Responsibilities
- P2P Strategy & Operating Model: Define and execute the global P2P strategy, establishing a unified, scalable operating model that spans procurement operations and accounts payable across all geographies and business units.
- End-to-End P2P Automation (Intake → Payment): Own the full automation agenda across the procure-to-pay lifecycle — from intake and requisition through purchase order issuance, goods receipt, invoice processing, and supplier payment.
- AI-Driven Workflow Orchestration: Champion the deployment of AI and machine learning capabilities within the P2P stack — including intelligent routing, automated approvals, exception identification, and anomaly detection.
- Real-Time Spend Visibility & Financial Controls: Build and maintain a real-time spend management framework — providing leadership with current, accurate, and actionable visibility into committed spend, open obligations, and payment flows.
- Global Process Standardization at Scale: Lead the standardization of P2P processes across all global regions — eliminating fragmentation, localizing where legally required, and creating a single, consistent operating standard.
- Team Leadership & Organizational Development: Lead and develop a high-performing global P2P team spanning procurement operations and accounts payable.
Requirements
- 15+ years of progressive experience in procure-to-pay, procurement operations, or shared services, with at least 3–5 years in a senior leadership role.
- Proven track record designing and executing P2P transformation programs — including automation implementation, system rollouts, and operating model redesign — at global scale.
- Deep functional expertise across both procurement operations (requisition, PO management, supplier onboarding) and accounts payable (invoice processing, payment, reconciliation).
- Hands-on experience with enterprise P2P platforms and ERP systems (Zip, Coupa, Ariba, Concur, Emburse).
