Application Deadline:

4/17/2026 The Opportunity DAT is seeking a battle-tested Accounts Payable Manager who thrives in high-pressure environments and is ready to OWN our AP function. This is not a "maintenance" role. We operate with a rigorous 3-day month-end close and face daily "fire drills" that require immediate action, expert communication, and total accountability. You will be the primary point of contact for both internal stakeholders and external vendors, treating both as vital customers of the AP department.

What You'll Do High-Velocity Financial Operations:

• Execute a 3-day month-end close with 100% accuracy.

Prepare and manage previous day cash reports to ensure real-time visibility for leadership. Manage complex intercompany reconciliations, ensuring all balances across subsidiaries are accurate and eliminated properly. Daily Ownership & "Fire Drills": Serve as the front line for all AP-related emergencies. You are expected to identify, address, and resolve issues (the "fire drills") daily without the need for constant escalation.

Complex Reconciliations:

• Lead the end-to-end virtual and physical credit card reconciliation process.

Track, record, and reconcile all prepaid expenses and related accruals. Perform deep-dive reconciliations for AP and related general ledger accounts.

Acquisition & System Integration:

Play a lead role in the financial integration of newly acquired entities, harmonizing their AP policies with our public-company standards.

ERP System Implementation:

We are currently in the process of a Netsuite implementation, and this role will be instrumental in the implementation and data migration process. You will serve as a key stakeholder, providing crucial input to lead the design and configuration of the AP function within the new system. Stakeholder & Vendor "Customer Service": Maintain a high level of professional communication, treating internal departments and external vendors as customers. Resolve payment discrepancies and inquiries with urgency and a service-oriented mindset.

Department Leadership:

Lead and mentor the AP team (including AP Clerk), overseeing daily processing of invoices, payments (ACH, wire, checks), and expense reports. The Skills and Experience You'll Bring 8+ years of direct, hands-on AP experience in high-volume environments. 4+ years of accounting/bookkeeping experience with a rock-solid understanding of debits, credits, and GAAP.

Public Company Experience:

Prior experience with a 3 or 4-day close and the associated reporting rigors is highly preferred.

Software Proficiency:

Demonstrated experience with Tier 1 or Tier 2 ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and automation tools like Stampli or Tropic. The "Owner"

Mindset:

Exceptional organizational and time-management skills; you are someone who sets the pace rather than following it.

Resilience:

Proven ability to remain calm and effective in a fast-paced environment characterized by daily shifting priorities and "fire drills". Why DAT? DAT is an award winning employer of choice.
