• Partner with Treasury on funding, approvals, and payment scheduling.
• Monitor AP aging and resolve discrepancies in partnership with AP Operations.
• Maintain and enforce SOPs, ensuring alignment with outsourced partners.
• Lead issue resolution, closing the loop with stakeholders and communicating updates proactively.
• Collaborate closely with the APAC AP Manager and AP Operations Manager for seamless global execution.
