We are currently seeking an Accounts Payable Transaction Processor to support finance operations at a well-established organisation based in Darlington. This role is ideal for someone with a background in Accounts Payable or Shared Business Services who enjoys variety in their workday.

💡 What You'll Be Doing:

  • Investigate aged invoice issues and intercompany disputes
  • Perform supplier statement reconciliations
  • Maintain clear communication with finance teams, buyers, and suppliers
  • Ensure compliance with SOx documentation and internal controls
  • Contribute to project testing, reporting, and ongoing improvements
  • Deliver excellent internal and external customer service

🧠 What We're Looking For:

  • Prior Accounts Payable or Finance experience
  • Strong administrative skills and attention to detail
  • Fluent in English (spoken and written)
  • Excellent Excel and email proficiency
  • Familiarity with Oracle systems is highly desirable
  • A proactive, flexible, and team-first mindset

⏰ Working Hours:

Choose from:

  • 08:00 - 16:00
  • 08:30 - 16:30
  • 09:00 - 17:00
    Flexible option to work extended hours Monday-Thursday to finish early on Fridays.

🤝 Why Join?

You'll be joining a team that values integrity, collaboration, and continuous improvement. If you thrive in a structured yet adaptable environment and are passionate about delivering excellent service, we'd love to hear from you.
