Are you a hands-on team leader with a knack for problem-solving and process improvement? We're looking for a proactive and experienced PO & Project Coordinator / AP Team Lead to join our dynamic team in Reading.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Leading and managing a team of ~6 coordinators – setting direction, driving performance, and resolving conflicts effectively.

• Championing the adoption of new tools and improvements in process and workflow efficiency.

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in team leadership – performance management, conflict resolution, and direction-setting.
• A “doer” mentality – not afraid to roll up your sleeves and handle high-volume PO activity directly.
• Experience in accounts payable or similar roles with exposure to queue management and fast-paced environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to thrive in ambiguous, evolving settings.
• Excellent communication and customer-facing skills – comfortable liaising with stakeholders across the business.

Ideal Background:

• AP Team Lead or similar role with high-volume, transactional process ownership.
• Experience handling a significant number of Purchase Orders
• Customer facing - will be dealing with suppliers as well as internal staff
• Demonstrated experience in process improvement and change adoption.
• Telecoms experience is a plus but not required.

If you're ready to lead from the front, drive change, and support a busy and fast-moving team – we’d love to hear from you!
