Accounts Payable Supervisor

LA28 does not provide relocation assistance for any positions. If you are based outside the Los Angeles area, we still welcome your application — we value talent from all geographic backgrounds and want to hear from you if you are able to work on-site in LA. 

Role Purpose 

LA28 is preparing to welcome the world to the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and dependable financial operations are fundamental to making that possible. As Accounts Payable Supervisor, you will own the day-to-day accounts payable function, ensuring that invoices, expense reports, and payments are processed accurately and on schedule. You will help shape the processes and controls a rapidly expanding Finance team requires, collaborating with approvers, vendor partners, and colleagues. This is hands-on, detail-driven work with direct, measurable impact on how effectively every other team can deliver. 

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the shared accounts payable inbox, triaging incoming invoices and vendor inquiries so that documentation is captured promptly and items are resolved. 

• Review and process supplier invoices in Workday, partnering with approvers to confirm each transaction is validated and approved before payment is authorized. 

• Examine employee expense reports for accuracy and policy alignment, resolving exceptions so reimbursements are processed on a predictable schedule. 

• Prepare and reconcile the weekly payment runs, verifying amounts, payment terms, and timing before any funds are released to vendors. 

• Collaborate with vendor partners and internal stakeholders to investigate discrepancies, maintain audit-ready records, and strengthen accounts payable controls as the organization scales. 

Required Competencies 

• 4+ years of accounts payable and accounting experience. 

• Experience working with Accounts Payable in an ERP environment. 

• Detail-oriented, with demonstrated ability at problem-solving. 

• Ability to work independently to resolve issues. 

• Well-developed communication skills and interpersonal skills, both oral and written. 

Valued Experience

• A service-oriented approach to guiding internal and external stakeholders, including vendor partners. 

• A flexible, adaptable approach suited to an organization that is growing and evolving. 

• Demonstrated commitment to co-creation and collaborative decision-making.

• A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, preferred, or relevant work experience. 

What We Offer

• A historic, once-in-a-generation opportunity to contribute directly to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

• Broad exposure across Finance, vendor partnerships, and cross-functional teams that develops durable, transferable capabilities. 

• A collaborative and inclusive team where success is shared and pride is earned through meaningful contribution. 

• Real ownership of a core financial operation, with scope and responsibility that expands as LA28 grows. 

What This Role Means for the Games 

Every athlete, venue, and delivery partner ultimately depends on LA28 meeting its financial obligations accurately and on schedule. By keeping accounts payable running cleanly and predictably, you allow the teams creating the Games to concentrate on delivery rather than administrative friction. It is quiet, essential work that underpins a once-in-a-generation Olympic and Paralympic Games.
