- Exceptional attention to detail, organisational and analytical skills along with strong communication skills
- Proactive with problem solving and analytical skills
- Ability to prioritize and manage multiple responsibilities
- Ability to perform accurate, fast and reliable data entry of a high volume of invoices and expenses into the accounting system
- An in-depth understanding, and ability to resolve and bill purchase orders
- Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines
- Self-motivated and proactive - requiring minimum daily supervisory input
- Efficient at time management and multi-tasking
- Manage, record, and resolve queries in a timely manner
- Multi-Region knowledge of VAT Rules and applicable rates for invoices and expenses
- Methodical, logical, industrious, diligent and works to a high level of integrity
- Must protect the confidentiality of staff and our vendors
- 2 to 5 years’ experience in Accounts Payable.

Why Mimecast?

We’re fast thinking. We go big to reach our cyberattack-disrupting goals. And we do what we need to protect the world of business from getting important (and potentially compromising) data stolen. We never leave anyone behind. We deliver quickly - and outstandingly. We’re big on honesty because it makes us better. We’re empowered by our mission. And if cybercriminals have a good day, we work twice as hard to make the rest of their days a nightmare. That’s The Mimecast Way.

And the Mimecast way is also a hybrid-working way. We empower our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team, and our stakeholders.

Become a Mimecaster and put corporate data under your protection. Fill our teams with respect. And bring cybercrime-obstructing energy to your work. Be passionate. Be powerful. Be alive with purpose.

DEI Statement

Cybersecurity is a community effort. That’s why we’re committed to building an inclusive, diverse community that celebrates and welcomes everyone - unless they’re a cybercriminal, of course.

We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Employer, and we’d encourage you to join us whatever your background. We particularly welcome applicants from traditionally underrepresented groups.
