- You will play a critical part in maintaining strong, positive supplier and internal stakeholder relationships and ensuring absolute compliance with company policies.

- Supplier Relationship Management: Act as the primary point of contact for your assigned suppliers. Resolve payment discrepancies, respond to inquiries via Slack, Email, or Jira within a strict 48-hour SLA, and manage supplier master data
- Payment Processing: Prepare and process regular Settlement Runs via EFT, Direct Debit, Expense Reports, or Netting within Workday, ensuring timely payments to maintain excellent supplier relations
- System Optimization: Monitor OCR (Workday) and PA (Pagero) performance, treat unassigned invoices, and stay up-to-date with Workday best practices to continuously improve our finance tech stack
- Project Involvement and Continuous Improvement : Proactively assess existing processes, participate in department roadmap building and execution, enabling continuous improvement of P2P process
- Audit & Compliance Support: Adhere strictly to internal AP policies, assist with interim and yearly external audits, and confidently walk auditors through our P2P procedures
Application process

- A 30-min video-call with an AP team mate to assess your team fit and few technical questions to level your P2P process mastering
- A 60-min video-call, including technical accounting questions with the Finance Leadership, to assess your hard skill
- Usually, our hiring process lasts on average 25-30 days and offers usually come within 48 hours. BlaBlaCar is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees
Our take
Travelling can be an expensive process, with public transport and petrol costs quickly adding up. Many people choose to purchase last-minute bus tickets or travel in carpools to minimize costs and carbon emissions, but these opportunities can be difficult to find and there is no framework to locate them and assess their legitimacy.
BlaBlaCar provides an online marketplace to connect travellers with carpools and spare seats on buses in order to provide a budget alternative to traditional means of travel. Drivers can sign up to provide a carpool service, and BlaBlaCar verifies the identity and reviews of both carpool drivers and bus companies to ensure that the budget service is fully regulated.
Budget alternatives to traditional public transport and driving routes are nothing new, but BlaBlaCar has taken a unique approach by providing this regulated framework for carpooling. Furthermore, the company provides last-minute and predetermined bus seats, reducing costs for users whilst preventing buses from travelling wastefully with empty seats.
