Accounts Payable Specialist bei Valeo Foods

Valeo Foods Group is one of Europe’s leading producers and distributors of consumer foods, with a portfolio of over 85 much-loved household brands – from Rowse Honey to Kettle Crisps. Since our establishment in 2010, we’ve grown rapidly through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, and we’re now on an ambitious journey to double in size over the next five years.

As part of this exciting transformation, we’re looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Group Finance team in London. This is a highly visible role working closely with senior stakeholders, including our CFO, CHRO and Group Financial Controller, so you’ll need the confidence to operate at that level while also keeping processes running smoothly day-to-day.

In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end accounts payable process for our Head Office. That means everything from setting up new suppliers and ensuring controls are watertight, through to managing invoice approvals, payment runs and reconciliations. You’ll also play a key part in reviewing coding for accuracy, supporting tax reporting, and providing insight through reporting and analysis.

Our Head Office cost base is diverse, covering Finance, HR, IT, Treasury, M&A and Facilities – and much of the spend is highly confidential. That’s why we’re looking for someone with both strong attention to detail and the credibility to work with senior business leaders in a professional, discreet manner.

We think this role will suit someone who:

• Has experience in Accounts Payable, ideally within a large, multi-national or multi-currency business.

• Is comfortable working with ERP and AP systems (experience with IFS or Adest/Glantus would be a bonus, but not essential).

• Is highly organised, deadline-driven and analytical, with a “can-do” approach.

• Communicates clearly and builds good working relationships.

You’ll be joining at a pivotal point in Valeo’s growth story, in a role that offers exposure to senior leaders and the opportunity to make a real impact. You’ll work in a fast-paced, acquisitive environment where finance is right at the heart of the strategy, and your contribution will be key in keeping things moving efficiently.

If you’re an ambitious Accounts Payable professional looking for your next step, we’d love to hear from you.
