When you join us, you enter a fun working environment with opportunities to learn, to grow and make a real difference. Small enough that your impact’s felt in the business, but big enough that your impact reaches millions of people.

Our Finance Continuous Improvement team is involved in delivering key business change initiatives. Working closely with both our Finance Operations team and Tech teams, our GPOs ensure that our processes run efficiently and meet the requirements of our business.

Role

The role..

We’re seeking a highly motivated and analytical P2P Process Analyst to join our Global Process Ownership team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This role is ideal for someone with deep expertise in Purchase to Pay (P2P) or Accounts Payable who thrives in a fast-paced, project-focused environment.

As a key contributor to the global P2P transformation agenda, you’ll work closely with the Global Process Owner to support and deliver a range of process improvement initiatives. From analysing complex data sets to designing future-state processes, you'll play an instrumental role in driving operational efficiency, consistency, and compliance across the business.

Some of your key day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Act as a subject matter expert (SME) in P2P, contributing expert knowledge to process improvement initiatives.
• Analyse and map end-to-end P2P processes, identifying inefficiencies, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
• Translate data into actionable insights using tools such as Excel, Power BI, or other analytics platforms.
• Maintain documentation for current and future-state processes, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and user guides.
• Support the delivery of process improvement projects, ensuring activities are completed on time and within scope.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders, including Procurement, Finance, IT, and external partners, to gather requirements and drive alignment.
• Facilitate workshops, meetings, and presentations to communicate findings and recommendations.
• Coordinate multiple workstreams, manage timelines, and track progress across various initiatives.
• Leverage knowledge of Oracle Fusion (or similar ERP systems) to support system and process enhancements.
• Contribute to governance activities, maintaining accurate documentation and reporting on performance metrics.

Qualifications

Skills you’ll need (minimum criteria)

• Proven expertise in P2P or Accounts Payable processes, ideally within a shared services or global environment.
• Demonstrable experience in process analysis, process mapping, and continuous improvement.
• Strong data analysis capabilities, with proficiency in tools such as Excel, Power BI, or other analytics platforms.
• Hands-on experience with ERP systems, with a preference for Oracle Fusion.
• Experience working within a global or complex matrix organisation.

Other requirements

Other things we’re looking for (key criteria)

• Excellent project coordination and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Confident communicator with strong stakeholder engagement and presentation skills.
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset with strong problem-solving abilities and a commitment to delivering results.
• Familiarity with project management tools such as Jira, Asana, or Microsoft Project.
• Understanding of change management and process governance frameworks.

Please note, on occasion we may receive a very large volume of applications which means applications for a role may close earlier than the referenced closing date. We’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible if interested.
