Sitting within the Accounting department and working closely with Procurement and P2P teams, you will act as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders and external vendors on payment queries, vendor registration, Ivalua system navigation, and S2P compliance. In this role, you will help ensure vendors are correctly set up in Ivalua, perform quality checks on procurement data, monitor blocked or overdue invoices, and support business users in following Procurement and Finance policies. By improving data accuracy, reducing invoice friction, and championing process adherence, you will directly impact payment timeliness, operational efficiency, and financial compliance. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving operational issues, collaborating across departments, and ensuring procurement processes run smoothly at scale. What You'll Do

Handle PR/PO‑related queries via ticketing systems, chats, and training sessions, ensuring timely, accurate support for business stakeholders. Work closely with Accounts Payable, Vendor Enablement, PayOps, and vendors to resolve overdue invoices and prevent future payment delays. Monitor and follow up on blocked invoices to ensure they are resolved and paid within agreed terms. Track and report on Non‑PO invoices, partnering with teams to reinforce No‑PO‑No‑Pay policy compliance and ensure PRs are raised where needed. Own and resolve tickets across multiple categories, proactively managing the "New" queue and taking responsibility outside of standard allocations. Perform analysis on trends, exceptions, or deviations in assigned Procurement/P2P areas and communicate insights to stakeholders. Ensure monthly and quarterly SOX and non‑SOX controls are completed, documented, and aligned with Finance policies. Support the Global Senior Manager Procurement and Team Lead with operational tasks, reporting, and process improvements. Act as a role model by demonstrating company values and supporting the development of colleagues. Execute ad‑hoc tasks related to Procurement and Purchase Order operations as required.
