• Oversee vendor master data integrity, payment terms compliance, and aging analysis.
• Ensure GRNI (Goods Received Not Invoiced) is reconciled and cleared on a defined cadence.
• Own month-end AP close, including accruals, cut-off testing, and sub-ledger-to-GL tie-outs.
• Contribute to cash flow forecasting and regular review of AP aging.

Balance Sheet & Accounting Cycle

• Partner with the Financial Controller on AP-related balance sheet accounts, including accruals, provisions, vendor-related prepayments, and intercompany payables.
• Ensure AP transactions correctly flow into IFRS-compliant reporting, including relevant IFRS 16 implications.
• Support statutory and internal audits with clean, audit-ready AP schedules.

• Manage integration points between OTM, Ertikaz, Shipsy, and the finance stack to ensure accurate cost flows into AP and GL.
• Lead or contribute to automation initiatives, including OCR/invoice capture, e-invoicing/ZATCA Phase 2 compliance, and workflow bots.
• Identify system gaps and manual workarounds and formalize required processes into SOPs.

Governance & SOPs

• Draft and maintain AP-related SOPs and control matrices covering approval hierarchies, segregation of duties, and exception handling.
• Enforce procurement-to-pay policy compliance and coordinate with Procurement, Operations, and HR on vendor onboarding controls.

Team & Stakeholder Management

• Supervise AP team members/clerks and review and approve payment batches.
• Liaise with vendors, operations, and cross-functional teams to resolve disputes and aging escalations.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field; CMA, CPA, or ACCA preferred.
• 6–10 years of progressive AP/finance experience, including a minimum of 2–3 years in a managerial or supervisory capacity.
• Experience in logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain is strongly preferred.

• Exposure to Ertikaz, OTM, Shipsy, or comparable logistics/customs systems is highly preferred.
• Demonstrated involvement in system implementation, ERP migration, or finance digital transformation projects.
• Strong IFRS knowledge, particularly around accruals and provisions.
• Familiarity with ZATCA e-invoicing requirements.
