Operate & Scale• Own the ongoing operation of the AP, T&E, and corporate card functions in a steady state, hitting SLAs for invoice processing, payment accuracy, and expense turnaround.• Manage month-end and period-end close activities for AP and T&E, ensuring accruals, reconciliations, and reporting are accurate and on time.• Design, implement, and own internal controls around the AP and T&E business processes.• Recruit, onboard, and lead an offshore team, developing the talent and structure needed to run the functions as the company scales.• Monitor key metrics and drive continuous improvement in process efficiency, controls, compliance, and employee experience over time.• Serve as the long-term owner of AP and T&E operations, partnering with the Director of AP & Partner Revenue Share on reporting, audits, and strategic priorities.
