You might thrive in this role if you: * Bring 8+ years of experience in Accounts Payable or Accounting, including 3+ years leading teams or programs across both Indirect and Direct spend types. * Have thrived in high-growth, scaling environments, balancing long-term process design with hands-on execution. * Offer deep technical proficiency in 2-/3-way match, PO discipline, tax handling (sales/use/VAT), and month-end close (accruals, reconciliations). * Have designed and automated AP workflows, leveraging ERP/AP automation, OCR, approval routing, and RPA-and are willing to get hands-on during volume spikes. * Maintain a strong controls mindset aligned to SOX, and can confidently partner with Accounting, Procurement, FP&A, and Supply Chain. * Have hands-on experience with tools like Oracle Fusion, Zip, Navan, VNDLY, Brightflag, Jira, or similar enterprise platforms-especially in integrated environments. * Have proven experience across Indirect and Direct spend, ideally in high-growth, scaling environments-you're comfortable building for the future while handling the demands of today.
