• 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.
