Job Description:

Are you a people-first leader who thrives in complex environments and feels energized by building strong teams, scalable processes, and smarter ways of working? We’re looking for a forward-thinking Accounts Payable Manager who can lead across a multi-entity organization, elevate performance through automation and KPIs, and strengthen the month-end close and accrual process—all while fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves when needed but spends the majority of their time leading leaders, optimizing systems, and driving sustainable improvement. You’ll play a key role in shaping a high-performing AP function by standardizing processes, leveraging Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365), and developing a team that takes pride in accuracy, ownership, and service.

Job Responsibility:

Lead and oversee the Accounts Payable function across a multi-entity environment
Develop, coach, and support AP Supervisors and senior staff
Own AP operations within Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365)
Partner cross-functionally with Accounting, Treasury, Procurement, FP&A, and branch leadership
Support and drive month-end close activities
Apply Lean and continuous improvement principles to standardize processes
Define, monitor, and act on AP KPIs
Lead automation and system enhancement initiatives
Serve as escalation point for complex AP issues
Ensure compliance with internal controls, company policies, and accounting standards (US GAAP)
Champion a culture where doing it right the first time is viewed as essential

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field required
6+ years of progressive accounts payable experience
3+ years in a leadership or people-management role
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word)
Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) or similar ERP system strongly preferred
Demonstrated experience supporting month-end close, accruals, reconciliations, and cutoff procedures
Familiarity with Lean principles required
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification or demonstrated process improvement experience strongly preferred

Nice to have:

You think in systems and processes, not just transactions
You build teams that communicate clearly, follow through, and take ownership of client outcomes
You use data and KPIs to drive decisions and continuous improvement
You’re comfortable navigating complexity across entities, teams, and stakeholders
You balance service excellence with strong controls and policy adherence
You’re proactive, adaptable, and energized by building something better than what existed before
