A well-established, high-volume manufacturing organization is seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Supervisor to step into a hands-on leadership role within a fast-paced and collaborative finance environment. This is a working supervisor position — equal parts team leader and individual contributor — ideal for someone who takes pride in both developing people and rolling up their sleeves to get the work done alongside them. The AP team is a blend of tenured employees and newer team members, creating a rich opportunity to mentor, standardize, and elevate the function from within. The incoming supervisor will have the benefit of a structured knowledge transfer from the outgoing supervisor, ensuring a thoughtful and well-supported transition into the role.

This role offers meaningful cross-functional exposure across a well-run finance organization, and the right candidate will find ample opportunity to leave their mark on how the AP function operates going forward. Those who bring deep AP expertise, a natural leadership presence, and the ability to thrive in a high-volume, detail-intensive environment will find this a rewarding and stable place to grow. Successful completion of background, drug, and reference checks required!
