Summary
This is a Senior Executive Officer role within the Accounts Payable team. We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 to process and pay supplier invoices and credit notes ( approximately 2,000 invoices a month), various grants and funding, and foreign currency payments.
We are currently working three days per week in the office. You will be provided with a laptop, and the system and processes are working well remotely. We are currently a team of approximately 11 staff who manage in small teams.
You will be required to manage a small team of mixed-grade staff (A0- HEO), produce regular accounts payable reports, reconcile month-end ledgers, analyse KPI data and produce internal and external reports as appropriate.
This role will also need to provide support and backup to the payments team, primarily on BACS and Refunds, and work with the Buying Coordinator and Bank Reconciliation Team.
As a senior team leader you will play a crucial role in managing a small team responsible for processing and paying BAU and contractor invoices in line with the Department's KPI while ensuring suitable controls for these processes. Manage faster payment (manual) requests effectively for timely payment and minimise risks.
Ensure the team complies with corporate policy and procedures, including updating AP Guidance Notes. Ensure supplier fraud risks and errors are minimised and process supplier refunds per corporate policy.
Work closely with the Section Head and other teams within the Directorate and across the Department to deliver quality services to stakeholders.
