Job description

Description

Enthusiast Auto Holdings (EAH) is a highly successful eCommerce company in the automotive parts industry. EAH goes to market via ten enthusiast focused websites - ECS Tuning, Turner Motorsport, Pelican Parts, Rennline, Texas Speed & Performance, Z1 Motorsports, Z1 Off-Road, RCI Off-Road, Evannex and Teqsport. EAH serves automotive enthusiast customers who are passionate about how their vehicle looks and performs, by providing the parts, content, knowledge and support to make their vehicle come to life. We also serve a global network of specialty installer shops that solve for customers looking for a "Do it For Me" option. Led by a strong leadership team, EAH generates market leading profitability and has experienced high rates of organic growth, including through and following the pandemic. The company has also successfully grown through multiple acquisitions.


EAH is owned and supported by Cortec Group, a premier private equity firm, Cortec has invested millions of dollars to expand EAH's operations, facilities, technology, and leadership. EAH has recently completed a significant facility expansion at its primary distribution center and is in the process of implementing enterprise-level ERP / WMS / OMS systems.


THE POSITION

The Director of Accounts Payable will lead and unify the accounts payable function across all of EAH's banners, while serving as the primary driver of A/P standardization, automation, and integration into EAH's Finance Center of Excellence (COE). The ideal candidate will have proven experience leading a multi-entity A/P organization, ideally including the implementation of an A/P automation platform and/or an ERP migration. The Director must be effective operating independently - building and standardizing processes across multiple business units - and must partner closely with the EAH Corporate Controller and CFO to align the company's A/P people, processes, and systems with EAH standards.


The Director of Accounts Payable will report to the Corporate Controller, in close partnership with the CFO. The role will be based at EAH's corporate offices, with periodic travel to banner and distribution-center locations as needed to support standardization and system rollouts.


RESPONSIBILITIES

A/P Leadership & Standardization (Primary Focus)

  • Serve as the senior leader and primary owner of the accounts payable function across all EAH banners, establishing a unified, centralized A/P organization within the Finance COE.
  • Evaluate each banner's existing A/P processes, policies, and internal controls, and standardize them into a single set of A/P policies and procedures consistent with EAH standards and the COE operating model.
  • Document current-state A/P processes and controls across banners and deliver a written plan for aligning them to a common EAH standard.
  • Partner with the Corporate Controller and CFO to standardize invoice processing, three-way matching, approvals, and disbursement practices across all banners.

Automation & Systems Transformation

  • Lead the selection, implementation, and company-wide adoption of a third-party A/P automation platform - invoice capture, automated matching, approval routing, and payment execution.
  • Redesign and document A/P workflows to maximize automation and minimize manual effort, retiring legacy and manual processes as the COE rolls out.

Accounts Payable Operations (Multi-Banner)

  • Own end-to-end A/P for a high-volume eCommerce environment across multiple entities - invoice intake, coding, three-way match (PO / receipt / invoice), approvals, and disbursement (ACH, wire, and check).
  • Manage complex vendor scenarios, including prepaid international vendors, inbound freight and landed cost, and partial receipts, ensuring prepaids are matched and relieved accurately and timely.
  • Own vendor master-data integrity and vendor onboarding controls, including validation and fraud-prevention safeguards.
  • Drive working capital efficiency through disciplined management of vendor payment terms and disbursement timing.

Controls, Compliance & Close

  • Establish and own A/P metrics and early-warning controls - aging of unvouchered receipts and open payables, received-not-invoiced (RNI), exception reporting, and productivity by team and entity.
  • Ensure A/P is complete and current at each monthly close, owning A/P and prepaid account reconciliations, including aged reconciling-item review and sign-off.
  • Develop and enforce strong internal controls to protect company assets, and support internal and external audits, quality-of-earnings reviews, and lender reporting with audit-ready documentation.

Team Leadership & Development

  • Build, lead, and develop a centralized A/P team; recruit, coach, and set clear performance expectations.
  • Implement cross-training to eliminate single-person dependencies and ensure continuity across all essential A/P functions.
  • Partner effectively with banner operations, purchasing / supply (S&P), logistics, and treasury to resolve purchase variances and improve upstream processes.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The Director of Accounts Payable will be responsible for and evaluated regarding their success in the following key areas:

  • Standing up a unified, well-controlled A/P function across all banners within the first year.
  • Establishing and enforcing consistent A/P controls, policies, and chart-of-accounts treatment across banners.
  • Building a cross-trained, resilient team with no single-person dependencies.
  • Driving working capital efficiency through improved reporting and forecasting of disbursements.
  • Partnering with Purchasing / Supply to reduce purchase variances and improve invoice-to-pay cycle times.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated track record leading a multi-entity accounts payable organization, ideally including A/P automation and/or ERP implementation experience. Required experience includes:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or a related discipline
  • Minimum 8 years of accounts payable experience, including 3-5+ years leading an A/P team at the manager or director level
  • Demonstrated experience owning A/P across multiple entities or business units, ideally in high-volume eCommerce, retail, or distribution
  • Proven track record building A/P controls, metrics, and process standardization
  • Experience in a private-equity-backed or multi-brand portfolio environment strongly preferred
  • History of driving continuous process improvement (automation, standardization, close cycle, KPI reporting)
  • Advanced Excel skills, with comfort managing large data sets
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build trust across multiple business units
  • Excellent analytical and organizational skills
  • Detail-oriented, ensuring impeccable quality of work
  • Self-motivated and self-directed
  • Unquestioned ethics and integrity
