What you will do as Accounts Payable Specialist 

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you will play a key role in ensuring an accurate and efficient accounts payable administration for several Haskoning entities. You will collaborate with colleagues across the business, work with advanced invoiceprocessing tools, and contribute actively to automation initiatives. A strong technical affinity is essential in this role, as you will be involved in working with bots, consolidated invoice flows, and automated workflows, and in identifying opportunities to further digitalise and streamline accounts payable processes. 

Main responsibilities of the AP team include:

• Contributing to the continuous improvement of finance processes, identifying opportunities to streamline processes and supporting automation and standardization initiatives (e.g., RPA, workflow improvements, data quality enhancement) 

Together we will determine which of the above tasks suit you and energise you, as tasks are distributed amongst team members based on their individual interests and capabilities.
