Job description

Miro's Source-to-Pay team manages spend, mitigates third-party risk, and supports Mironeers across Sourcing, Procurement, AP, and T&E functions. We're at an inflection point: our 2-year vision commits to AI Investment Alignment, 2-Day Month-End Close, and Continuous Technological Advancement. To get there, we need a fundamentally different kind of AP Manager- one who builds as much as they operate.

About the Role

This is not a traditional AP management role. We're looking for someone who sees accounts payable as a technology problem as much as an operations challenge. You'll lead a team of AP specialists while simultaneously owning the automation and AI agenda for the function — evaluating tools, running implementations, and implementing solutions that move us toward an AP operation that supports a 2-day close process.

What you’ll do

• Own the 2-day close roadmap for AP: identify every manual step blocking it, build the automation plan, execute in Q4 2027 (Nov-Dec 2026) - this is your most visible first-year deliverable
• Lead the technology assessment for T&E
• Drive the invoicing rollout across required EU countries
• Implement AI-assisted invoice coding and PO matching; evaluate vendors, run implementations, measure automation rate uplift
• Build the AI readiness checklist for AP: clean data, electronic invoices, structured processes in place before AI agents are layered on
• Own NetSuite AP, ZipHQ AP and Navan T&E modules optimization and integration with P2P stack

Operations & Team Leadership (50%)

• Lead and develop a team of AP Specialists, including performance management, growth plans, and hiring
• Oversee end-to-end AP operations: invoice processing, payment runs, vendor management, month-end close
• Integrate T&E operations under AP, establishing unified processes for expense reimbursement and card programs
• Own AP KPIs: DPO, aging clearance, SLA adherence, first-pass match rate, automation rate
• Serve as escalation point for complex vendor issues and payment exceptions
• Ensure audit readiness and compliance with internal controls

What you’ll need

• 7+ years in accounts payable or finance operations, with at least 3 years leading AP transformation or automation initiatives
• Tech industry experience is a must for this role
• Demonstrated experience implementing AP automation tools (e.g., Ramp, Zip, Tipalti, Basware, Medius, or similar) — you've been the implementation lead, not just the end user
• Hands-on AI/ML tool evaluation experience: you know how to run a pilot, measure outcomes, and make a build-vs-buy recommendation
• Strong ERP background — NetSuite strongly preferred; experience with integrations and data architecture a plus
• People leadership experience: you've managed a team, navigated performance issues, and developed talent
• Change management skills — you know how to bring a skeptical team along on a technology transition
• Exceptional cross-functional communication; comfortable presenting tool recommendations to senior Finance and IT stakeholders
• Fluent English (written and spoken); global team experience a plus
• Experience with Navan, Zip, Tipalti, Ramp or JPM payment platforms is also a plus

What's in it for you

We want you to feel supported, connected, and ready to grow. Our global benefits package generally includes equity, a wellbeing benefit, a WFH equipment allowance, and an annual Learning & Development stipend. Join a diverse team where you can do your best work. Full benefits may differ per location. If you would like to learn more about location-specific benefits, please refer to our Global Miro benefits board.
