Accounts Payable Manager

About the Team

Miro's Source-to-Pay team manages spend, mitigates third-party risk, and supports Mironeers across Sourcing, Procurement, AP, and T&E functions. We're at an inflection point: our 2-year vision commits to AI Investment Alignment, 2-Day Month-End Close, and Continuous Technological Advancement. To get there, we need a fundamentally different kind of AP Manager— one who builds as much as they operate.

About the Role

This is not a traditional AP management role. We're looking for someone who sees accounts payable as a technology problem as much as an operations challenge. You'll lead a team of AP specialists while simultaneously owning the automation and AI agenda for the function — evaluating tools, running implementations, and implementing solutions that move us toward an AP operation that supports a 2-day close process.

What you’ll do

Technology & Transformation (50%)

- Own the 2-day close roadmap for AP: identify every manual step blocking it, build the automation plan, execute in Q4 2027 (Nov-Dec 2026) — this is your most visible first-year deliverable

- Lead the technology assessment for T&E

- Drive the invoicing rollout across required EU countries

- Implement AI-assisted invoice coding and PO matching; evaluate vendors, run implementations, measure automation rate uplift

- Build the AI readiness checklist for AP: clean data, electronic invoices, structured processes in place before AI agents are layered on

- Own NetSuite AP, ZipHQ AP and Navan T&E modules optimization and integration with P2P stack

Operations & Team Leadership (50%)

- Lead and develop a team of AP Specialists, including performance management, growth plans, and hiring

- Oversee end-to-end AP operations: invoice processing, payment runs, vendor management, month-end close

- Integrate T&E operations under AP, establishing unified processes for expense reimbursement and card programs

- Own AP KPIs: DPO, aging clearance, SLA adherence, first-pass match rate, automation rate

- Serve as escalation point for complex vendor issues and payment exceptions

- Ensure audit readiness and compliance with internal controls

What you’ll need

- 7+ years in accounts payable or finance operations, with at least 3 years leading AP transformation or automation initiatives

- Tech industry experience is a must for this role

- Demonstrated experience implementing AP automation tools (e.g., Ramp, Zip, Tipalti, Basware, Medius, or similar) — you've been the implementation lead, not just the end user

- Hands-on AI/ML tool evaluation experience: you know how to run a pilot, measure outcomes, and make a build-vs-buy recommendation

- Strong ERP background — NetSuite strongly preferred; experience with integrations and data architecture a plus

- People leadership experience: you've managed a team, navigated performance issues, and developed talent

- Change management skills — you know how to bring a skeptical team along on a technology transition

- Exceptional cross-functional communication; comfortable presenting tool recommendations to senior Finance and IT stakeholders

- Fluent English (written and spoken); global team experience a plus

- Experience with Navan, Zip, Tipalti, Ramp or JPM payment platforms is also a plus
