Who Are We?
We are a strategic recruitment agency specializing in connecting skilled professionals with top employers across Canada and the United States. Our holistic approach ensures that both technical and cultural alignment leads to long-term success for everyone involved.
Why Are We Looking for You?
We are supporting a growing organization in hiring a Manager, Accounts Payable to lead and transform its AP function.
This role is best suited to someone who sees Accounts Payable as more than a transactional function. You understand how strong processes, technology, data, controls, and leadership can turn AP into a more strategic and valuable business partner.
This is not a role focused solely on maintaining existing processes or managing day-to-day transaction volumes. Our client is looking for an innovative AP leader who will challenge the status quo, identify what is no longer working, and introduce better ways of operating.
You will assess the current AP environment, modernize processes, strengthen systems and controls, and build a more efficient, scalable, and data-driven function. You will also lead the team through change, create accountability, and ensure that improvements are successfully adopted and sustained.
What’s In It for You?
- Assess the current Accounts Payable environment to identify inefficiencies, process gaps, control risks, and opportunities for modernization
- Develop and execute an AP transformation roadmap that supports the organization’s continued growth
- Redesign workflows to improve efficiency, accuracy, scalability, and the experience of internal teams and vendors
- Identify and implement opportunities for automation, system optimization, standardization, and reduced manual intervention
- Challenge outdated practices and introduce innovative approaches based on AP and finance best practices
- Establish meaningful KPIs and service-level expectations to measure performance, processing times, accuracy, and transformation outcomes
- Use AP data to uncover trends, bottlenecks, recurring issues, and opportunities for improvement
- Lead AP workstreams during ERP implementations, system upgrades, and technology transitions
- Strengthen internal controls and compliance standards while maintaining practical and efficient processes
- Build clear policies, procedures, documentation, and accountability across the AP function
- Partner with Finance, Procurement, Operations, Technology, and business leaders to implement cross-functional improvements
- Lead the team through change by communicating expectations, building buy-in, and ensuring new processes are successfully adopted
- Coach and develop employees while creating a capable, accountable, and improvement-focused team
- Ensure transformation initiatives move beyond recommendations and deliver measurable, sustainable results
What Do You Bring? - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related field
- Five to eight years of progressive AP or accounting experience, including at least three years in people leadership
- Proven experience transforming or significantly improving an AP or finance function
- Experience with process redesign, automation, ERP implementation, or system optimization
- Strong understanding of AP operations, internal controls, compliance, and best practices
- Ability to challenge existing processes and turn improvement opportunities into practical solutions
- Strong change leadership, communication, and influencing skills
- Experience developing KPIs, dashboards, and performance measures
- Advanced Excel and strong analytical skills
- A proactive, innovative, and accountable leadership style
