Accounts Payable Manager

About the Team Miro's Source-to-Pay team manages spend, mitigates third-party risk, and supports Mironeers across Sourcing, Procurement, AP, and T&E functions. We're at an inflection point: our 2-year vision commits to AI Investment Alignment, 2-Day Month-End Close, and Continuous Technological Advancement. To get there, we need a fundamentally different kind of AP Manager— one who builds as much as they operate. About the Role This is not a traditional AP management role. We're looking for someone who sees accounts payable as a technology problem as much as an operations challenge. You'll lead a team of AP specialists while simultaneously owning the automation and AI agenda for the function — evaluating tools, running implementations, and implementing solutions that move us toward an AP operation that supports a 2-day close process. What you’ll do Technology & Transformation (50%) - Own the 2-day close roadmap for AP: identify every manual step blocking it, build the automation plan, execute in Q4 2027 (Nov-Dec 2026) — this is your most visible first-year deliverable - Lead the technology assessment for T&E - Drive the invoicing rollout across required EU countries - Implement AI-assisted invoice coding and PO matching; evaluate vendors, run implementations, measure automation rate uplift - Build the AI readiness checklist for AP: clean data, electronic invoices, structured processes in place before AI agents are layered on - Own NetSuite AP, ZipHQ AP and Navan T&E modules optimization and integration with P2P stack Operations & Team Leadership (50%) - Lead and develop a team of AP Specialists, including performance management, growth plans, and hiring - Oversee end-to-end AP operations: invoice processing, payment runs, vendor management, month-end close - Integrate T&E operations under AP, establishing unified processes for expense reimbursement and card programs - Own AP KPIs: DPO, aging clearance, SLA adherence, first-pass match rate, automation rate - Serve as escalation point for complex vendor issues and payment exceptions - Ensure audit readiness and compliance with internal controls What you’ll need - 7+ years in accounts payable or finance operations, with at least 3 years leading AP transformation or automation initiatives - Demonstrated experience implementing AP automation tools (e.g., Ramp, Zip, Tipalti, Basware, Medius, or similar) — you've been the implementation lead, not just the end user - Hands-on AI/ML tool evaluation experience: you know how to run a pilot, measure outcomes, and make a build-vs-buy recommendation - Strong ERP background — NetSuite strongly preferred; experience with integrations and data architecture a plus - People leadership experience: you've managed a team, navigated performance issues, and developed talent - Change management skills — you know how to bring a skeptical team along on a technology transition - Exceptional cross-functional communication; comfortable presenting tool recommendations to senior Finance and IT stakeholders - Fluent English (written and spoken); global team experience a plus - Experience with Navan, Zip, Tipalti, Ramp or JPM payment platforms is also a plus What's in it for you We want you to feel supported, connected, and ready to grow.
