We are recruiting for an experienced Interim Accounts Payable Supervisor to join a busy finance team for an initial six-month contract.

This is a hands-on opportunity for a strong Accounts Payable professional to provide day-to-day coordination and help resolve a significant invoice backlog during a period of system change.

The Role

You will be responsible for:

• Supporting and coordinating the Accounts Payable team.
• Managing the allocation of resources across a high-volume invoice workload.
• Helping to clear a significant backlog of invoices.
• Ensuring payment runs are completed accurately and on time.
• Maintaining key financial controls.
• Supporting treasury and payment processes.
• Providing guidance and support to temporary and permanent team members.
• Helping the team navigate ongoing system and process changes.

The role is focused on transactional Accounts Payable activity and does not require responsibility for purchase orders or complex month-end processes.

About You

We are looking for a senior Accounts Payable professional who can quickly take ownership in a busy and changing environment.

You will ideally have:

• Strong Accounts Payable experience.
• Experience working in a high-volume finance environment.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Experience supporting or coordinating colleagues.
• The ability to prioritise workloads and meet strict deadlines.
• Experience working through system implementations, transitions or process change.
• A hands-on, collaborative and solutions-focused approach.

Previous formal management experience would be advantageous, but the key requirement is the ability to provide confident day-to-day coordination and support within a busy AP function.

If you are an experienced Accounts Payable professional available for an immediate interim opportunity and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you.
