WHY OATLY?

Across the world people’s consumption habits and diets are evolving to be more plant-based. Enter Oatly, the #1 oat based dairy alternative producer in the world with products spanning multiple categories.

We’re determined on being part of the discussion on the long-term future of the food and beverage industry. To keep this movement going, we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the Oatly flowing.

Sustainability, health, and transparency are the core values that guide everything we do. Basically, we exist to make it easy for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process. If any of this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like work for Oatly, too. Now onto the formal stuff.

WHAT WE NEED YOU TO DO

We are seeking a skilled Accounts Payable Manager to lead the continuous transition of our Accounts Payable function from manual processes to an automated solution. You will have proven ability to build & lead successful teams, fostering collaboration, accountability and high performance to achieve organizational goals. This role is critical to ensuring a seamless implementation and integration of AP automation technology, enhancing efficiency, accuracy and scalability across our finance operations.

Here’s the main elements of the role...

• Driving the end-to-end AP automation transition in close partnership with Finance, IT, Procurement, and vendors.
• Building and leading a high-performing team with clear goals and a collaborative, results-oriented culture.
• Overseeing system configuration, testing, data migration, and go-live activities.
• Providing training and support to staff to ensure smooth adoption and minimal disruption.
• Leading the AP team post-transition with a continued focus on process and system optimization.
• Monitoring post-implementation performance and resolving any operational or system-related issues.
• Documenting new AP processes and developing user-friendly guides and SOPs.

But, you know. These are just the things we can think of right now! This might be the job today, but tomorrow brings more change, so being light on your feet and willing to embrace the unknown is a verrrrrry big help.

In this role, you will report to the Head of E&I Accounting SSC, and the location for this role is our beautiful HQ office in Malmö.
