About the role
Accountable for supervising invoice processing and for resolving exceptions across the payables queue. Allocates and checks others' work and owns exception resolution rather than clearing a single queue. Data and AI judgement sits in reviewing automated matching and AI invoice extraction for errors and leakage.
Also called Accounts Payable Team Leader
