JOB SUMMARY:

The Lead Accounts Payable Associate is the primary operational support and designated backup to the AP Supervisor. The position helps coordinate daily AP execution, balances work across the team, monitors service levels and exceptions, reviews complex or higher risk transactions, and provides training and quality support. The role maintains hands-on ownership of critical AP processes while increasing the AP Supervisor's capacity to perform department-management responsibilities, including controls, acquisition support, stakeholder management, systems improvement, staffing, and performance oversight.

This is a lead individual-contributor position. It provides functional direction and operational coordination but does not independently perform formal performance management, compensation decisions, disciplinary actions, final payment approval, or other responsibilities reserved for the AP Supervisor, Controller, or authorized approver.
