• Building and maintaining strong relationships with transporters, including on-boarding and regular check-ins
• Reviewing creditor reconciliations monthly and uploading approved payments to the accounting system
• Ensuring compliance with internal policies, accounting standards, and regulatory requirements
• Identifying opportunities to automate and improve creditors processes

What is in it for you:

• The chance to lead a team and shape how the creditors function runs
• Exposure to senior management and cross-functional collaboration
• A dynamic, fast-paced environment where your contributions are visible and valued
• Room to drive process improvements and put your own stamp on the role
