The role

As GRIR Analyst, you will take ownership of GRIR balances across the UK and Ireland, ensuring discrepancies between purchase orders, goods receipts and invoices are investigated and resolved. A key part of the role will be working through historic GRIR balances that were migrated into SAP from previous ERP systems, alongside managing current GRIR activity and ensuring new items are resolved promptly.

GRIR & Reconciliation

• Reviewing and analysing GRIR balances within SAP
• Investigating aged and unmatched goods receipts and supplier invoices
• Clearing historic GRIR balances migrated from a previous ERP system
• Reconciling GRIR accounts and ensuring balances are accurate and fully supported
• Monitoring current GRIR activity and resolving outstanding items
• Investigating discrepancies between purchase orders, goods receipts and invoices
• Identifying the root cause of issues and taking appropriate action to resolve them

SAP & Finance

• Using SAP S/4HANA to investigate and resolve GRIR exceptions
• Using SAP transactions and reporting tools including MIGO, MIRO, MB5S and MR11
• Preparing balance sheet reconciliations for GRIR accounts
• Supporting journal postings and month-end close activities where required
• Analysing GRIR ageing and trends and providing relevant commentary

Stakeholder Management

• Working closely with Accounts Payable, Procurement, Supply Chain and Finance teams
• Following up on outstanding queries and ensuring issues are progressed through to resolution
• Working with local Finance teams and other stakeholders to resolve complex or historic items
• Providing supporting information for internal and external audit requests

Process Improvement

• Identifying recurring issues and opportunities to improve the GRIR process
• Helping to reduce aged and outstanding balances
• Supporting improvements to data quality, controls and reconciliation processes
• Providing wider support to the R2R finance team as required

About you

We're particularly interested in speaking to candidates with experience in GRIR, Accounts Payable or P2P, who have a good understanding of the relationship between purchase orders, goods receipts and supplier invoices.

You'll ideally have

• Previous experience working with GRIR, AP, P2P or a similar finance function
• Strong practical experience using SAP, ideally SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC
• Experience investigating and resolving unmatched or aged transactions
• Good reconciliation skills and an understanding of balance sheet accounts
• Strong Excel skills and confidence working with large volumes of data
• A methodical and analytical approach to investigating discrepancies
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of outstanding issues
• Strong communication skills, particularly when working with different teams to resolve queries
• The ability to work to month-end deadlines and manage competing priorities

Experience of GRIR clearance following an ERP migration or SAP implementation would be particularly advantageous, but isn't essential for the right candidate.

If you're an experienced GRIR, AP or P2P professional with strong SAP experience and enjoy investigating and resolving financial discrepancies, we'd be keen to hear from you.
