About the role:

You will own the end-to-end Procure-to-Pay (P2P) function, spanning Procurement Operations, Accounts Payable, supplier onboarding, and payments. You will set the governance model and service standards, partner with executive stakeholders, and build a team that delivers consistently.

In this role, you will:  

• Own end-to-end P2P performance, from requisition and PO through receipt, invoice, approval, payment, and accrual, and align every tower (Procurement, AP, Supplier Management, Payments, Close) to one operating model
• Establish and enforce operational governance: policies, controls, SLAs/KPIs, approval matrices, and audit readiness (SOX), with regular performance reviews
• Ensure accurate, timely processing of requisitions, POs, and invoices, and the completeness of accruals and liability reconciliations for the financial close
• Design supplier onboarding and master-data standards, with attention to risk, compliance, and payment integrity
• Own payment-run integrity, including approval controls, banking batch oversight, and fraud and duplicate-payment prevention
• Resolve escalated payment and process issues, and use root-cause research to prevent repeat issues
• Partner with suppliers, Procurement, Finance, Legal, IT, and business stakeholders to define and deliver the automation and transformation roadmap
• Report on P2P performance using defined KPIs (touchless invoice rate, on-time payment, cycle time, exception rate, DPO) and optimize working capital through payment terms and early-pay discounts
• Oversee supplier risk, contract and PO compliance, and spend visibility across the vendor base
• Manage change by rolling out policy, process, and system updates with clear stakeholder communication and adoption tracking
• Elevate customer satisfaction across internal stakeholders and suppliers by owning the service experience, measuring CSAT/NPS, and acting on feedback
• Deliver quarterly business reviews with senior and executive stakeholders, presenting performance, risks, and the improvement roadmap
• Hire, develop, and coach a high-performing team, and hold every team member to a consistent standard through documented processes, training, performance calibration, and clear accountability
• Build the training, onboarding, and succession plans that keep team capability uniform across locations
• Model and embed Samsara’s values as the team scales globally

Minimum requirements for the role:

• 10+ years in procure-to-pay, AP, or procurement operations, including 5+ years managing teams and managers
• Demonstrated end-to-end P2P expertise across multiple towers, with the ability to align cross-functional dependencies
• Track record of running operational governance: SLAs, KPIs, internal controls, and audit/SOX compliance
• Experience owning a team budget, managing vendor relationships, and managing remote, cross-time-zone teams
• Experience developing and presenting executive-level QBRs and improving stakeholder satisfaction
• Proven ability to develop, train, and calibrate teams to a uniform standard
• ERP experience (NetSuite preferred) plus a P2P platform such as Zip, Coupa, or Ariba
• Bachelor’s in accounting, finance, business, or supply chain
• Preferred: APM, CPSM, CPA, or equivalent

An ideal candidate also has:

• The ability to solve complex problems with simple solutions
• A history of being a collaborator, strategic thinker, and influencer
• Experience scaling P2P operations in a high-growth, multi-entity, and multi-currency environment
• Lean Six Sigma or similar process-improvement credentials, with automation and AI experience
