• Act as a system administrator for AP software, leveraging its capabilities to the fullest.
• Contribute to the strategic evaluation and selection of a long‑term global AP solution.

• Strategic Leader: A proven ability to lead and mentor a team, while also contributing to strategic initiatives.
• Hands‑On Approach: A willingness to "dig into the details" of invoice processing and continuous process improvement in an entrepreneurial environment.
• Collaborative Spirit: A positive demeanor and strong interpersonal skills to thrive in a close‑knit office culture.
• System Savvy: Experience with ERP systems (e.g., MRI, Yardi) and invoice processing platforms (e.g., AvidXchange, Coupa, Nexus). The ability to quickly learn new systems is essential.
• Problem Solver: A track record of identifying and implementing solutions to enhance AP processes.
• Educational Background: A degree is preferred, or an Accounts Payable certification with demonstrated relevant experience.
