AP/AR Team Lead

About The Role

The LTA 's vision is 'Tennis Opened Up' and its mission is the transform communities through tennis by making it welcoming, enjoyable and inspiring to everyone. We have a similar approach to developing and promoting padel, one of the fastest growing sports in Britain.

The role of the Finance Department is to ensure the business prioritises its spending on the best projects and programmes to the benefit of our customers, whether that be elite players or kids playing their first game of mini-tennis.

The AP/AR Team Lead is a member of the AP/AR team and will manage the AP/AR tasks of the AP/AR team including accountability for payment processing to ensure the smooth running of the department, with responsibility for management of the AP/AR balances, and line management responsibility of two AP/AR Clerks. In addition, they will naturally take on the more complex aspects of the team's work and be an escalation point and source of guidance for other team members. It is one of two roles that report into the Treasury Finance Manager.

The AP/AR Team Lead plays a critical role in maintaining the financial integrity of the LTA by managing both outgoing and incoming payments. This dual-function position ensures suppliers are paid accurately and on time, while also overseeing customer invoicing and collections to optimise cash flow.
