Gesban is a dedicated professional team who provide and develop effective financial processes, accounting and reporting with independent control to Santander. As our team is expanding, we are looking for an Accounts Payable Supervisor to join our Milton Keynes team on a 6-month Fixed Term Contract.

You’ll play a key role managing a team of Finance Associates, ensuring accounting ledgers are maintained appropriately in a timely manner to facilitate the reporting requirements.

The difference you’ll make:

• Ensuring monthly and quarterly reporting is accurate and is delivered on time across the team
• Providing guidance and advice on accounting issues to the various stakeholders
• Performing required reconciliations on trial balance accounts for all entities under your responsibility to the stipulated deadlines and the resolution of arising differences
• Responding to queries from key stakeholders such as the client, internal/external audit and Group Reporting
• Ensuring up to date process documentation is in place for all key processes under your remit to ensure that there is a full audit trail and robust control infrastructure
• Streamlining processes and supporting a culture within the team of best practice sharing and leveraging of skills

What you’ll bring:

These are the essential requirements you need to be successful in this role:

• AAT or qualified by work experience in accountancy role
• Good experience of leading a small team, specifically in accounts payables
• Track record of improving processes and a desire to work in an environment of continuous improvement
• Great Excel skills and ideally experience of using general ledger and finance systems

It would also be nice for you to have:

• Experience of delivering a high service standard to customers by organising the tasks to respond to client/customer feedback and facilitate improvement activities to continually raise standards
• Ability to work to tight deadlines and to work well under pressure
• A great understanding of accounting, and accounting processes

What else you need to know:

This 6-month Fixed Term role is based in Unity Place – Milton Keynes.

We want our people to thrive at work and home, and also be able to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and to help each other develop. To support this, we offer site-based contracts with a hybrid working pattern and our expected level of attendance in an office is at least 12 days per month (pro-rata for part-time roles).

If you apply for this role in this location, it’s important you consider your travelling distance, time and cost from your home to the office location.

We’re happy to discuss specific working patterns and arrangements within this hybrid approach during the recruitment process.

If you’re interested in this role but with part-time hours or a job-share we would still love to hear from you and discuss these.

At Santander we’re creating a thriving workplace where all colleagues feel they belong and are supported to succeed. We all help to make Santander a workplace that celebrates diversity and attracts, retains and develops the most talented and committed people through living our values of Simple, Personal, and Fair.

As well as salary, we offer a wide range of benefits that you can choose from and tailor to your needs. For part-time / contract roles, your salary, bonus (where eligible) and certain benefits will be prorated to reflect your working hours / contract duration.

• £500 annual cash allowance to spend on our great range of benefits.
• We put 8% of salary into your pension, even if you don’t contribute yourself. We’ll pay in up to 12.5% of salary, if you contribute as well, and you can take some of our contribution in cash if you prefer.
