Job description

Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable Manager
📍 London (Hybrid: 3 days office / 2 days home)
💷 Up to £55,000 + benefits

We're working with a well-known retail brand that's loved across the UK - and they're on the lookout for an AP & AR Manager who's ready to take the reins of their payables and receivables function.

This is a great chance to step into a visible role where you'll be managing both sides of the cashflow equation - making sure suppliers are paid on time while keeping customer collections in check. On top of that, you'll lead and support a small, capable team (two direct reports) while driving process improvements.

What you'll be doing:

  • Running the Accounts Payable function - invoices, payments, supplier queries - the lot.

  • Overseeing Accounts Receivable & Credit Control - chasing down overdue invoices and keeping cash coming in.

  • Coaching, supporting, and developing your two direct reports.

  • Keeping an eagle eye on aged debt, creditor reports, and cashflow.

  • Spotting process improvements and making things slicker, smarter, and more efficient.

  • Building strong relationships with suppliers, customers, and internal teams.

What we're looking for:

  • Solid experience in both AP and AR/Credit Control - you know how to keep the balance right.

  • Previous people management experience (or ready to step up into leading a team).

  • Confident communicator who can build relationships and influence at all levels.

  • Retail or consumer sector experience would be a bonus, but not essential.

  • Organised, proactive, and always looking for ways to improve processes.

Why apply?

  • Salary up to £55,000 + great benefits.

  • Hybrid working - 3 days in a lively London office, 2 from home.

  • Join a brand name with a strong reputation and a collaborative culture.

  • Opportunity to make the role your own and have a real impact.
