Accounts Payable Officer

Your Core Responsibilities

• Accounts Payable
• Process supplier invoices end-to-end in Workday, coding to the correct entity, cost centre and GL account, and routing for approval
• Own the AP exception queue, resolving coding, matching and approval exceptions directly with budget owners rather than escalating them
• Handle cross-entity invoices
• Maintain supplier master data and independently verify new or changed supplier bank details before any payment is released
• Respond to supplier queries with remittances; reconcile supplier statements and resolve differences
• Payments & Settlements
• Prepare the weekly payment run and daily settlement runs, both EFT and manual payments, with complete supporting documentation for independent review and dual approval
• Prepare intercompany settlements and funding requests across APAC entities, and work through payment differences with the Finance team
• Process tax, statutory and charity payments on instruction from the Finance team, on time and to deadline
• Treasury Operations
• Set up intra-group and onward cash transfers on Treasury’s instruction across multiple banks and currencies, and track each one through to settlement
• Investigate returned, rejected or unidentified payments, including SWIFT queries, beneficiary details and correspondent bank issues, and resolve them with the bank
• Support bank administration, including account forms, signatory and user changes, KYC and periodic reviews, and follow up with banks until closed
• Escalate early: anything stuck with a bank or counterparty beyond agreed timeframes goes to the AP Supervisor with a clear summary and proposed next step
• Month-End, Controls & Automation
• Support month-end close, including AP cut-off, accrual inputs, and AP sub-ledger and bank reconciliations
• Apply correct GST and indirect tax treatment on invoices, including foreign-supplier invoices
• Work with the AP Supervisor on AP automation, testing, refining coding rules and feeding back on exceptions to raise the straight-through processing rate
• Document procedures as runbooks so every process can be picked up by another team member

Your Skills and Experience

• 2-6 years of experience across accounts payable and payments or treasury operations
• Experience preparing payment runs and reconciling bank accounts in a multi-entity environment
• Working knowledge of tax invoice requirements
• Strong Excel skills and high attention to detail, comfortable handling large, multi-currency payment values
• Confident following up with banks, suppliers and senior stakeholders until items are closed
• Workday Financials experience, or another ERP such as SAP, Oracle or NetSuite, is preferred but not required
• Experience with cross-border, multi-currency payments and familiarity with SWIFT messages is an advantage but not required
• Exposure to banking in Hong Kong, Korea or Singapore is an advantage but not required
• Exposure to AP automation, OCR or invoice-capture tools is an advantage but not required
• An owner, not a router, resolving exceptions yourself and escalating only what needs a decision
• Control-minded, never releasing a payment without the right approval and always checking bank details properly
• Calm under time pressure, planning around value dates and bank cut-offs
• Quick to escalate, raising a stuck item in days, not weeks
• Curious about technology and process improvement, with an interest in automation
