Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Strategy

  • Lead a large, supervisor-led Accounts Payable function, setting priorities, performance expectations, service levels, and operating rhythms across teams.
  • Coach and develop team supervisors, build leadership capability, and ensure consistent execution, accountability, and decision-making across teams.
  • Partner with senior leaders on workforce planning, capacity management, and workload balancing to support business cycles, transaction volume, and evolving organizational needs.
  • Drive long-term functional effectiveness by identifying structural, process, and talent needs and implementing scalable solutions that improve performance.

Accounts Payable Operations & Expertise

  • Serve as the subject matter expert for carrier payable operations, including agency bill and direct bill processes, commission statements, premium remittance, reconciliations, and payment structures.
  • Oversee end-to-end Accounts Payable operations, ensuring accurate and timely processing of invoices, carrier payments, approvals, exceptions, and reconciliations.
  • Maintain strong controls, audit readiness, compliance, and fiduciary standards across payment workflows and premium trust-related activities.
  • Establish and monitor operational metrics, backlog status, quality trends, payment timeliness, and reconciliation performance to identify risks and drive improvement.

Process Improvement & Business Impact

  • Lead process improvement and system enhancement efforts that reduce manual work, strengthen controls, improve reporting, and increase accuracy and efficiency.
  • Use analytical tools, reconciliation models, and operational reporting to evaluate performance trends, identify root causes, and support data-driven decisions.
  • Interpret ambiguity and resolve complex, non-routine payment or reconciliation issues where clear precedent may not exist.
  • Partner with senior finance leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to communicate performance, influence priorities, and align on risks, opportunities, and improvement plans.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
  • Experience leading Accounts Payable, carrier payable, finance operations, treasury operations, accounting operations, or another complex high-volume payment function.
  • Experience managing through supervisors or people leaders, including responsibility for performance, coaching, workload management, and leadership development.
  • Experience leading or supporting high-volume finance, Accounts Payable, or carrier payable functions within a large, complex organization, including operating models that rely on supervisors or people leaders to support scale, growth, and increasing transaction complexity.
  • Strong knowledge of reconciliations, payment workflows, controls, compliance, audit readiness, reporting, and operational risk management.
  • Proven ability to lead major initiatives, solve complex business problems, influence senior stakeholders, and drive scalable improvements.

Skills

  • Strategic leadership and functional decision-making in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment.
  • Advanced analytical, problem-solving, and judgment skills, including the ability to interpret ambiguity and develop practical solutions.
  • Strong people leadership, stakeholder management, communication, and influencing skills.
  • Process improvement mindset with experience supporting automation, workflow redesign, reporting, and scalable operating practices.
  • Strong organization, prioritization, professionalism, and financial operations acumen.

Preferred Experience

  • Experience in a complex and fast paced insurance environment.
  • Experience integrating teams, processes, controls, or reporting following mergers, acquisitions, or organizational restructuring.
