4 Month Temporary Contract

Hours:

Monday-Thursday 9.00am-5.30pm, Friday 9.00am-4.00pm

We're recruiting for an experienced Finance Administrator to join an established media business based in Salford.
This is a hands-on temporary role for somebody who understands finance processes but is also confident dealing directly with suppliers. You'll be joining a busy environment where a high volume of suppliers are used across different projects, so keeping on top of information, invoices, payments and queries is critical.

The Opportunity

This isn't a role where you'll spend the whole day behind a spreadsheet.
You'll provide day-to-day finance administration while acting as an important point of contact for suppliers. When somebody has a payment query, you'll take ownership, investigate what has happened and work with the relevant teams to get it resolved.
There is a real customer service element to the position, so how you communicate is just as important as your finance experience.

Key Responsibilities

Managing supplier and payment queries
Investigating outstanding or delayed payments
Supporting supplier onboarding and administration
Liaising with internal finance and operational teams
Speaking directly with suppliers by telephone and email
Resolving invoice and payment queries
Maintaining accurate supplier and financial information
Following issues through from initial query to resolution
Providing general finance administration support to the wider business

About You

You'll have previous experience within finance administration, accounts, accounts payable, purchase ledger, credit control or a similar finance environment.
You'll understand invoice and payment processes and be comfortable picking up new systems quickly.
Just as importantly, you'll be confident dealing with people.
You need to be comfortable picking up the phone when there's an issue, having potentially difficult conversations and keeping suppliers informed. You'll be able to challenge when necessary without damaging relationships and will take ownership of problems rather than simply passing them elsewhere.
We're looking for somebody organised, proactive and personable who can come into the business and make an impact quickly.
You'll ideally be available to start at short notice and able to work from the Salford office
