Disbursements Supervisor 

Reports To: Accounts Payable Technology & Transformation Manager 

Department: Shared Services Center (SSC) – Accounts Payable 

Team: Disbursement & Payment Controls Team  

Scope: U.S. operations; responsible for all payment proposal processing, Treasury coordination, positive pay, and disbursement controls across business units 
Team: 6 

 

Role Summary 

The Disbursements Supervisor manages Meriton’s centralized AP disbursement operations; overseeing payment proposals, bank interfaces, and Treasury coordination to ensure that every dollar is released accurately, timely, and securely. 

 

This role safeguards one of the company’s most critical financial control points, acting as the bridge between Accounts Payable, Treasury, and Controllership. The Supervisor governs all payment workflows in D365 F&O and ExFlow, ensures compliance with approval hierarchies and SoD policies, and drives automation in payment processing and cash reconciliation. 

 

As Meriton scales rapidly, this position plays a key role in maintaining control assurance while enabling process scalability and system-driven automation, ensuring AP disbursements can grow by multiples without linear increases in headcount. 

 

Shared Services & Scale Priorities 

• Control Assurance: Maintain a high-integrity disbursement process with 100% compliance to policy, SoD, and banking controls. 

• Operational Resilience: Oversee daily payment cycles and coordinate with Treasury to ensure cashflow forecasts are accurate and release timing aligns with funding availability. 

• Automation & Efficiency: Implement process improvements and automation for payment proposal generation, approvals, and reconciliation. 

• Scalability: Create a standardized, system-driven disbursement framework that can support multi-entity, multi-bank operations. 

• Audit Readiness: Maintain complete documentation of approvals, payment logs, and system evidence for audit sampling and financial review.

• Validate completeness, accuracy, and compliance of payment proposals prior to Treasury release. 

• Coordinate with Treasury to ensure appropriate funding, timing, and positive pay submission.

• Resolve rejected payments, duplicates, and exceptions in collaboration with AP Operations and Vendor Master teams. 

Banking Interface & Controls 

• Maintain and monitor all disbursement file integrations with Treasury systems. 

• Enforce dual-approval controls and segregation of duties for payment authorization. 

• Run daily control reports for positive pay, duplicate payments, and exception flags. 

• Liaise with Treasury on fraud prevention initiatives and bank control testing. 

• Ensure compliance with banking mandates, including user access and digital signature protocols. 

Automation & Process Optimization 

• Partner with the AP Technology Supervisor to design and test automation scripts for payment proposal generation and reconciliation. 

• Evaluate opportunities to reduce manual review through rule-based validation, RPA, or AI-based exception handling. 

• Document and maintain all process maps, SOPs, and control narratives for payment processing. 

• Support UAT and regression testing for system upgrades affecting disbursement workflows. 

Reporting & Analytics 

• Maintain payment performance dashboards (volume, timing, error rate, exception trends) in Power BI. 

• Provide disbursement cycle data for Treasury’s daily cash position reporting. 

• Analyze recurring issues and develop corrective action plans. 

Audit & Compliance 

• Prepare payment support documentation for internal and external audits. 

• Maintain traceable evidence for all disbursement approvals, rejections, and overrides. 

• Participate in quarterly internal controls testing and policy reviews. 

 

Cross-Pillar Collaboration 

• With Treasury: Synchronize cash releases, bank interface testing, and positive pay validation. 

• With AP Operations: Ensure readiness of invoices for payment and manage exceptions. 

• With Vendor Master & Controls: Validate vendor bank data, prevent duplicates, and enforce setup accuracy. 

• With Controllership: Support month-end reconciliations and cashflow reporting. 

• With AP Technology & Transformation: Implement automation and reporting enhancements. 

 

Qualifications 

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration. 

• 5–7 years of experience in Accounts Payable or Treasury Operations, with 2+ years in a supervisory or lead capacity. 

• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft D365 F&O, ExFlow, and banking file integrations. 

• Understanding of SoD, positive pay, and payment authorization controls. 

• Proficient in Excel and Power BI; SQL knowledge preferred. 

• Exceptional attention to detail, documentation discipline, and ability to manage large volumes in high-control environments.
