Accounts Payable Process Specialist

About this job

Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find an Accounts Payable Process Specialist. You see an invoice exception as data about the process, not just another item to clear from a queue. The partner is improving purchase to pay across several entities and suppliers. You will combine operational understanding with process analysis to reduce exceptions, strengthen controls and make the experience more reliable for requesters, approvers and vendors. The finance environment values accuracy, traceability and practical improvement. Work should withstand review, make ownership clear and reduce the recurring manual effort or uncertainty that weakens later reporting and decisions. How you will work You will collaborate across entity finance, shared services and business teams while owning defined parts of the financial cycle. The partner expects issues to be investigated to root cause, conclusions to be documented and improvements to remain workable at the next close. As a specialist, you will own a defined professional area and be trusted to move work forward independently. You are expected to recognise when a question requires wider expertise, explain recommendations clearly and improve the methods or tools used by colleagues around you. What you will do Analyse invoice, approval and supplier master data issues. Resolve complex exceptions and support operational teams. Improve controls across invoice capture, matching and payment. Define process guidance and ownership across business units. Work with procurement and systems teams on root causes. Track service measures and deliver continuous improvement. What you will bring Strong accounts payable or purchase to pay experience. Excellent process and reconciliation skills. Understanding of invoice controls and supplier master data. Experience working across finance, procurement and business teams. Advanced spreadsheet and ERP capability. Professional English and service oriented communication. Experience that would add value SAP, Basware, Medius or comparable workflow tools. Shared services or outsourced operations. Automation and process mining. A background that can succeed here You may have developed from accounts payable operations, finance systems or process improvement. The partner values someone who can handle today’s difficult transaction while building the evidence and relationships needed to remove tomorrow’s recurring cause. What makes the opportunity interesting The role provides a clear improvement mandate and a process that touches the entire organisation. Your work will reduce manual effort, payment risk and supplier frustration in ways that can be measured. The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time. The recruitment conversation During the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional credential if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap. How to apply Apply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant organisation, service, project or financial process you have helped improve. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into the profession and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
