• Support new country and process implementations, developing expertise in relevant country-specific requirements.
• Monitor, maintain and report agreed KPIs and business metrics.

As our Accounts Payable Specialist, you will bring..

• Experience in Accounts Payable, Finance Operations, Supplier Services, Procurement Operations or a similar shared-services' environment.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate discrepancies and follow issues through to resolution.
