Original job description
About us
Nexomer Engineered Materials (G-3 Chickadee) is a standalone specialty chemicals manufacturer with production sites in Houston and Beaumont, Texas, and an R&D center in Akron, Ohio. Following our carve-out from a global manufacturer, we are building our own finance organization and implementing SAP S/4HANA, with go-live planned for mid-2027. This is a rare chance to shape a finance function from day one: the processes, controls and team you build will be the ones the company runs on. About the role Build and lead our accounts payable, accounts receivable and credit team as these processes move in-house onto S/4HANA. You will set up the processes, controls and metrics, and run day-to-day operations from go-live. We are standing up S/4HANA with no legacy SAP team in place to train or support new hires, so we need people who have already done this work in S/4HANA and can operate independently from their first week. What you will do
- Lead a team of AP Specialists, an AR & Revenue Accountant and a Credit & Collections Analyst
- Own invoice processing (including OpenText VIM), payment proposals and payment runs, with Treasury releasing payments
- Own cash application, lockbox processing exceptions, customer clearing and rebates with the AR team
- Oversee credit management and collections; report DSO, DPO, aging and past-due metrics
- Design desk procedures, segregation of duties and controls for AP, AR and credit
- Lead AP/AR testing, cutover and hypercare for the S/4HANA go-live
What you will bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance
- 8+ years in AP, AR and/or credit, including 3+ years leading a team
- 3+ years of hands-on SAP S/4HANA AP/AR experience: automatic payment program, supplier invoice processing, bank statement and lockbox processing, and credit management
- Experience setting up or transitioning shared-service processes into a standalone team
Nice to have
- OpenText VIM administration
- SAP S/4HANA FSCM Credit Management
- Manufacturing B2B environment with rebates and EDI customers
Why join us
- Build it right the first time: a new S/4HANA system, new processes and a new team, with real influence on how they are designed
- Visible, high-impact role reporting into a lean, hands-on finance leadership team
- Competitive base salary, annual bonus and a full benefits package
