Accounts Payable Lead / Senior AP Analyst

Location: Denver, CO (Hybrid Local candidates only)
Employment Type: Full-Time

Why AP Professionals Love This Role

This is not a “heads-down processing forever” AP job. This is a leadership seat within AP—designed for someone who knows the full AP lifecycle and wants influence, visibility, and ownership without leaving the work behind.

You’ll be the go-to AP expert, partnering closely with leadership during a department-wide modernization effort. Your experience will directly shape new processes, systems, and workflows—and your impact will be seen and valued.

What Sets This Opportunity Apart

  • High visibility & leadership exposure — work directly with department leaders to elevate AP operations

  • Real ownership — influence how work flows, how issues are prioritized, and how success is measured

  • Transformation role — help drive a system and process overhaul, not just follow it

  • Lean, collaborative team — your contributions matter and don’t get lost in the noise

  • Hybrid schedule with all equipment provided

Your Role as the AP Lead

As the AP Lead, you ensure nothing gets stuck. You keep work moving, issues surfaced early, vendors paid accurately, and the team supported with clear direction.

You’ll operate at a workflow-directing level, stepping in to process when needed, while owning higher-level AP problem solving and oversight.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and triage the AP workflow, assigning invoices and managing throughput across processors

  • Own complex AP functions including vendor statement research, past-due resolution, credit applications, and issue troubleshooting

  • Perform quality reviews of AP transactions; identify coding errors, support reclasses, and improve accuracy

  • Monitor team productivity using dashboards and Excel-based trackers; proactively flag risks or bottlenecks

  • Act as a trusted problem-solver for management by identifying issues early and driving solutions

  • Provide clear vendor prioritization guidance to keep payments, relationships, and cash flow on track

  • Serve as the AP subject-matter expert who understands the process end-to-end

How Your Time Is Spent

  • 30–40% — Invoice triage from shared AP inbox; assignment rules and workflow control

  • 30% — Past-due research, credit applications, reconciliations, and hands-on AP support as needed

  • 10% — Productivity tracking, reporting, and Excel-based data review

  • 10% — Vendor and issue prioritization guidance

What We’re Looking For

  • 5–7 years of full-cycle AP experience in a high-volume corporate environment (2,800–3,000+ invoices/month)

  • Experience working within large ERP systems (QuickBooks-only backgrounds will not be considered)

  • Ability to stay hands-on while primarily operating in a lead, oversight, and workflow-control role

  • Excel proficiency — working with trackers, data exports, VLOOKUPs, and PivotTables (creation not required)

The Ideal AP Lead

You bring calm, structure, and authority to AP. You like knowing where everything stands, keeping work moving, and making sure the department runs smoothly—even during change.
