Multitasking is normal, and sometimes, your skills or natural talents will be leveraged to support other business priorities. That said, the bulk of your working hours should involve you having to:

  • Ensure local compliance with tax regulations (e.g., VAT, GST, withholding tax), internal controls, and country-specific payment practices.
  • Oversee payment scheduling and cash flow forecasting across countries to meet payment obligations while optimizing working capital.
  • Maintain strong vendor and stakeholder relationships across markets to ensure service quality and issue resolution.
  • Standardize AP processes and drive automation and system enhancements across all supported countries.
  • Develop and monitor KPIs for AP performance by market (e.g., invoice cycle time, aging analysis, payment accuracy, etc.).
  • Support internal and external audits by providing documentation and ensuring audit readiness across jurisdictions.
  • Collaborate closely with local Finance, Procurement, and Operations teams to align on vendor setup, payment terms, and policy compliance.
  • Lead process improvement initiatives to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and service levels.
  • Promote a culture of accountability, service orientation, and continuous improvement within the department.
