At Lowell, we know that getting the basics right makes a big difference, and that's where our Accounts Payable team comes in. We're looking for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, takes pride in accuracy, and loves finding smarter ways of doing things. As our Accounts Payable Specialist, you'll play a key role in making sure suppliers are paid correctly and on time, while helping us maintain strong financial controls and excellent service standards. You'll work closely with colleagues and suppliers across the business, solving problems, building great relationships, and supporting continuous improvement as we continue to evolve and automate our processes.
What we need from you:
Previous Accounts Payable experience in a high-volume processing environment.
Strong understanding of invoice processing, supplier reconciliations and payment runs.
Excellent attention to detail, with the ability to work accurately and maintain strong financial controls.
Strong problem-solving skills, with the confidence to investigate and resolve discrepancies and queries.
Great communication and stakeholder management skills, with a customer-focused approach.
Proficiency in Excel (including Pivot Tables and XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP) and experience using ERP systems such as Oracle; an AAT qualification or equivalent experience would be an advantage.
If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every requirement - don’t worry, still apply. Your unique perspective could be just what we’re looking for.
What you’ll get:
A discretionary annual bonus to reward your impact
3% flexible benefits that you can tailor to suit your lifestyle, whether that’s extra cash, more holiday, or added health cover.
Hybrid working for the best of both worlds-collaboration and focus.
Free onsite parking, saving you time and money.
Recharge and refresh opportunities with 28 days of holiday plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to five more-giving you more time for what matters most.
Peace of mind with life assurance that supports your loved ones, no matter what.
A culture that celebrates you and supports your wellbeing - with recognition awards, access to on-site gym facilities, and a variety of wellbeing initiatives offered throughout the year to help you stay balanced, resilient and feeling your best.
Encouragement to be your authentic self at work by joining one of our vibrant employee networks-like Rise (Gender), Proud (LGBTQIA+), Culture, or Spark (Neurodiversity & Disability) - and connect with a community that celebrates and supports you.
