• Serve as the functional owner and administrator of the procure-to-pay technology stack, including NetSuite, Ramp, and FloQast, driving automation, integrations, and process standardization across systems.
• Partner with Treasury and Accounting on cash management and disbursement planning, monitoring bank balances and payment timing across banking platforms to support cash flow forecasting and working capital management.
• Establish and report on AP and procurement KPIs (e.g., DPO, on-time payment rate, discount capture, spend under management), and partner with cross-functional and executive stakeholders on budgeting, audit support, and spend visibility.
