Role Overview

The Contract and Accounts Payable Assistant is a key member of the finance team, responsible for managing all aspects of the accounts payable process, processing sales orders and billing, as well as supporting the Credit Control team. This role ensures the timely and accurate payment of invoices, maintains strong supplier relationships, ensures customers are invoiced on time, and contributes to the overall financial health and integrity of the finance team.

Based in Manila, you will work closely with the Finance Leadership Team based in London, UK. There are 10 people within the UK finance team, consisting of a CFO, Finance Director, FP & A Controller, Financial Controller, Management Accountants, and Credit Controllers. This is a great role to understand the dynamics of a finance team, but also the company as a whole, as the role requires you to liaise and build relationships with many other teams outside of finance.

Please note that the working hours of this role are 15:00 to 24:00 to align with our UK Head Office working hours.

There will be a chance to develop your career within Pulsar Group Plc, working your way up through the Finance team, with the company offering support through professional exams, should you wish (after successfully passing your trial period of six months).
