What You’ll Bring to the Team
Proven 7+ experience owning an AP function end-to-end at a global or multinational company, specifically as function owner, not just executor, with accountability for the full P2P and T&E lifecycle
A track record of fixing a broken procurement or P2P process; you’ve navigated cross‑functional resistance, driven adoption, and left the process measurably better
Deep ownership of AP GL accounts, including balance sheet reconciliations and accruals, with a clear understanding of how PO data quality affects the close
Experience building AP metrics and dashboard infrastructure from scratch; you’ve designed the reporting, not just consumed it
Hands‑on experience with modern AP/P2P platforms such as ZipHQ or equivalent, a T&E tool such as Navan, and corporate card management (Mesh, Ramp, Brex, Concur, or similar)
Experience managing a distributed team across geographies and timezones, with a demonstrated ability to develop people you don’t see in person every day
Exposure to SOX compliance and IPO readiness in an AP or finance operations context; you understand control documentation, segregation of duties, and what audit‑ready looks like
