Description

We’re seeking an Accounts Payable Manager to lead and elevate the Accounts Payable function for a dynamic property management organization in Vancouver. This newly created position is focused on people leadership and strategic process improvement—only ~5% of your time will be hands‑on invoice processing. You’ll oversee a team of eight AP Specialists (plus one Supervisor), coach across performance levels, and partner with senior finance leaders on projects and best‑practice overhauls.
Key Responsibilities
People Leadership (≈80%)
Lead, mentor and develop an AP team of 8 Specialists and 1 Supervisor
Establish clear goals and performance metrics; deliver tailored coaching to high, mid‑ and low‑performers
Conduct regular one‑on‑ones, performance reviews, and team training sessions
Cultivate a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement
Process & Project Management (≈20%)
Review and document current AP workflows; identify pain points and areas for automation
Develop and present recommendations to senior stakeholders (including the Interim CFO and Controller support)
Lead ad hoc improvement initiatives—policy updates, system optimizations, control enhancements
Ensure robust controls and audit‑ready documentation; troubleshoot exceptions as needed
Operational Oversight (Minimal Hands‑On)
Maintain high‑level awareness of AP operations (≈800 invoices/week) and system performance (Yardi, Dynamics 365)
Step in for deep dives or audits to understand root‑cause of missed items
What We are Looking For
Experience: 5+ years in Accounts Payable, with 2+ years in a people‑management role
Leadership Style: Strong communicator and coach; adept at balancing autonomy with guidance; skilled in managing diverse personalities and performance levels
Technical Savvy: Comfortable with AP systems (Yardi, Dynamics 365, or similar); enthusiasm for automation and process digitization
Education: Post‑secondary diploma/degree in Business, Accounting or related discipline preferred; CPA not required
Soft Skills: Exceptional interpersonal skills, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to influence at all levels
Why You Will Love Working Here
Hybrid Flexibility: 3 days in our Vancouver office; 2 remote days; flexible start/end times
Supportive Leadership: Direct engagement with senior finance leaders on strategic initiatives
Career Growth: Opportunity to shape and scale a best‑in‑class AP function under the corporate accounting umbrella
Collaborative Culture: Join a team that values open communication, innovation, and professional development
