The role

The Accounts Payable team comprises of three separate teams - two Processing teams serving our colleagues in the Faculty Finance teams, plus the Payments team, who undertake the processing of BACS and Bank Transfer payments. These part-time roles are within two of the processing teams and the purpose of these roles is to process invoices, expense claims and any other ad hoc payments in a professional and timely manner, and to deal with any related queries.

What will you be doing?

The role holders will be allocated a group of suppliers and will be responsible for any manual interventions and chasing up other approvers in the workflow to ensure invoices are processed and paid within the agreed payment terms (usually 30 days). This will involve working through a list of invoices, dealing with statements and any other supplier queries as they arise. The role holders will also be involved in checking submitted staff and non-staff expense claims, as well as dealing with queries in the internal mailbox. Other ad hoc tasks include being involved in implementing Continuous Improvement initiatives and any other short-term projects.

You should apply if

You should have an aptitude for working with finance and non-finance specialists and a customer service focused attitude. Experience of using a purchasing system in a large complex organisation and an awareness of VAT regulations is desirable but not essential. You should be a good communicator, able to organise workloads effectively and work well under pressure. You must be a good team player, but able to work independently on your own specific tasks and queries.

We welcome applications from all members of our community and are particularly encouraging those from diverse groups, such as members of the LGBT+ and BAME communities, to join us.
