• Prepare and process weekly payment runs, ensuring suppliers are paid accurately and on time
• Perform regular supplier statement reconciliations, investigating discrepancies and resolving outstanding items
• Manage the end-to-end purchase order process and ensure invoices are appropriately matched and processed
• Act as a key point of contact for employee and supplier-related purchase order, invoice and payment queries
• Maintain accurate accounts payable records and support strong financial controls that can scale effectively with the business
• Support the management of ClearScore’s employee expense reimbursement process and ensure claims are in line with company policy
• Identify opportunities to improve accounts payable processes, increase efficiency and leverage technology to automate tasks

Skills we'd love you to have

• Some experience in accounts payable or a finance administration role, preferably within a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Experience of processing invoices, reconciling supplier statements and supporting payment runs
• Strong attention to detail, with the ability to take ownership of outstanding balances and see issues through to resolution
• Familiarity with accounts payable processing software (Tipalti and/or Sage Intacct is advantageous)
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills, with a willingness to learn and develop
• A proactive approach, with a drive to continuously improve processes, increase efficiency and leverage technology to automate tasks
• The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and take ownership in a fast-moving environment
