Great finance teams don't just process invoices — they build efficient systems that keep the business moving.
At Ericom, we're looking for a Senior AP & Procurement Specialist who will take ownership of our supplier payments and purchasing processes while helping us simplify, improve, and automate how they operate.
This is a role for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex processes, improving controls, and gradually eliminating manual work through better workflows and smarter systems.
As automation improves the efficiency of our finance operations, this role will naturally evolve — giving you the opportunity to solve new operational challenges and continuously improve how the business manages suppliers and purchasing.
The Role
You will manage the end-to-end accounts payable and procurement administration function, ensuring invoices, purchase orders, and supplier records are processed accurately, compliantly, and efficiently.
Working closely with Finance, Operations, Sales, and external vendors, you will also identify opportunities to streamline processes, strengthen controls, and reduce manual work across AP and procurement.

* Review invoice coding and GST treatment for compliance and accuracy
* Reconcile supplier statements and resolve discrepancies or credit notes
* Monitor AP ageing and ensure invoices are paid within agreed supplier terms
* Support month-end close including AP cut-off, accruals, and reconciliations
* Ensure AP data integrity supports accurate BAS and financial reporting
Procurement & Purchasing
* Manage purchase orders and procurement administration in line with delegation and policy frameworks
* Validate procurement requests for completeness, approvals, and policy compliance
* Support supplier onboarding including ABN verification and compliance documentation
* Maintain accurate supplier and procurement records across finance systems
* Monitor outstanding purchase orders and supplier delivery issues
* Support supplier performance and pricing reviews
Process Improvement & Automation
* Identify opportunities to automate invoice processing and procurement workflows

* Strengthen internal controls and compliance processes
* Document procedures and contribute to process improvement initiatives
Reporting & Stakeholder Support
* Maintain reporting including AP ageing and outstanding purchase orders
* Build strong relationships with stakeholders across Finance, Sales, and Operations
* Analyse trends and resolve recurring issues proactively
* Provide informal mentoring and assist with onboarding new team members
What You Bring
* 3+ years experience in Accounts Payable with end-to-end process ownership
* Experience working in a purchase order-based environment
* Strong understanding of GST, AP compliance, and supplier management
* High attention to detail with strong reconciliation capability
* Strong Excel and systems capability
* A mindset focused on process improvement and automation
* Experience supporting procurement or purchasing activities
* Exposure to audit requirements and internal controls
* Experience within medium-to-large organisations
* Certificate IV or Diploma in Accounting, Finance, or Business (or equivalent experience)
Why This Role Is Interesting
This role suits someone who enjoys:
* Improving finance and procurement processes
* Building smarter systems that reduce manual work
* Strengthening controls and data quality
* Working closely with operational teams across the business
As automation reduces repetitive tasks, the role will continue to evolve — giving you the opportunity to drive ongoing improvements across the finance function.
