Own the end-to-end Accounts Payable operations across our international supplier network, ensuring supplier invoices, statements, and financial documentation are received, verified, reconciled, and processed accurately and on time.

You'll also take ownership of supplier disputes and chargeback management, ensuring issues are resolved efficiently while minimising financial losses and protecting operational performance.

As Stayforlong grows, you'll play an active role in improving our Accounts Payable operations. You'll identify opportunities to simplify processes, support automation initiatives and contribute ideas that help the team work more efficiently as transaction volumes continue to increase.

Your mission is to help protect Stayforlong's financial health by ensuring accurate supplier accounting, maintaining strong relationships with our partners and continuously improving the efficiency of our Accounts Payable operations.

Your Impact
Accounts Payable Excellence

Own the end-to-end supplier invoicing lifecycle, ensuring invoices, statements, and supporting documentation are received, validated, reconciled, and processed accurately. Maintain strong financial controls while ensuring supplier balances remain accurate and operational deadlines are consistently met.

Scalability & Automation

Continuously identify opportunities to simplify processes, reduce manual work and support automation initiatives that improve the efficiency of Accounts Payable operations.





Monitor and prevent financial leakages across all operations, keeping chargeback costs and dispute rates tightly aligned with Business Plan targets. You own the numbers and the results.

Conduct daily statement of account cycles with precision, communicating directly with international providers to ensure ledger balances align, reconcile supplier accounts, validate financial documentation, and support their accounting declarations.

Identify recurring issues across supplier invoices, disputes and reconciliations, proposing practical improvements that prevent problems from happening again.

Process Excellence, Scalability & Innovation

Continuously improve Accounts Payable and dispute management processes by eliminating manual work, increasing automation, improving data quality, and designing scalable workflows capable of supporting the company's rapid growth. You don't just execute—you transform.

Cross-Functional Orchestration

Coordinate seamlessly with Finance, Payments & Fraud, Product/IT, Supply, and Customer Experience teams to address root causes of recurring disputes, improve operational processes, and implement permanent solutions.

Speed & Transparency

Identify, correct, and execute action on financial issues with urgency. Communicate early and often using our Bad news first principle—radical transparency is non-negotiable.

Practices

Daily operational cycles, supplier invoice validation, account reconciliations, weekly metrics reviews, monthly performance evaluations against Business Plan targets, and continuous process optimization.

We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex operational processes, takes ownership of their work and is motivated by solving problems while building strong relationships with suppliers and internal teams.

Experienced Accounts Payable Professional

2–3+ years of experience in Accounts Payable, supplier accounting, financial operations, account reconciliation, or dispute management within travel, hospitality, marketplaces, or other high‑volume transactional environments.

Analytical Mindset

You're comfortable working with data, analysing reconciliations and identifying trends that help improve operational performance. Advanced Excel skills are essential.

Provider Relationship Management

Proven ability to communicate clearly and collaborate with international partners,



building trust‑based relationships across borders and cultures.

Process Improvement Mindset

Passionate about simplifying operations through automation and continuous improvement. You naturally identify inefficiencies, challenge manual processes, and build scalable solutions that support business growth.

Ownership & Accountability

You're comfortable managing your own priorities and taking ownership of your work while collaborating closely with the rest of the team.

Solution-Oriented Thinker

You propose and implement permanent solutions, not temporary patches. Repetitive problems demand permanent fixes.

Clear, direct, and highly structured communication. You explain complex financial data to any audience—internal teams, international suppliers, and leadership.

Organisation & Prioritisation

You're organised, able to prioritise effectively and comfortable managing multiple tasks in a fast‑paced environment.

Language Skills
