Accounts Payable (6 Months - Hybrid)

Accounts Payable Specialist - 6‑Month Contract

Beverage Industry | Dublin 4 | Hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 WFH) 35 hours per week | 9am-5pm

A leading global organisation in the beverage sector is seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Specialist to join their Dublin team on a 6‑month contract. This is a fantastic opportunity to step into a fast‑moving, multi‑entity environment undergoing significant transformation, with plenty of scope to broaden your responsibilities once you're up and running.

You'll be joining a high‑performing finance team supporting AP operations across multiple regions including Ireland, EMEA and APAC. The role requires someone who can hit the ground running, manage high‑volume AP, and stay on top of vendor payments, reconciliations, and goods receipt processes.

⭐ What You'll Be Doing

• Processing 800-900 invoices monthly across multiple entities and currencies (EUR, GBP, USD).

• Performing 3‑way matching (PO/GR/Invoice) - a critical part of the role - including chasing missing PO numbers and goods receipts.

• Managing PO and non‑PO invoices, manual AP entries, and coding prior to payment.

• Ensuring timely, accurate, and complete payment processing for weekly and monthly payment runs.

• Handling vendor queries, maintaining vendor master data, and clearing open items.

• Conducting supplier reconciliations, aged creditor reviews, and AP reporting (cash flow, ageing, open items, forecasts).

• Posting travel & expense claims and supporting the GR/IR process.

• Preparing payment proposals and remittance advices.

• Supporting internal and external audit requirements and maintaining audit‑ready documentation.

• Performing GNRI analysis, vendor account clearing, and storing documentation in SharePoint.

• Providing data on transaction volumes to support performance metrics.

⭐ What We're Looking For

• Strong experience in 3‑way matching, goods receipts, and invoice validation - essential.

• Background in high‑volume AP (800-900 invoices monthly).

• Experience working across multi‑entity and multi‑currency environments.

• Solid understanding of SAP (Miro, GR process) - SAP Ariba experience is a bonus.

• Ability to manage manual AP processes and stay organised in a busy inbox.

• Someone proactive, structured, and able to thrive during periods of change.

• AR experience is a nice‑to‑have but not required.

Why This Role?

• Join a global, well‑established organisation with ongoing growth and transformation.

• Work in a collaborative finance team with opportunities to expand into other areas once settled.

• Hybrid working model with a modern Dublin 4 office.

• A role where your AP expertise will genuinely make an impact.
