Director, Global Procure to Pay

The Director, Global Procure-to-Pay (P2P) leads the day-to-day design, operation and improvement of the end-to-end procurement and accounts payable processes across a global organization, reporting to the SVP, Procure to Pay. The Director turns the P2P redesign into practice: baselining the current-state process, building the target operating model and roadmap, closing control gaps, and delivering automated reporting. This role oversees the organization's shared service center operations in India and serves as the voice of the business in the financial process.

The successful candidate will bring strong leadership, project management, and change management capabilities, with experience designing and optimizing procurement and accounts payable organizations in a complex, multinational environment. This role will serve as a key partner to the Controller on accounting controls and account reconciliations, to the NetSuite team on the technology platform, and to Finance, Technology, and Business Operations leaders to deliver operational excellence, compliance, cost savings, and scalable growth.
