Accounts Payable Administrator

Apply
About the Opportunity
If you’re an experienced AP person who enjoys people and problem-solving as much as numbers, this could be a great next move.
  • Join a well-known global organisation in a varied Accounts Payable Administrator role
  • Take ownership of supplier queries, vendor reconciliations, POs and local AP support
  • Work closely with internal stakeholders, helping solve issues and keep payments moving
  • Support payment cycles, month-end activity, expenses, credit cards and AP systems
  • Pick up some broader travel, facilities and office administration to keep things interesting
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend all day processing invoice after invoice. Much of the transactional processing sits offshore, leaving you to focus on the problem-solving, stakeholder and ownership side of AP.

What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone who knows their way around AP and can confidently take ownership once they’re up to speed.
  • Around 3+ years’ solid NZ Accounts Payable experience, ideally in a larger business
  • Strong understanding of purchase orders, supplier reconciliations and AP processes
  • Confidence dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders – you’re happy to pick up the phone
  • Strong systems capability; SAP experience is useful but not essential
  • A proactive, organised approach with great attention to detail and the ability to learn quickly
  • You’ll suit this team if you’re friendly, easygoing and collaborative, but also confident enough to follow things up, ask questions and push back when needed.
What’s on Offer
  • Genuine temp-to-permanent opportunity for the right person
  • Manageable workload with plenty of variety and no expectation of regular overtime
  • Small, friendly finance team where you can take real ownership of your area
  • Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:00pm, based near Auckland Airport
  • Parking available and an ASAP start for the right person
Next Steps? 
To keep things simple, we ask that all applications are submitted through this advert. We’ll review applications as they come in and be in touch.

To apply for this vacancy, you MUST be a New Zealand citizen, resident, or have already secured the right to work in New Zealand and therefore hold a valid visa.
