Accounts Payable (AP) Director – CONFIDENTIAL


Salary: $150,000–$160,000 base + bonus

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:


• Full mandate to rebuild an AP department that needs structure, controls, and leadership
• High visibility with the Controller, VP of Finance, and CFO
• Opportunity to assess, develop, and reshape a large AP team
• Exposure to many legal entities and bank accounts in a complex environment
• Hands‑on leadership role for someone who enjoys being in the work, not just managing it
• Backing from leadership and consultants to clean up data integrity and processes
• Stable, well‑funded organization committed to long‑term improvement
• Onsite role with decision‑making authority and same‑day interview process

Key Responsibilities for the Accounts Payable (AP) Director:


• Lead and manage daily operations for AP team
• Own data integrity, vendor master accuracy, reconciliations, and AP aging
• Oversee full‑cycle AP processing in a high‑volume, multi‑entity environment
• Partner with Accounting leadership on close, reporting, and vendor balance inquiries
• Identify workload inefficiencies and rebalance resources across entities
• Drive department stabilization, controls, and process improvements

Qualifications for the Accounts Payable (AP) Director:


• 7–10+ years of accounts payable experience in a multi‑entity environment
• 3+ years of people management with department rebuild or turnaround exposure
• Workday experience a strong plus (Supplier Accounts module)
• Strong understanding of how AP impacts financial reporting and the GL
