• Managing relationships with key suppliers and finance‑related service providers, including oversight of transactions, reconciliations and issue resolution.
• Providing day‑to‑day guidance and support to junior team members, including the Accounts Payable Officer, to build capability and maintain high service quality.
• Ensuring audit‑ready documentation, strong internal controls and compliance with policies and procedures.

Your work will directly contribute to improved financial governance, earlier decision‑making, simpler processes, stronger partnerships and reduced organisational risk.
