- Maintain supplier master data and independently verify new or changed supplier bank details before any payment is released

- The AP Officer will join IMC’s Finance team in Sydney, working directly with the AP Supervisor to run accounts payable, payments and settlements across multiple legal entities in various APAC jurisdictions, with multi-currency payments in AUD, USD, HKD, KRW and JPY. The role sits within a lean, two-person AP operations team and plays a critical part in ensuring supplier payments, intercompany settlements and the daily cash movements that keep a trading business running are accurate, controlled and on time.
- Two near-term priorities shape the role: AP automation, where you will own the exception queue and help tune the process in Workday Financials until most invoices flow straight through; and building resilience into our operations, so payments and settlements run cleanly every day, including when a colleague is away. This is not a shared-services AP role. It is a broad and substantive role from day one in a lean, high-performing team where you will own real outcomes and work closely with the Finance Managers, the Financial Controller and Treasury.
- 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
