Lead - Procure to Pay
We’re looking for a high-impact AP Lead to own and scale global Accounts Payable operations. This role goes beyond transaction processing — you will drive automation, controls, stakeholder experience, and operational excellence across the invoice-to-pay lifecycle. You’ll partner closely with Finance, Procurement, Tax, Treasury, and Systems to build a world-class AP function.
What You’ll Do
- Own end-to-end AP operations across geographies: invoice intake, 2/3-way match, approvals, payments, and vendor experience
- Drive SLA adherence, reduce invoice aging, and improve cycle time through proactive follow-ups and process design
- Act as the primary escalation owner for complex vendor, business, and banking issues
- Lead global payment runs (ACH, Wire, SEPA, international payments) and manage wire returns and bank queries
- Own vendor master data governance (bank validation, tax compliance, duplicates, SOX controls)
- Partner with IT/Systems on automation (OCR/ML accuracy, workflow optimization, system integrations)
- Own AP metrics and dashboards; present insights and risks to Finance leadership
- Lead continuous improvement, root cause analysis, and SOP standardization
- Play a key role in transformation initiatives (I2P, vendor portal, Brex, Zip, automation roadmap)
- Coach and develop AP analysts; build scalable operating models
- 9–12+ years of progressive AP experience in a global, high-volume environment
- Strong hands-on experience with ERP (ZIP/NetSuite preferred) and AP automation tools
- Proven experience managing stakeholders across Finance, Procurement, Tax, IT, and Treasury
- Deep understanding of PO / Non-PO processing, 2-way / 3-way match, accruals, FX, and controls
- Experience driving process improvement, automation, and change management
- Strong ownership mindset with ability to lead without authority
- Excellent communication and escalation management skills
