We are looking for a proactive and hands-on Accounts Payable Manager to lead the AP function in a fast-paced, multi-site, and multi-brand hospitality business. This role will oversee a small team of AP clerks, ensuring the efficient processing of supplier payments while maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders across our brands.

The ideal candidate will be a confident communicator, able to manage supplier relationships and internal queries while driving process improvements.

• Stakeholder Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with brand finance teams, site managers, and suppliers to ensure smooth AP operations.
• Process Oversight & Improvement: Oversee invoice approvals, reconciliations, and payment runs, identifying areas for process automation and efficiency gains.
• Supplier & Query Resolution: Act as a key point of contact for supplier escalations, resolving disputes and ensuring timely payments.
• Compliance & Controls: Ensure AP processes comply with company policies, accounting standards, and audit requirements.
• Reporting & Reconciliation: Oversee AP ageing reports, cash flow forecasting, and reconciliations to maintain accurate financial records.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in an AP Manager or Senior AP role within a multi-site or hospitality environment.
• Strong leadership skills with experience managing and developing a team.
• Excellent communication and relationship management skills.
• Ability to be hands-on when needed but also focus on strategy and process improvements.
• Strong systems knowledge, ideally with experience in finance/ERP software used in hospitality.
• A problem-solving mindset, with a proactive approach to challenges.
