and vendor and branch inquiries — and help the team adapt as needs, systems, and priorities evolve. - Progressive AP experience, including ownership of complex or high-volume payment processes. - Solid knowledge of AP controls, invoice validation, PO matching, approval workflows, reconciliations, payment processing, and vendor management. - Strong analytical ability: validate numbers, spot inconsistencies, investigate root causes, and turn findings into action. - Experience improving AP processes or implementing workflow, reporting, ERP, automation, or AI-enabled tools is a strong asset. - Clear communication — able to explain financial information simply to branch teams, vendors, and junior staff. - Direct supervisory or team-lead experience in accounts payable. - Excellent attention to detail, organization, judgment, and follow-through, especially around deadlines and high-value payments. - Post-secondary education in accounting, finance, business, or a related field is preferred; equivalent practical experience will be considered. - A learning mindset and comfort working in an environment where priorities and processes continue to evolve.
