• Establish AP policies, procedures, service standards, and performance expectations.
• Lead, develop, and mentor the AP team while building accountability, cross-training, and succession planning.
• Maintain strong controls around vendor setup, invoice approvals, payment authorization, duplicate payments, segregation of duties, and system access.
• Partner with Accounting and Treasury on payment schedules, cash requirements, banking activity, vendor terms, and working capital opportunities.
• Oversee AP-related close activities, reconciliations, accruals, aging, account analysis, and audit support.
• Support 1099 reporting and applicable sales and use tax requirements.
• Provide leadership for corporate travel, employee expense reimbursement, and corporate card programs.
• Develop and monitor KPIs covering productivity, service levels, processing accuracy, controls, and expense activity.
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve workflows, expand automation, and better leverage AP and expense-management technology.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field, or a combination of education and directly relevant experience.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in accounts payable, travel and expense, or related finance operations.
• 5+ years of leadership experience.
• Experience managing high-volume AP operations within a large or complex organization.
• Strong understanding of accounts payable processes, internal controls, financial close requirements, expense management, 1099 reporting, and applicable tax considerations.
• Experience developing KPIs and managing operational performance at a leadership level.
• Demonstrated success improving processes and implementing or enhancing AP, workflow, expense-management, or automation technologies.
• Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work effectively across departments and with senior leadership.
• High level of integrity, judgment, discretion, and accountability.
• Preferred: Experience with large or multi-entity organizations, ERP platforms, invoice workflow systems, expense-management technology, corporate card programs, electronic payments, automation, and data analytics.
