Accounts Payable Administrator

At Walter & Wild, we’re proud to be one of New Zealand’s leading food manufacturers, with a portfolio that includes some of the country’s most iconic brands: Vitasport, Vitafresh, Aunt Betty’s, Hubbards, I Love Food Co., Greggs, Hansells, Alfa One, Movenpick (NZ & AU), Killinchy Gold, NZ Natural, Zilch, Chateau and Horleys.

Love bringing order to chaos, chasing down details, and keeping the wheels turning behind the scenes?

We’re on the lookout for an experienced Accounts Payable Administrator who’s not just great with numbers, invoices and details, but also great with people. If you pride yourself on accuracy, enjoy solving puzzles, and can influence others – this could be your kind of role.

What you’ll be doing:

• Managing the end-to-end accounts payable process – from matching and coding invoices to processing payments and reconciling statements
• Following up with suppliers and internal stakeholders to ensure everything is on time, accurate, and complete
• Investigating discrepancies and resolving issues quickly and professionally
• Supporting month-end processes and reporting requirements
• Looking for ways to improve processes and make things run more smoothly
• Providing accurate forecasts of expected month-end payments to support cashflow planning
• Being part of a wider finance team that knows how to work hard and have a laugh

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Experienced in accounts payable and familiar with high-volume environments and ideally within FMCG
• Detail-obsessed with a sharp eye for spotting errors and inconsistencies
• Confident and curious – not afraid to ask questions, follow up, and challenge when something doesn’t look right
• Resilient and organised, especially when the pressure’s on
• A strong communicator who can build good relationships across teams and with suppliers
• Tech-savvy and comfortable learning new systems (experience with ERP systems is a bonus)

Why join Walter & Wild?

We’re a proudly Kiwi company with big goals and iconic brands. We’ve got the scale to make an impact but still feel like a close-knit team.

At Walter & Wild, we take a bold, independent approach often choosing the path less travelled. We bring together people who are commercially savvy, care deeply about others, and thrive in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment. We value fresh thinking, stay curious, and adapt quickly. We're always looking for smarter, more innovative ways to move forward — and we make sure to enjoy ourselves along the way.
