The Senior Director of Procure to Pay (P2P) is a senior operational and strategic leader responsible for owning the global P2P engine — spanning procurement operations, third party risk and onboarding, accounts payable, financial controls, and the systems and automation infrastructure that tie them together. This role will transform P2P from a transactional function into a scalable, intelligent operating model: automating end-to-end workflows from intake through payment, deploying AI-driven orchestration for approvals and exception handling, and establishing real-time spend visibility and controls across all third-party spend. The impact you will have: P2P Strategy & Operating Model Define and execute the global P2P strategy, establishing a unified, scalable operating model that spans procurement operations and accounts payable across all geographies and business units. Build and own the P2P transformation roadmap, prioritizing initiatives across automation, AI-driven workflow orchestration, systems modernization, and process standardization.

Serve as the executive voice of the P2P function, translating operational performance into clear narratives and strategic recommendations for CFO and cross-functional leadership. End-to-End P2P Automation (Intake → Payment) Own the full automation agenda across the procure-to-pay lifecycle — from intake and requisition through purchase order issuance, goods receipt, invoice processing, and supplier payment. Lead the design, deployment, and continuous optimization of automated workflows that eliminate manual effort, reduce cycle times, and increase throughput without adding headcount. Pa
