Location: Redditch

We are seeking an experienced Senior Accounts Payable Specialist / Team Leader to join our finance team on a 12-month maternity cover contract.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys taking ownership of a high-volume AP function while supporting and guiding a small team—without stepping into a formal management role. You’ll play a key part in ensuring the smooth running of a busy, well-established finance operation within a growing civil engineering business delivering groundwork services to national housebuilders across the Midlands.

Our accounts payable function processes approximately 7,000 invoices per month, supported by modern, AI-enabled systems that help streamline matching and processing against purchase orders.

Senior Accounts Payable Specialist / Team Leader key duties:-
In this role, you will take a lead position within the AP team, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and timely processing across all supplier transactions. You will:
  • Support the coordination of day-to-day AP activity to ensure invoices are processed accurately and payments are made on time
  • Take ownership of supplier account reconciliations and query resolution
  • Support month-end close activities, ensuring deadlines are consistently met
  • Act as a key point of contact for supplier queries and invoice discrepancies
  • Help maintain accurate financial records in line with company policies and controls
  • Work closely with Procurement to support efficient end-to-end purchasing and payment processes
  • Provide guidance and informal support to team members to help maintain high standards and consistency
  • Report into the Finance Manager and support continuous improvement within the AP function

The successful Senior Accounts Payable Specialist / Team Leader will have the following skills and experience:-
  • Strong previous experience in Accounts Payable, ideally in a high-volume environment
  • Confident with supplier reconciliations and financial record-keeping
  • Comfortable using accounting systems and financial reporting tools
  • Strong attention to detail with excellent organisational and prioritisation skills
  • Clear communicator with strong problem-solving ability
  • Experience within construction or civil engineering is beneficial but not essential
  • AAT qualification (or equivalent) preferred
