Job Description:

  • 6 month contract initially (potential to extend)
  • Western Sydney location - 2 days WFH
  • Previous inventory and SAP S/4Hana experience advantageous
  • Own the Accounts Payable function end-to-end across a complex, fast-paced distribution business.

    This is a senior leadership role with full accountability for AP performance, controls, working capital outcomes and SAP S/4HANA process excellence. You’ll lead a high-volume AP function spanning domestic and international suppliers, foreign currency, landed costs, freight, duty and inventory-related payables.

    What you will look after:
    • End-to-end AP lifecycle (3-way match, approvals, payment runs, reconciliations)
    • AP subledger integrity and month-end close
    • International supplier payments & FX exposure
    • Landed cost allocation and inventory accuracy
    • GR/IR management and rebate/credit note oversight
    • AP process ownership within SAP S/4HANA
    • Automation, OCR optimisation and workflow improvements
    • Internal controls, audit readiness and fraud prevention
    • Working capital optimisation (DPO, cash forecasting, payment terms)
    What You’ll Drive
    • Faster invoice cycle times
    • Higher 3-way match automation
    • Reduced payment errors and duplicates
    • Stronger controls and cleaner reporting
    • A high-performing, accountable AP team
    To be considered for this role you will have:
    • 8+ years AP experience, including 3+ years leading a team
    • Strong SAP S/4HANA capability
    • Experience in distribution, wholesale or import environments
    • Deep understanding of landed costs and inventory accounting
    • Exposure to foreign currency supplier payments
    • CA/CPA (preferred)
    • Advanced Excel and reporting skills
    This role suits a hands-on senior AP leader who understands distribution complexity, thrives in SAP, and wants to elevate the function — not just manage it.
