Position Summary

A-Line Staffing is now hiring a Senior AP Deployment Specialist in Boise, ID. This role serves as a dedicated Accounts Payable (AP) Operations representative supporting a global invoice intake and processing transformation program.

The Senior AP Deployment Specialist will represent AP Operations throughout the deployment lifecycle, including discovery, process reviews, business requirement validation, user acceptance testing (UAT), deployment readiness, go-live, hypercare, and stabilization. This position works closely with country AP teams, transformation specialists, change management and training leads, project teams, and technology partners to ensure future-state solutions are practical, sustainable, compliant, and aligned with real-world AP operating requirements.

Key Responsibilities

1. Discovery and Country Requirements

• Participate in country discovery workshops, process walkthroughs, and design discussions.
• Demonstrate and explain current-state AP processes, controls, approval workflows, exception handling, and operational practices.
• Identify country-specific legal, tax, regulatory, compliance, language, and operational requirements.
• Validate that local requirements are accurately understood and documented.
• Assess operational impacts associated with proposed future-state processes.

2. Process Validation and Future-State Readiness

• Review and validate Process Design Documents (PDDs), business requirements, process flows, controls, exception scenarios, and operating procedures.
• Ensure future-state processes reflect AP operational requirements and business realities.
• Evaluate how future-state processes will be operated, supported, and governed after deployment.
• Identify operational gaps, support needs, ownership requirements, and adoption risks.
• Validate that future-state solutions are scalable, sustainable, and practical for long-term AP operations.

3. Business Validation and User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

• Develop end-to-end UAT scenarios and business test scripts based on real AP activities, controls, and exception-handling requirements.
• Prepare and maintain business test data.
• Execute UAT and validate solutions against approved business requirements.
• Confirm that business outcomes are achieved, not simply that system functions operate.
• Identify defects, process gaps, usability concerns, operational impacts, and business risks.
• Support defect triage, retesting, and business sign-off activities.

Note: System Integration Testing (SIT) is performed by implementation and development teams. This position focuses on business validation and UAT activities.

4. Deployment Readiness and Go-Live Support

• Support deployment planning, readiness assessments, cutover activities, and country go-live preparations.
• Confirm operational readiness across users, controls, work instructions, exception-handling procedures, and support processes.
• Coordinate readiness activities with country AP teams.
• Validate user preparedness and operational readiness before deployment.
• Support business go-live activities and the transition into production operations.

5. Hypercare and Stabilization

• Act as an AP user during go-live and hypercare activities.
• Support issue identification, investigation, prioritization, escalation, and resolution.
• Monitor user adoption, operational effectiveness, exception trends, and process performance.
• Support the transition from project deployment to steady-state AP operations.
• Validate that AP teams are prepared to own and sustain future-state processes.

6. AP Operations and Continuous Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve process effectiveness, user experience, controls, and operational efficiency.
• Capture lessons learned and support continuous improvement for future deployment waves.
• Promote standardized global processes across countries.
• Support AP adoption of intelligent automation and future AI-enabled capabilities.
• Provide operational feedback to guide solution enhancements and future country rollouts.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Supply Chain, Information Systems, or a related discipline.
• 8+ years of experience in Accounts Payable, Procure-to-Pay (P2P), Shared Services, Finance Operations, or AP transformation initiatives.
• Strong understanding of invoice processing, approval workflows, exception management, controls, and payment readiness processes.
• Experience participating in UAT, deployment, go-live, hypercare, or operational improvement initiatives.
• Strong analytical, communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to work effectively across global teams and multiple countries.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SAP ECC and/or SAP S/4HANA.
• Experience supporting ERP, invoice processing, workflow, or automation deployments.
• Exposure to intelligent document processing, workflow automation, robotic process automation (RPA), or AI-enabled finance solutions.
• Experience supporting global or multi-country transformation programs.
• Experience in Shared Services or Global Business Services organizations.
