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 precise 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 environment.

At AppDirect, we believe that innovation thrives in an environment that houses diversity of excellence, experience and thought.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
