You are responsible for a wide range of senior activities in Accounts Payable, such as invoice handling, intercompany reconciliations and flow management, resolving booking issues, vendor and intercompany communication, handling requests, vendor payments, and supporting or leading improvements, projects and analyses. Moreover, you act as a functional lead, process expert, spokesperson and coach within Vendor Operations, supporting standardization, automation and continuous improvement of the Purchase-to-Pay process.

  • Support Vendor Operations management with projects, analysis, and strategic initiatives, including providing ad-hoc reports, analysis, and insights to support decision-making
  • Participate in and lead process redesign, improvement, documentation, automation, and training initiatives, while determining root causes of errors and driving structural improvements with relevant stakeholders
  • Perform and oversee reconciliations of assigned accounts and intercompany balances, ensuring timely resolution of discrepancies
  • Execute and coordinate in-depth month-end closing activities, provide reporting to stakeholders, and maintain hands-on involvement in operations (invoice posting, matching, payment processing, supplier communication)
  • Create and respond to ServiceNow tickets to ensure high-quality issue resolution and request fulfillment within your sphere of control

Education and experience

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent) in accounting, finance, or business administration; professional certification is a plus
  • 6+ years of experience in a financial AP environment with a strong Accounts Payable track record
  • Experience with SAP preferred; Oracle or similar ERP systems are a plus
  • Experience with invoice scanning/automation tools (e.g., Basware) is a plus
  • Accounting, reconciliation, budgeting, planning and analysis experience
  • Experience in a multinational environment is a plus

Skills

To thrive in this role, you will need the following skills:

  • In-depth knowledge of Excel, MS Word, Outlook, PowerPoint and Teams, with additional Microsoft tools like OneNote and Whiteboard as a plus, combined with strong written and verbal communication skills in English and the ability to operate in an international environment
  • Excellent customer service skills with strong vendor relationship management capabilities, combined with accountability and the ability to balance multiple stakeholders effectively
  • Strong ownership, confidence, and a drive for continuous improvement, with the ability to challenge the status quo constructively to achieve optimal results
  • Ability to work with tight (periodic) deadlines and manage peak workloads effectively while maintaining quality
