Job Description

At KEENFINITY, we are a globally leading provider of innovative and professional security and communication solutions. With over 4,200 employees in over 50 countries worldwide, our ambition is clear: we offer more than just technology – we secure, connect, and amplify the moments that matter in life.

Next to our passion for technology we’re very passionate about our work environment. Based on values such as trust, appreciation, and accountability we all work together to shape the future – boldly, customer-focused and with a strong team spirit.

We are professionalizing our end‑to‑end finance processes, harmonizing SAP templates and establishing a global BPO model. In this role, you will actively shape how our future accounting landscape looks.

As Senior Accounting Manager (Invoice‑to‑Pay), you support the Global Process Owner (GPO) in managing, steering, and improving the end‑to‑end I2P process. You oversee execution by our external service provider, manage ECM workflow performance (OCR, AP queue, approvals, information requests), ensure accurate and timely SAP postings, and prepare invoices for payment runs.

You act as a central coordination point for suppliers, internal stakeholders, and the external delivery team. You ensure high quality, compliance, and efficient resolution of issues while driving continuous process improvement.

Invoice‑to‑Pay Governance & Process Excellence

• Ensure correct execution of the global I2P process: OCR validation, workflow routing, approvals (“send‑to‑employee”), SAP postings, and payment‑readiness checks
• Monitor compliance with global process standards, policies, ICFR controls, and documentation
• Support the GPO in identifying systemic issues, process deviations, and improvement needs

External Partner Steering (Accounts Payable Operations)

• Coordinate daily delivery with the external service provider and ensure SLA/KPI achievement
• Monitor aging, backlog, exception queues, and overall processing quality
• Drive escalations and ensure critical cases are followed up until full resolution
• Enable smooth collaboration between internal Keenfinity teams and the external operations team

Supplier and Internal Stakeholder Management

• Oversee the query management workflow handled by the external provider and ensure proper prioritization, timely responses, and closure
• Support supplier communication for missing data, disputes, invoice corrections, or payment clarifications
• Coordinate with Procurement, Plants, Controlling, and Business Units to secure approvals and information required to process invoices

ECM (Comarch) Workflow Management

• Manage end‑to‑end ECM workflows: OCR validation, AP queue review, workflow routing, exceptions, and approval bottlenecks
• Ensure data accuracy before SAP posting and payment scheduling
• Support system improvements, testing, workflow adjustments, and template updates

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Support preparation of performance dashboards (processing times, error rates, backlog, GR/IR issues)
• Identify improvement opportunities in automation, harmonization, or workflow efficiency
• Contribute to training materials, documentation, and best practice guidelines

Why This Role Is Attractive

• High‑impact position supporting the Global Process Owner directly
• Key role in stabilizing and professionalizing the global I2P process
• Cross‑functional exposure across Procurement, Finance, BPO, and Operations
• Real ownership in a fast‑moving, private‑equity‑backed Finance transformation
• Strong development path toward GPO Support Lead, AP Operations Lead, or Process Excellence roles

Qualifications

Your Profile

• Degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration or comparable field
• 5+ years experience in Invoice‑to‑Pay, Accounts Payable, AP Operations, Shared Services, or BPO environments
• Strong knowledge of AP workflows, 3‑way match, GR/IR, exception handling, and payment run processes
• Experience with ECM/workflow platforms (ideally OCR‑based systems such as Comarch)
• Solid SAP FI/MM knowledge required
• Ability to coordinate and steer external delivery teams
• Strong stakeholder engagement, communication, and problem‑solving skills
• Fluent English required; Portuguese is an advantage

Nice to Have

• Experience in BPO steering or vendor performance management
• Experience in SAP harmonization or S/4HANA preparation
• Knowledge of Procurement processes (P2P/I2P)
• Experience with ICFR or internal controls
