• Support month-end close, accruals, and account reconciliations
• Strengthen internal controls and ensure compliance with company policies
• Lead ERP optimization and AP automation projects
• Support audit activities and process documentation

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of progressive Accounts Payable experience
• 2+ years of leadership or supervisory experience
• Manufacturing industry experience strongly preferred
• Experience with high-volume AP environments
• ERP experience required (Epicor, Infor, SyteLine, Global Shop, SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or similar)
• Experience with shared services, centralization efforts, or M&A integrations is highly desirable
• Proven success leading change management and process improvement initiatives
• Strong Excel, analytical, and problem-solving skills

Ideal Candidate We're looking for a working manager - someone who enjoys being in the details, leading by example, and driving execution. If you've successfully led AP teams through process improvements, ERP transitions, shared services initiatives, or organizational growth, apply today!
