The Accounts Payable & T&E; Analyst supports client's global Procure-to-Pay (P2P) operations. The role's main focus is end-to-end supplier invoice processing: making sure invoices are captured, validated, matched, coded, approved and paid accurately, on time and in line with policy and internal controls. As a secondary responsibility, the role supports Travel & Expense operations, including Concur expense audits, reimbursements and corporate card reconciliations.

This role helps the team run well by keeping internal controls strong, supporting month-end close, and improving processes through automation and AI-enabled finance tools.
