Accounts Payable Manager

About the Team Miro's Source-to-Pay team manages spend, mitigates third-party risk, and supports Mironeers across Sourcing, Procurement, AP, and T&E functions. We're at an inflection point: our 2-year vision commits to AI Investment Alignment, 2-Day Month-End Close, and Continuous Technological Advancement. To get there, we need a fundamentally different kind of AP Manager— one who builds as much as they operate. About the Role This is not a traditional AP management role. We're looking for someone who sees accounts payable as a technology problem as much as an operations challenge. You'll lead a team of AP specialists while simultaneously owning the automation and AI agenda for the function — evaluating tools, running implementations, and implementing solutions that move us toward an AP operation that supports a 2-day close process.
