We are looking for an experienced AP and Procure-to-Pay Consultant to support a Long-term Contract opportunity in Greensboro, NC. This position will focus on strengthening accounts payable and procure-to-pay operations by reviewing current practices, improving workflow performance, and putting scalable processes in place. The ideal candidate brings a practical approach to operational improvement, strong cross-functional partnership skills, and hands-on experience with Ariba-driven environments.

Responsibilities:

• Review the full accounts payable and procure-to-pay lifecycle to uncover delays, control weaknesses, and opportunities to improve execution.
• Refine operational workflows spanning requisitions, purchase orders, receiving, invoice handling, approval routing, payment activity, and supplier coordination.
• Work closely with teams across Finance, Accounting, Procurement, IT, Tax, Supplier Master Data, and Accounts Payable to address process issues and align on effective solutions.
• Examine Ariba-related and transactional data to identify patterns, measure performance, and recommend meaningful operational enhancements.
• Support Ariba optimization efforts through troubleshooting, workflow adjustments, and targeted process improvement initiatives.
• Reinforce compliance, standardization, and internal control practices across accounts payable and broader procure-to-pay activities.
• Develop and maintain clear process documents, workflow diagrams, operating procedures, and reference materials to support consistency.
• Lead practical improvement initiatives that raise accuracy, efficiency, and long-term sustainability of AP and P2P operations.
• Guide issue resolution and stakeholder adoption to help ensure new processes remain effective beyond the initial engagement.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, Supply Chain, or a related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience managing accounts payable and end-to-end procure-to-pay activities, including purchase orders, receipts, invoice processing, approvals, payments, and supplier interactions.
• Proven ability to assess existing operations, identify process gaps, and implement workflow improvements that increase efficiency and control.
• Hands-on experience with Ariba, including troubleshooting, data review, workflow enhancement, and process optimization.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret data, spot trends, and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional partners such as Finance, Accounting, Procurement, IT, Tax, Supplier Master Data, and AP teams.
• Solid documentation, workflow mapping, communication, and problem-solving capabilities; exposure to controls or indirect tax considerations is a plus.
• Prior experience in a Manager, Senior Manager, or more advanced AP, Procurement, or Finance Operations role is strongly preferred, along with Ariba implementation exposure.
