As Senior Accounts / Supervisor, you'll oversee the day-to-day delivery of our finance operations while leading and developing a team of four.

You'll keep the fundamentals running brilliantly - accurate processing, strong controls, healthy cash management and smooth month-end delivery - while looking for opportunities to make our processes more efficient and effective.

It's a hands-on leadership role combining finance operations, cash management, reporting, process improvement and people development.

You'll be close enough to the detail to understand what's happening, while giving your team the direction, coaching and support they need to deliver.

• Oversee day-to-day Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable activity.
• Manage monthly sales and purchase ledger reviews.
• Ensure finance processing is accurate, controlled and completed to deadline.

• Build strong relationships with stakeholders across Bulk™.
• Resolve finance queries efficiently and professionally.
• Communicate confidently with internal and external stakeholders.
• Work collaboratively across Finance and wider operational teams to keep things moving.

You're a hands-on finance professional who understands the detail but also enjoys helping other people succeed.

Organised, accurate and commercially aware, you're comfortable managing competing priorities and spotting where a process could work better.

You'll likely bring:

• At least 3 years' experience within finance or accounting.
• Previous experience leading, supervising or coaching a finance team.
• Strong practical knowledge of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable.
• Experience managing operational workloads, deadlines and competing priorities.
