Accounts Payable Manager

UK Multi & Single-Family Housing

Reports to Financial Controller

Four Corners is growing fast. Building structure as we go and figuring things out together. Not everything is in place yet, and that is exactly what makes it a truly exciting place to be.

This is a place for people who like the build; who see opportunity in the unknown, stay hands‑on, and want to leave things better than they found them. The culture is still taking shape, and we are bringing in people who want to help define it; curious and driven. A performance mindset matters here; people who set high standards and move with intent.

We are hiring an Accounts Payable Manager to design, build and lead the AP function from the ground up. This is a foundational hire: you will set up the processes, controls and disciplines that govern how invoices and payments flow through the business, working alongside the property management system rollout that goes live with our first multi‑family building at the end of this year.

You will be a one‑person function at launch, expanding through 2027 to lead a team as we take on property management for the single‑family portfolio and further multi‑family buildings come online.

We’re building something special together, and that’s best done side by side, so this role is office‑based at our Stockport office, the operational heart of our business, but works hand in hand with the wider Finance team in London. You should be happy to travel to London occasionally, particularly during the property management system implementation.

This is a role for someone who thrives in the build. You will be hands‑on every day, doing the work yourself, but always with one eye on the function we are growing into. The right person enjoys the discipline of AP done well, takes pride in clean processes and accurate numbers, and understands that behind every invoice is a supplier whose work shapes our residents’ experience.

Our Accounts Payable Manager will be a hands‑on operator, a builder of process and team, and a champion of accuracy, control and supplier partnership.
