Process approximately 2,500 invoices per month, complying with local tax and control requirements for each region.

Communicate mainly via written platforms, with periodic group meetings and calls with suppliers and internal stakeholders.

Demonstrated ability to manage cross-border processes in a high-volume environment (around 2,500 invoices monthly).
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
Effective communication skills, with comfort in a largely written and remote international work environment.

Team Structure & Working Arrangement

All functions are group-focused, supporting international accounts payable needs rather than South Africa-specific activities.
The hybrid work option is available, in line with global team policies.

Longer-term potential includes movement across finance roles, such as progressing to a Billing Co-Ordinator position, depending on business needs and personal development.
