About You

We are seeking a strategic, high-visibility Accounts Payable Manager to lead the international accounts payable operations supporting one of our high-growth business units focused on hardware procurement, distribution, and sales. This prominent role offers direct exposure to senior leadership, global cross-functional teams, and key external stakeholders.

The successful candidate will manage a distributed international team of AP specialists, oversee complex multi-currency and multi-jurisdictional invoice processing for a high volume of hardware vendor invoices, ensure exact inventory-linked payables, and drive significant process improvements and efficiencies tailored to the business unit’s fast-paced environment. In this capacity, the individual will play a key role in scaling revenue growth by enabling faster supplier cycles to support increased procurement and sales volume, and championing initiatives that transform AP from a cost center into a strategic driver of financial efficiency and business expansion.

What you’ll do and how you’ll have an impact

- Direct the end-to-end international accounts payable operations dedicated to the business unit, managing extremely high-volume invoice receipt, multi-currency validation, global coding/approvals, payment execution, and reconciliations primarily for hardware vendors.




- Lead, mentor, and develop an international team of AP specialists across multiple countries, time zones, and cultures—ensuring alignment on business unit-specific standards, fostering collaboration, driving performance excellence, and delivering ongoing training and knowledge sharing.
- Manage inventory-related global invoicing workflows, including multi-currency vendor statement reconciliations and resolution of international discrepancies.
- Execute and optimize cross-border payments in multiple currencies and ensuring compliance with diverse international payment methods and regulations relevant to the business unit.
- Serve as the primary escalation point and maintain strong relationships with global hardware vendors, senior procurement, and regional teams to resolve complex cross-border issues efficiently.
- Lead monthly/quarterly/yearly AP close processes, including multi-entity reconciliations, aged payables analysis, and contributions to consolidated financial reporting.
- Partner closely with the business unit’s global Procurement, Inventory, Order Management, Receiving, Tax, and Finance leadership to resolve mismatches, and streamline order-to-pay cycles specific to the unit’s operations.
- Champion high-impact initiatives such as AP automation, global process standardization,



and workflow enhancements tailored to the business unit’s high-transaction volume and growth objectives.
- Provide regular KPI reporting and actionable insights on the business unit’s international AP performance (e.g., cycle times, error rates, DPO by region) to senior leadership.
- Support business unit financial closes, internal/external audits, system implementations/upgrades, and strategic cross-functional projects.

What we’re looking for

- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field; CPA or equivalent international certification a plus.
- 6+ years of progressive accounts payable experience, with at least 3 years in a managerial role leading AP functions.
- Proven experience managing fully international AP operations, including multi-currency processing.
- Strong background in high-volume invoice processing (ideally 1,000+ invoices/month or more), particularly in hardware, technology distribution, manufacturing, or industries with complex global supply chains for physical goods.
- Expertise in inventory-related international payables and three-way matching in global contexts.
- Proficiency with ERP systems supporting multi-entity/multi-currency operations (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and global AP automation platforms (e.g., Coupa, AvidXchange, Tipalti, HighRadius).
- Exceptional leadership, communication, and team management skills to effectively guide distributed international teams and collaborate with worldwide stakeholders.
- High attention to detail, strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and proven capacity to manage complexity in a fast-paced, deadline-driven global setting.
