Skills: Procure to Pay, Finance Transformation, NetSuite, Accounts Payable, Procurement, Stakeholder Management

We are looking to recruit a Global Procure to Pay Lead for a global software company. My client are undergoing a global finance transformation, centred around a NetSuite implementation.

This is an initial 6 month contract working 2/3 days a week onsite in Central London.

This role will take ownership of the end-to-end Procure to Pay process, with a focus on defining and embedding a scalable global framework. The current environment is fragmented and inefficient across procurement, invoice processing and supplier payments, and requires a hands-on individual to drive meaningful change.

This is not a design-only role. You will be expected to operate as a "doer", working closely with finance, procurement and operational teams to implement improvements, challenge existing processes and ensure adoption across multiple regions.

Key responsibilities:

• Define and implement a global Procure to Pay framework across multiple regions
• Identify process inefficiencies across procurement, invoicing and payment processes
• Lead NetSuite process design and optimisation for Procure to Pay
• Drive improvements in invoice processing, payment cycles and working capital
• Work closely with Finance, Procurement and Operations to align priorities
• Influence stakeholders and drive adoption across global teams
• Operate across international time zones, including APAC where required

Key experience:

• Proven experience leading Procure to Pay transformation within complex organisations
• Strong understanding of accounts payable, procurement and supplier management processes
• Experience working on ERP implementations, ideally NetSuite
• Ability to operate in ambiguous environments and drive change without heavy support
  * Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
  * Hands-on approach with a focus on delivery and outcomes

This is a high-impact role requiring someone who can build the framework, implement change and bring stakeholders on the journey.
