  • Strengthen compliance and governance by supporting SOX reporting, monitoring system permissions, and ensuring AP and buying operations are executed in alignment with internal controls and policy requirements.
  • Partner with outsourced AP teams to monitor daily operations, review quality metrics, identify gaps, and reinforce best practices.
    Monitor and analyze key performance indicators, including Tungsten (CSP) invoice transmission metrics, exception trends, and aging reports.
    Manage and resolve daily AP escalations from business partners, vendors, and outsourced teams.
    Lead the vendor statements reconciliation project, ensuring timely follow‑up on discrepancies, ageing visibility, and vendor engagement.
    Support payment processes releasing manual bank payments in alignment with internal controls.
    Collaborate cross‑functionally with Procurement, Treasury, Finance Technology, and vendors to resolve systemic issues and support process improvements.
