AP Manager

Accounts Payable Manager

Dallas, TX | Direct Hire | Onsite

LHH is partnering with a large, established organization in Dallas seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Manager . This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who enjoys leading people, improving processes, and helping an established AP function become more efficient and automated.

The right person will be a true operational leader-not someone who manages only from a distance. You'll stay connected to the daily workflow, help the team work through escalations and bottlenecks, and ensure invoices, payments, and month-end responsibilities remain on track.

You'll lead a combination of local employees and offshore support while partnering with leaders across Finance, Treasury, Procurement, Tax, and IT.
What You'll Be Responsible For

• Leading daily accounts payable operations in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment
  
• Managing and developing onshore AP employees while coordinating priorities with an offshore support team
  
• Ensuring invoices, payment runs, vendor requests, and month-end activities are completed accurately and on time
  
• Monitoring AP workloads, aging, exceptions, and unresolved items to prevent backlogs
  
• Overseeing multiple payment methods, including ACH, wires, checks, and electronic payments
  
• Handling escalated vendor and internal business issues
  
• Maintaining strong controls surrounding payments, approvals, vendor changes, and sensitive banking information
  
• Supporting audits and ensuring AP documentation remains accurate and complete
  
• Using AP metrics and reporting to identify processing gaps and improve team performance
  
• Partnering with Treasury, Procurement, Tax, IT, and accounting leadership
  
• Improving AP procedures, controls, training materials, and team documentation
  
• Helping optimize Oracle Cloud Financials and related AP technology
  
• Leading automation and process-improvement initiatives designed to reduce manual work and increase scalability
  

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  
• 5+ years of progressive accounts payable experience
  
• At least two years of AP supervisory or team-lead experience
  
• Experience leading both internal employees and an offshore or outsourced team
  
• Strong understanding of the complete AP lifecycle, including PO and non-PO invoices, matching, vendor maintenance, payment processing, and month-end close
  
• Experience working with Oracle Cloud Financials, Oracle Fusion, or another large enterprise ERP
  
• Knowledge of SOX controls, segregation of duties, audit support, and payment-related risk
  
• Ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and meeting deadlines
  
• Strong people leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills
  
• Comfort using reporting and AP data to identify trends, bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement
  

Experience That Would Be a Plus

• Background supporting AP operations for a large or multi-entity organization
  
• Experience with invoice-capture technology, supplier portals, or touchless invoice processing
  
• Knowledge of vendor tax documentation and 1099/1042 reporting
  
• Experience with virtual cards, e-payables, or supply-chain finance programs
  
• Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous-improvement exposure
  
• Previous involvement in an ERP enhancement, AP automation, or finance-transformation project
  
• Interest in learning how AI and emerging technology can improve AP operations
  

Why Consider This Role?

This is an opportunity to lead an established AP operation while still having the ability to shape how it evolves. You'll have visibility with leadership, ownership of a critical finance function, and the chance to make measurable improvements through better workflows, stronger technology, and team development.

If you are a hands-on AP leader who can balance daily execution with continuous improvement, we'd like to hear from you
