About us

At University College London (UCL), one of the world’s leading universities, we’re proud to deliver excellence in research, teaching, and professional services. Our Finance Department is a centralised service supporting the entire institution. We’re committed to providing high-quality, efficient financial operations that align with UCL’s values—fairness, inclusiveness, and sustainability. As part of our Accounts Payable team, you’ll be joining a collaborative and supportive environment where your work has real impact across the university.

About the role

This role sits within our Accounts Payable section and focuses on ensuring timely and accurate processing of supplier invoices. You will play a key part in matching invoices to purchase orders, resolving exceptions and queries, and maintaining communication with suppliers and departments. The role also involves managing helpdesk queries, reconciling supplier statements, and approving payments using our Oracle-based financial system. You'll need to work methodically, uphold financial regulations, and contribute to a team that supports the financial backbone of a large, complex institution.

About you

We are looking for someone who brings energy, accuracy, and a strong customer service mindset. You should have experience in a similar Accounts Payable role and be confident using Microsoft Office applications. While knowledge of Oracle Financial Applications and previous work in a customer service environment would be beneficial, what matters most is your attention to detail, proactive approach, and ability to communicate clearly. If you're someone who enjoys working in a structured, process-driven environment and values being part of a diverse and inclusive workplace, we’d love to hear from you.

Please note this is an internal only role.
