Since 2024, 7-Eleven Australia has joined 7-Eleven international to be part of the biggest retail network across the world, represented in 20 countries with over 84,000 stores. We have big growth plans in Australia and a lot of opportunity for someone who wants to be part of ever growing retailer with a global footprint.
Firstly, what we offer you!
The role
This 6-month contract is suited to an experienced Accounts Payable professional with strong SAP and EDI capability, who can contribute to project delivery, process improvement and operational change in a high-volume, fast-paced environment.
This is not a transactional invoice processing role. The successful candidate will need to understand end-to-end AP and Procure to Pay workflows, including how invoice data moves through SAP and EDI channels, how exceptions arise, and how process or system changes impact downstream teams and stakeholders.
You will work closely with AP team members, Procurement, Supply Chain, Finance, Technology and external partners to support major AP and Procure to Pay initiatives already in flight. The role requires someone who can lead practical efficiency improvements, analyse and reconcile complex data, support change implementation, and help embed sustainable process improvements.
Please note this is a 6-month contract and is based in Melbourne.
Key responsibilities
Support the delivery of major AP and Procure to Pay projects already in flight
Provide experienced AP input into SAP, EDI, invoice flow and exception management processes

Investigate and resolve complex AP issues, including invoice, vendor, purchase order, EDI, system and reconciliation related matters
Use advanced Excel skills to analyse large data sets, complete reconciliations, identify variances and support root cause analysis
Partner with internal stakeholders to understand business impacts, manage risks and support effective change implementation
Lead or contribute to process optimisation, automation and self-service opportunities that reduce manual effort and improve accuracy
Support the development of clear process documentation, controls and sustainable ways of working
Work collaboratively with AP team members and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure changes are well understood, well controlled and effectively embedded
What’s in your toolkit?
Proven SAP experience in Accounts Payable or Procure to Pay, ideally within a large or complex organisation
Demonstrated experience working with EDI invoice processes, electronic invoice flows or similar system-integrated AP processes
Strong understanding of end-to-end AP workflows, including invoice ingestion, PO matching, exceptions, vendor queries, reconciliations and downstream impacts
Experience supporting project delivery, process improvement, automation or system change initiatives
Advanced Excel capability, including formulas, lookups, pivot tables, reconciliations and analysis of large data sets
Strong analytical and reconciliation skills, with the ability to identify root causes and recommend practical solutions
Strong stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to work constructively across Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Technology and external partners
Change management capability, including supporting teams and stakeholders through process and system changes
Strong attention to detail, sound judgement and a commitment to accuracy, compliance and control
