JOB ID: 721390BRDate posted: Mar. 19, 2026*Description:** The Banking and AP Controls Manager provides enterprise oversight and end-to-end accountability for the governance, execution integrity, and risk management of banking and payment operations within the Procure to Pay (PTP) function. The role defines and executes the operating and control strategy for payment processing, supplier master data governance, and Accounts Payable (AP) control activities, ensuring timely, accurate, and compliant PO and non-PO disbursements in alignment with enterprise standards, disbursement schedules, regulatory requirements, and working capital objectives.

The role partners with Invoice Processing, Vendor Inquiries, Supply Chain, IT, and Treasury to translate finance strategy into a resilient and scalable payment operations model and to advance end-to-end PTP transformation priorities.
