The OpportunityAs Associate Director, Accounts Payable, you will assume ownership of a core finance operations function and lead a large AP organisation. You will impose structure on a growing setup, raise the standard of execution, and improve processes, systems and ways of working in close partnership with Finance, Procurement and other functions.

The role is highly visible and operationally exposed. It is not a narrowly administrative payables seat. The purpose is to run AP at scale with accuracy, control and efficiency, and to build an operating model that can absorb further growth without a corresponding increase in manual effort or operational risk.

The successful candidate will be assessed on the reliability of the function, the quality of leadership, and the ability to professionalise Accounts Payable inside a digitally enabled healthcare platform.

• Key ResponsibilitiesLead and further develop a large Accounts Payable organisation, establishing structure, performance standards and accountability.
• Own end-to-end AP operations, from invoice receipt and processing through to payment execution, with responsibility for accuracy, timeliness, control and scalability.
• Strengthen process discipline across a high-volume environment, including exception handling, vendor master quality, reconciliations and close-related AP work.
• Drive operational improvement through process redesign, automation and more effective use of ERP and related tools.
• Partner closely with Finance, Procurement and other stakeholders on supplier issues, payment terms, operational bottlenecks and control questions.
• Lead change and transformation initiatives within the function, converting structural improvements into durable ways of working.
• Remain close enough to operational detail to diagnose root causes, while setting the standard for how the organisation is run.
• Contribute to the broader finance operating model as transaction volumes and organisational complexity continue to increase.
