Accounts Payable Manager
United States (100% remote)
Ready to move from AP lead or supervisor to manager? This is the step up: a manager title, your own team, and a function that already runs well. The company builds software that millions of people use every day, and it’s an established, growing SaaS business with strong financial backing. The accounting team is remote across the U.S., leadership has long tenure, and managers here are known for developing people and giving them room to grow. People who join tend to stay. If you’ve been leading the day-to-day and you’re ready for the title and the ownership, read on.
About the role
You’ll lead an established team of about 5 AP professionals across the U.S. and international locations. The team is solid and the processes work, so you can focus on leading people and learning the role without rebuilding anything. You’ll report to an accounting leader who sets a high bar and is known for coaching new managers. You’ll also get a front-row seat on a major project: the company is choosing a new procure-to-pay platform, with rollout starting next year. You don’t need prior implementation experience; you’ll help shape it and lead your team through the change. Few AP leaders get that on their resume this early.
What you'll be doing
- Lead, coach, and develop a team of about 5, including hiring when seats open
- Own the full AP cycle: invoice intake, coding, approvals, payment runs, and vendor communication
- Keep the queue current and make sure vendors are paid accurately and on time
- Serve as first-level approver and maintain payment and banking controls
- Spot bottlenecks and improve processes with your team
- Help test and roll out a new procure-to-pay platform
- Step in hands-on when the team needs coverage
What you bring
- 4+ years of accounts payable experience
- 1+ year leading AP work as a lead, team lead, senior specialist, or supervisor, such as assigning work, training others, reviewing their output, or handling escalations
- Solid command of the full AP cycle, including payment runs and vendor setup
- Working knowledge of payment controls, such as verifying vendor bank changes
- Experience with an ERP and an AP or procure-to-pay tool; NetSuite or Coupa is a plus
- Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or business preferred; equivalent experience welcome
What sets our best people apart
- You own your work and don’t wait to be told what’s next
- People come to you for answers, and you enjoy helping them get better
- You communicate clearly and early, with your team and the rest of the business
- You want to grow into a strong people leader and are open to coaching
People who do well here have often been the go-to person on their AP team, trained new hires, or covered for their manager. Experience with a remote or multi-location team, or with a system rollout, is a plus but not required.
Why this role
- Your first manager title, with a team that’s already performing
- A leader who invests in developing new managers
- Hands-on experience with a major system change
- An established, well-funded company with long-tenured people and room to grow
