Job description

The Company

We are Centrick-a team of driven property experts united by a simple goal: to make customers' lives better every day. With a growing national presence, we manage buildings and estates of all shapes and sizes, ensuring residents enjoy a peaceful and secure home.

We're all about people-professional, friendly, and always up for working closely with our teams, clients, and customers. Every step we take is about building up our people or enhancing our business. That's why we reinvest our profits back into our team, cutting-edge tech, and the future of Centrick!

We take pride in the service we provide as well as building a collaborative culture internally.

So, who are we looking for?

We're looking for a proactive and detail-driven Accounts Payable Team Leader to join our fast-paced Property Management business. In this key leadership role, you'll be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the accounts payable function-managing high-volume invoice processing across multiple legal entities, coordinating complex payment runs, and taking ownership of critical manual payment processes.

As the primary contact for internal stakeholders, suppliers, and subcontractors, you'll play a vital role in maintaining strong relationships and ensuring financial accuracy and compliance. You'll lead a small, dedicated team, driving performance, delivering training, and promoting a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

If you're looking to step into a role where your leadership will directly influence operational efficiency and financial integrity, we'd love to hear from you.

And what will you be doing?

No two days are the same but the below gives you a flavour for some of the tasks you'd typically be involved with. Even if you can't tick everything off from the list below but think you've got what it takes, we'd be keen for you to apply:

  • Lead and mentor a small team of Accounts Payable Assistants, ensuring targets and KPIs are met
  • Provide day-to-day support, training, and performance management
  • Maintain a strong culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • The trusted contact for all payment and purchase invoice queries, ensuring all checks are performed accurately, liaising with internal stakeholders and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers
  • This includes overseeing payment runs, authorising corrections that are carried out by the team and organising urgent manual payments
  • Solely responsible for manual payments -correct approvals and information is in place before payments are made, following strict procedures and deadlines
  • Dealing with supplier/subcontractor queries which includes managing multiple email accounts and handling telephone calls
  • Dedicated to mentoring and supporting colleagues, promoting strong relationships across all business departments and serving as a trusted point of contact for guidance and problem-solving
  • Provide training and support for team members and the wider business, holding in person and online training sessions with supporting documentation
  • Processing high volumes of invoices across multiple legal entities
  • Verifying CIS suppliers and CIS submissions with HMRC and dealing with queries and regulatory audits
What's in it for you?

Not only will you have access to all of the below rewards & benefits, but you'll enjoy access to Centrick Academy, our learning platform, as well as having the opportunity to undertake industry qualifications and further your professional development.
