We are seeking a transformational International Accounts Payable Manager to modernise our International AP operations — evolving from a transactional function into an automated, data-driven capability that partners closely with Domestic AP leadership to deliver a seamless global experience. This role also serves as senior business owner and relationship manager for our outsourced Procure-to-Pay (P2P) service provider, representing P2P leadership and driving governance, performance, and continuous improvement. A highly visible role in a fast-moving, high-growth environment demanding agility and operational excellence.

The impact you will have:

• Lead international AP operations across regions, currencies, entities, and regulatory environments, ensuring accurate, timely, compliant processing
• Develop and execute an International AP strategy with Domestic AP leadership, standardising processes while meeting local compliance needs
• Partner with Finance, Procurement, and Strategic Sourcing on P2P, cash management, supplier experience, and M&A/expansion activities
• Own the relationship with the outsourced P2P provider, setting governance frameworks (KPIs, SLAs, QBRs, escalations) and holding them accountable for performance and quality
• Lead vendor governance routines — reviews, risk mitigation, capacity planning, roadmap alignment — while driving automation and cost efficiency with the provider
• Ensure outsourced operations maintain strong controls, audit readiness, and data integrity
• Partner cross-functionally (Finance, Procurement, Treasury, Tax, HR, Technology) to reimagine AP through automation, AI, and process redesign
• Drive transformation initiatives that cut manual effort, improve cycle times, and strengthen controls, championing continuous improvement
• Use data and analytics (Databricks platform) to surface trends, risks, and opportunities
• Maintain strong controls, SOX compliance, and policy adherence, including international tax, VAT/GST, and withholding rules; own e-invoice regulation strategy
• Track KPI/SLA performance (cycle time, accuracy, aging, exceptions, satisfaction) and lead escalation management
• Lead and develop the International AP team, building a culture of accountability, collaboration, and strong change management

What we look for:

• 12+ years of progressive AP/Finance Operations leadership experience, including significant international AP oversight
• A Chartered Accountant degree is mandatory
• Proven experience managing outsourced AP/P2P service providers in complex operating environments, with a strong vendor governance and accountability track record
• Proven experience leading large-scale AP transformation, automation, and shared services initiatives
• Strong understanding of international AP operations, compliance requirements, and multi-entity environments; experience in fast-paced, high-growth organisations
• Demonstrated success implementing AP technologies, ERP platforms, OCR/invoice automation, and AI-enabled solutions
• Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, leadership, and stakeholder management skills, with a proven ability to lead organisational change across cross-functional teams
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or related field preferred; CPA or advanced degree a plus
• The role will require overlap working with PST hours.
