This is a varied position sitting between procurement, purchasing and accounts payable, giving you responsibility across the purchasing and supplier payment process.

It would suit someone who enjoys a broad role, working with suppliers and colleagues across the business rather than focusing purely on purchasing or transactional finance.

What you'll be doing

• Coordinating purchasing activity and purchase orders
• Processing and checking supplier invoices
• Matching invoices against purchase orders and goods received
• Investigating and resolving invoice discrepancies
• Liaising with suppliers regarding orders, invoices and payments
• Supporting supplier payment activities
• Maintaining accurate purchasing and supplier records
• Supporting supplier onboarding and ongoing relationships
• Working closely with Finance, Operations and Supply Chain
• Producing reports and monitoring key information
• Supporting month-end activities
• Helping improve purchasing and payment processes

What we're looking for

• Experience within purchasing, procurement or accounts payable
• An understanding of purchase orders and supplier invoices
• Experience using an ERP, finance or purchasing system
• Good Excel skills
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Good communication and supplier-management skills
• the ability to work across different departments and manage competing priorities

A professional qualification such as CIPS or AAT would be advantageous but isn't essential.
