute the end‑to‑end Accounts Payable (AP) cycle: accurate invoice processing, expense handling, supplier statement reconciliations, and clearing aged transactions. You keep the pending invoices log current, produce ad‑hoc reports, and support the AP team to improve process control and efficiency.

By delivering reliable, on‑time payments, clean ledgers, and right‑first‑time postings, you enable a resilient supply base and smooth operations, which ultimately support our consumer‑first agenda (great products available, on time) and our growth ambitions through operational excellence and cost discipline.

CORE ACCOUNTABILITIES

As our Accounts Payable Assistant, you will be responsible for:

• Managing end-to-end invoice processing, accurately processing supplier invoices, maintaining supplier accounts, completing reconciliations and ensuring timely, compliant payment activities across multiple entities and currencies.
• Maintaining financial accuracy and controls, applying Accounts Payable policies, approval processes and data quality standards while supporting audits, resolving discrepancies and ensuring accurate financial records.
• Supporting employee expenses and reporting, processing employee expense claims, maintaining pending invoice logs and producing timely reports that highlight risks, aged items and operational performance.
• Driving operational efficiency and continuous improvement, proactively resolving issues, identifying process improvements and automation opportunities, and helping streamline Accounts Payable processes to improve accuracy, efficiency and cost effectiveness.
• Collaborating across Finance and the wider business, providing support across EMEA entities, partnering with Finance, Supply Chain and market teams, and ensuring effective communication to maintain smooth Accounts Payable operations.

KEY SKILLS & CAPABILITIES

Put simply, the key things we’re looking for are:

• Strong Accounts Payable expertise, with experience processing invoices, maintaining supplier accounts, performing reconciliations and applying robust AP controls within a multi‑entity, multi‑currency environment.
• Strong systems and analytical capability, confident using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Excel to manage financial data, reconcile accounts and maintain accurate, audit‑ready records.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail, able to prioritise workloads, manage competing deadlines and consistently deliver accurate, high‑quality work.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, building positive relationships with suppliers and internal stakeholders while working effectively across Finance and the wider business.
• A continuous improvement mindset, embracing standardised ways of working, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and supporting a scalable, consumer‑first finance operation.
