In the posting’s own words
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.
