T1 Energy is looking to hire a Manager, Accounts Payable to lead the AP function end-to-end: team leadership, procure-to-pay design, controls, automation, and month-end execution. You'll ensure invoices move efficiently, vendors are managed correctly, payments are controlled, and documentation stands up to audit scrutiny.

What You'll Do

• Lead the AP team, including workload planning, performance management, and daily operations.
• Own and continuously improve the Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process: vendor, onboarding, invoice intake, three-way match, coding, approvals, and exception handling.
• Design, execute, and document key AP controls (separation of duties, approval matrices, vendor master governance, payment authorization, reconciliations).
• Partner with Finance, Accounting, and IT to optimize ERP workflows and automation (e-invoicing, OCR, approval routing).
• Ensure clean and accurate AP accruals and reconciliations during month-end close.
• Strengthen vendor master governance, including W-9 collection, validation, banking controls, and audit trail integrity.
• Coordinate closely with Treasury on payment cadence, prioritization, and cash forecasting inputs.
• Oversee compliance and reporting (1099/1042 support, sales/use tax invoice support) and produce KPIs (aging, cycle time, discount capture, exceptions).
• Serve as AP subject-matter expert to Procurement and business stakeholders.

Who You Are

• Process-minded and control-driven without being bureaucratic.
• A strong people leader who sets high standards and holds them.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and scaling systems under growth.
• Clear communicator who can influence cross-functionally.
• Someone who takes ownership of outcomes, not just transactions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• 7+ years of progressive AP/P2P experience including 3+ years leading teams.
• Strong knowledge of AP controls, SOX requirements, and audit support.
• Demonstrated success improving cycle time, accuracy and control effectiveness.
• Advanced Excel skills and strong ERP experience (Oracle required).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
