Job Description
Get to Know the Role:
Reporting directly to the Lead, AP Solution Support, you play a critical role within our Procure-to-Pay execution engine. This is not a traditional Accounts Payable role — we are looking for highly driven operators who thrive in fast-paced, high-volume environments and focus on adhering to processes and procedures. You will be responsible for executing operational tasks, escalating non-standard issues, and supporting stabilization efforts in assigned markets. This role is ideal for someone who combines operational discipline with a strong “Own It” mindset and enjoys solving complex problems while helping scale a modern, process-led SSC organisation.
Key Responsibilities: Your Operational Mandate
Service Delivery Excellence & Operational Execution: Be able to support Service Delivery teams to execute and perform a range of standard AP operational activities across invoice processing, payment execution, vendor issue resolution, and exception handling (when required). Support operational activities, including exception handling, are executed accurately within defined SLAs to maintain service continuity, and adherence to internal controls across assigned markets.
Escalation Management & Problem Solving: Act as a point of contact for routine operational queries. Solve standard problems using defined procedures and escalate complex or high-priority issues to the appropriate lead.
Process Stability & Hypercare Support: Support stabilisation efforts during periods of transformation, migration, market onboarding, or process changes. Assist in maintaining operational continuity during hypercare phases and rapidly adapt to changing business priorities.
Continuous Improvement & Automation Support: Identify routine operational inefficiencies and propose suggestions for improvement. Provide support to Regional Process Owners (RPOs) and Finance Systems teams during automation and standardisation initiatives.
Performance Monitoring, KPI & SLA Management: Monitor and report on daily operational KPIs, backlog status, and SLA adherence. Use existing reports to identify simple performance gaps and follow up on corrective actions as directed by the Lead.
Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration: Communicate effectively with local finance teams and stakeholders to resolve routine operational queries.
Governance, Controls & Compliance: Ensure adherence to internal controls, payment governance, compliance requirements, and company policies. Escalate risks proactively and maintain high standards of operational discipline and documentation integrity.
Qualifications
What You Will Need to Be Successful
Experience: 2+ years of experience in Accounts Payable, Finance Operations, or Shared Services environments, preferably within a high-volume, process-driven organization.
Technology Fluency: Hands-on experience with ERP and finance systems such as SAP, Ariba, VIM, OCR platforms, Concur, or similar workflow solutions. Exposure to automation, analytics, or process improvement technologies is a plus.
Analytical & Operational Mindset: Strong operational execution skills with the ability to prioritize tasks effectively under pressure. Detail-oriented approach to monitoring operational issues and ensuring execution follows defined SOPs.
Problem Solving: Ability to resolve recurring issues using established procedures and escalate complex, non-standard, or ambiguous problems promptly to the Lead.
