Job description

Ready to apply your accounts payable expertise in an innovative company where your work truly makes an impact?
If you're an experienced Purchase Ledger Clerk or Accounts Assistant seeking a dynamic and rewarding opportunity, this could be the role you've been waiting for. This isn't just about processing invoices; it's about playing a key role in keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes, where precision counts and your efforts are highly valued.

Join a fast-paced, world-class organisation with a strong global presence and a collaborative culture. As part of a dynamic team, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact, develop your skills, and grow your career with long-term potential and job security. The company fosters a supportive and respectful environment where your ideas are encouraged and your work is recognised.

What will I be doing?

In this role, you'll maintain the purchase ledger function, ensuring that supplier invoices and expenses are accurately coded, approved, and processed. You will monitor the inbox, reconcile supplier statements, and assist with month-end accruals while supporting financial reporting.

Your responsibilities will also include handling new supplier due diligence and processing monthly payment runs to ensure smooth operations. As the go-to person for resolving supplier disputes, you'll demonstrate problem-solving skills and build strong relationships.

About you:

Ideally, you will have at least three years of experience in a similar transactional role and a proven track record of consistently meeting month-end deadlines.

While experience with Oracle is advantageous, it is not a requirement, as training will be provided for candidates with proficiency in other accounting software. A solid understanding of spreadsheets is essential, as Excel is utilised extensively in this role.

You should be highly responsive, able to prioritise effectively, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. We're looking for someone who is eager to learn, adaptable, and committed to contributing to the team's success.

What's in it for me?

You'll enjoy a hybrid working pattern once you've completed your training period, giving you the flexibility to split your time between home and the office. The role offers flexible hours that can be tailored around personal commitments, whether it's the school run or other responsibilities.

In addition, you'll have access to private healthcare and be eligible for an annual performance-based bonus. It's a fantastic opportunity to grow your career while enjoying benefits that truly support life outside of work.

** Please note candidates should be willing to commute to Seaham, as the company will soon be relocating to a newly built, state-of-the-art open-plan office in the area **
