Purchase Ledger Team Leader

Salary: Starting from £39,000 per annum
Full time; 40 hours per week
12-month fixed term contract, available for ASAP start
Based in: Covent Garden, London

The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts - we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.

The Finance, Legal & Business Affairs Department provide professional support across the organisation, using Business Central Dynamics 365 as our central finance system. We are seeking to recruit an experienced purchase ledger professional to join the team, covering a sabbatical for 12 months. Reporting to the Financial Accounts Manager, you will support the effective and smooth-running operation of the Purchase Ledger, ensure the business is trained and equipped to use the finance system and be the first point of contract for all PO and PL queries.

Our ideal candidate will be a proactive professional who can manage their own workload effectively, supporting departments across the RBO with enquiries in a timely manner. They will be able to demonstrate:

• Experience of Purchase Ledger processes
• The ability to perform statement reconciliations to the general ledger
• A motivation to support procedures for effective internal controls and improved efficiencies
• Excellent numeracy skills
• Proficient MS Office user, with good experience of Excel, Word and Docusign
• A good track record in delivering accurate, high-quality work and reporting to deadlines and to required standards
