ABOUT THE ROLE We are a growing international distribution company headquartered in Suwanee, GA, and we're looking for an Accounts Payable Manager to lead our AP function through an exciting period of growth - including an upcoming ERP system implementation. Employee tenure here is exceptionally high, and we invest in people for the long term.
