Accounts Payable Team Lead, Denver
A day in the life
The Accounts Payable Team Lead provides functional leadership within Accounts Payable while independently owning accurate and timely execution of complex activities across the accounts payable lifecycle. The role coordinates priorities across invoice validation, purchase order matching, supplier operations, exception resolution, vendor communication, payment processing, and support for month-end and year-end close. This position partners with Accounts Payable, Procurement, Receiving, Property or Business Operations, Accounting, Treasury, technology teams, vendors, and internal customers to resolve issues and assess upstream and downstream impacts. Based in the Denver office with an onsite expectation of 1–2 days per week, the Team Lead serves as a trusted resource for colleagues, leads routine projects and process improvements, and supports consistent execution through change and ambiguity.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own end-to-end execution of complex accounts payable work across multiple assignment types, managing priorities, deadlines, and follow-up activities to meet accuracy and service-level expectations with limited guidance.
- Execute and review complex payment processes, including payment cycles, positive pay review, EDI transmissions, returned bank items, stale-dated checks, escheatment processing, open payables review, and 1099 reporting and filing.
- Process and review high volumes of purchase order and non-purchase order invoices, validating supplier, legal entity, invoice, currency, tax, coding, approval, matching, and supporting-document details.
- Research and resolve complex invoice, supplier, supplier portal, payment, reconciliation, and workflow issues; identify root causes and broader impacts, formulate solutions, make accountable decisions, and escalate risks or policy exceptions when needed.
- Monitor workflow queues, aging, rejected items, payment holds, and deadlines; coordinate with vendors, internal customers, management, and cross-functional partners to resolve issues and align execution.
- Analyze reports, data, and recurring issues to assess accounts payable processes and systems; lead routine improvements that reduce manual effort and rework, strengthen controls, and improve service and accuracy.
- Lead routine projects and contribute to complex initiatives, including system implementations, user acceptance testing, automation, documentation, training, and cross-training; support month-end and year-end close by researching and resolving assigned reconciling items, and provide coaching, feedback, and development support to team members when assigned.
