Requirements
Skills
- 7+ years in vendor master or AP operations with 3+ years of ownership
- Owned a vendor master in an ERP end-to-end — process, controls and data — across multiple entities and countries
- Hands‑on experience verifying bank details and preventing payment fraud: bank letters, independent callbacks, BEC red flags, international bank formats
- Experience with vendor tax documentation: W-9/W-8 validation, TIN matching, VAT/GST IDs, 1099 flagging
- Working knowledge of procure-to-pay controls — segregation of duties, maker-checker, change logs, audit evidence — and have performed or owned a SOX control
- Led a vendor data cleanup, consolidation or ERP migration and can show the outcome
- The confidence to hold the line with requesters, vendors and senior stakeholders under time pressure while staying clear and helpful
- Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills with large datasets (dedupe, lookups, reconciliations) and exceptional attention to detail
Responsibilities
- Run intake for every new vendor and payee: validate completeness, collect and verify supporting documentation, and enable records in the ERP backbone system against agreed service levels
- Validate supporting documents; set 1099-reportable and tax flags correctly
- Confirm third-party risk and restricted-party screening before activation
- Set up one-time and non-vendor payees with the right record type rather than forcing them through full onboarding
- Partner with TPRM and IA teams on control requirements and continuous process improvement
- 1099 annual reporting
- Own every bank‑detail setup and change; validate against a bank letter on letterhead or an approved equivalent (void checks, etc.)
- Run independent callbacks per policy using contact details sourced independently of the request, and record the evidence
- Validate international bank formats and addresses (IBAN, SWIFT/BIC, ABA, SEPA, BSB, IFSC, Japanese bank/branch codes)
- Identify and escalate business‑email‑compromise attempts and other payment‑fraud red flags
- Maintain vendor structure: parent/child and remit‑to relationships, entity and country records, contacts and payment terms
- Lead vendor consolidation: eliminate duplicate vendors and bank accounts, execute merges and inactivations in batched, logged, reviewed changes
- Run periodic health reviews for dormant vendors, stale bank letters, missing tax forms and incomplete records; drive 1099 and TIN readiness for year‑end
- Own periodic vendor deactivation campaigns
- Own the vendor‑master SOX controls as the named control owner: maker‑checker on every create and change, change‑log review, evidence retained on every record
- Prepare the periodic review of bank‑detail changes paid, and address Internal Audit and external auditor requests
- Partner with Finance Systems to design and maintain ERP security roles so vendor master, invoicing and payments stay separated
- Flag any suspicious vendor set‑up activity through the appropriate channels
- Own vendor‑master documentation, intake checklists, requester guidance and service levels
- Serve as the vendor‑data expert through process migrations, including data conversion and post‑migration fixes
- Partner on automation: AI‑assisted intake validation, document extraction, bank‑format checks and a vendor self‑service portal
- Report monthly on onboarding volume, cycle time, bank changes, exceptions and data quality, and use the data to improve the process
