The Opportunity
A listed business is looking for a Shared Services Manager to take ownership of its Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions.
This is a hands‐on leadership role with real visibility across the finance team - you'll set the standard for how the transactional finance engine runs, and you'll have the mandate to sharpen process, lift performance, and develop your people.
It's a role that rewards someone who leads from the front.
Whether you're an established Shared Services Manager or a strong AP/AR team leader ready to make the step up, what matters is that you know how to run a high-volume function well and bring your team with you.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and develop the AP and AR teams, setting clear priorities and lifting capability
- Own end-to-end transactional processing, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and controls
- Drive process improvement across the shared services function
- Manage supplier and customer relationships, resolving escalations effectively
- Report on key metrics - DSO, ageing, payment runs - and act on the numbers
- Partner with the broader finance team to support month-end and wider commercial goals
About You
You're a natural people leader who's run - or is ready to run - an AP/AR function in a sizeable business.
You bring strong technical grounding in transactional finance, a process‐improvement mindset, and the confidence to hold standards while developing your team.
Exposure to a listed or large‐corporate environment is a plus, but drive and the right leadership instinct matter most.
- What's On Offer
- Permanent, full-time role with a stable listed employer
- Hybrid working arrangement
- The autonomy to shape and improve the function
- A genuine platform to build your management track record
