Procure To Pay Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

This role sits at the core of financial accuracy, operational integrity, and vendor trust. As transaction volumes scale and systems become more interconnected, the business requires disciplined ownership of the Procure-to-Pay lifecycle to ensure data precision, controlled spend, and timely financial reporting.
The P2P / Accounts Payable Analyst is responsible for identifying and resolving the friction points that create financial leakage-invoice discrepancies, mismatched contracts, missing transactions, and cross-system inconsistencies. Success in this role means clean books, predictable close cycles, minimized aged payables, and a finance organization that operates with confidence in its data.
This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in complexity, understands how operational data connects to financial outcomes, and takes accountability for solving issues at their root-not just processing transactions.What you'll do1. Execute end-to-end Procure-to-Pay operations

• Own invoice processing across PO and non-PO workflows, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with internal controls
• Manage invoice capture, approval routing, and validation across high-volume environments
• Ensure financial transactions are properly recorded and aligned with contractual and operational inputs

2. Resolve discrepancies and drive exception management

• Investigate and resolve invoice discrepancies including pricing variances, quantity mismatches, and duplicate billing
• Analyze PO exceptions, unmatched invoices, and approval workflow breakdowns
• Own invoice exception tracking, escalation, and resolution to protect payment accuracy and timing

3. Lead reconciliations and ensure data integrity

• Perform vendor statement reconciliations to identify missing invoices, unapplied credits, and outstanding liabilities
• Analyze AP aging to resolve overdue balances and ensure accurate liability reporting
• Conduct cross-system reconciliations across ERP, settlement platforms, and operational systems
• Validate financial data to ensure integrity across accounting and operational reporting

4. Support financial close and reporting accuracy

• Contribute to month-end close with reconciliations, accrual support, and variance analysis
• Identify and resolve reconciling items to ensure timely and accurate close cycles
• Perform financial variance analysis and provide clear explanations tied to operational activity
• Support internal and external audit processes through documentation and data validation

5. Improve systems, processes, and automation

• Identify inefficiencies in P2P workflows and drive process standardization
• Partner with Finance and IT to enhance ERP and invoice processing systems
• Develop scalable solutions to reduce manual intervention and improve throughput
• Implement controls and process improvements that prevent errors upstream

5. Ensure contract compliance and financial accountability

• Review vendor invoices against contracts, lease agreements, and service terms
• Validate settlement deductions, maintenance expenses, and operational charges
• Ensure alignment between contractual pricing and recorded financial transactions
• Flag inconsistencies that impact cost recovery, expense accuracy, or financial reporting

What you bring

• 2-3 years of experience in Procure-to-Pay, Accounts Payable, Accounting, Finance, or a related function
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field preferred
• Strong experience with PO-based (2-way match) and non-PO invoice processing environments
• Demonstrated ability to perform complex reconciliations and resolve financial discrepancies
• Experience working across multiple systems (ERP, settlement platforms, operational databases)
• Proficiency in financial systems such as SAP, AS400, Concur, Coupa, or similar tools
• Working knowledge of month-end close processes, accruals, and audit support
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret financial and operational data together
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate cross-functionally
• High attention to detail with the ability to manage competing priorities in fast-paced environments
• Preferred: experience with cross-system reconciliation involving driver settlements, transportation systems, or operational finance data

How you operate

• You own outcomes and follow issues through to resolution
• You proactively identify risks instead of reacting to errors
• You move with urgency but maintain precision and control
• You challenge inconsistencies with data-backed insights
• You communicate clearly across Finance, Operations, and Procurement
