AP Manager (12-Month FTC) | Fast-Growth Online Retail Brand | Manchester \n \n The Client \n Harmonic are delighted to be partnering with a fast-growing UK activewear brand, based in Manchester and operating at over £80m+ turnover. The business has more than doubled its revenue over the past two years, driven by a direct-to-consumer model alongside a selective wholesale presence. It recently took on investment from a PE firm to fund international expansion. \n Finance has stayed lean while the rest of the business has scaled quickly, and Accounts Payable is a close-knit team of four who have worked together through a period of rapid growth. This role has been created to bring the function up to the standard the business now needs, and to give that team a leader who can guide them through the change with genuine care. The business runs on NetSuite, and hands-on NetSuite experience is a firm requirement for this role. \n \n The Role \n The Accounts Payable function currently sits within a lean team, with roughly 1,000 invoices processed each month across factory, services, and card spend. This is a senior interim position on a 12-month fixed-term contract, created to lead the end-to-end transformation of the Accounts Payable. The AP team will report directly into this role for the duration of the contract, and you will act as line manager for a team of four, providing hands-on leadership through a period of genuine change. \n What makes this role distinct is the dual mandate.
