• Build and lead a high‑performing global team, including management of remote or regional staff.
• Establish and maintain global AP policies, procedures, and controls to ensure consistency, scalability, and compliance across NA, EMEA, and APAC.
• Develop a shared services or centre‑of‑excellence model where appropriate, aligned with overall finance transformation goals.
• Oversee global accounts payable functions, including invoice processing, payment execution, vendor management, and internal reporting.
• Analyse AP metrics (e.g. days payable outstanding, invoice cycle time, error rates) and continuously drive improvement through data and process optimisation.
• Design and implement efficient and accurate month‑end close processes, account reconciliations, and financial reporting related to payables.
• Leverage JD Edwards, Scanman, and other programs to improve automation, accuracy, and visibility across AP processes.
• Partner with IT and Finance to roll out Scanman to local territories, optimise system configurations, implement new modules, and ensure data integrity.
• Evaluate and integrate AP automation tools or complementary technologies (e.g. OCR, e‑invoicing, workflow tools) into the JDE ecosystem.
• Ensure compliance with global tax and regulatory requirements, including VAT, sales/use tax, and statutory reporting obligations.
• Own internal controls over AP processes and support internal/external audit requirements.
• Reduce risk through consistent application of payment terms, vendor vetting, and segregation of duties.
• Partner cross‑functionally with Procurement, Treasury, FP&A, Tax, and Legal to support broader finance and operational goals.
• Serve as administrator for travel and expense cards.
• Partner with Procurement on Concur management and expense reporting.
• Serve as a subject‑matter expert and trusted adviser on AP matters to senior leadership.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in Accounts Payable or Finance Operations, with 5+ years in a senior leadership role leading global or multi‑regional teams.
• Extensive experience with JD Edwards (JDE), ideally in a large, complex, multi‑entity multinational environment.

• Strong understanding of global regulatory and tax compliance requirements (VAT, 1099, use tax, etc.).
• Proven ability to lead change, implement technology solutions, and drive operational efficiency.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and stakeholder leadership skills.
• Ability to operate effectively across time zones and cultures.
• Experience in a shared services function or Global Business Services (GBS) model.
