Manager - Accounts Payable

WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS
Behind every gig on thumpN is a chain of venues, artists, production crews, and marketing partners. When their payments land late or wrong, that trust cracks fast, and in live entertainment, relationships are everything. As we scale across India, invoice volumes are climbing and payables needs someone who can own it end to end.
You'll run AP independently, build the process discipline that keeps it clean at scale, and lead a junior team member while you do it.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
Invoices and payments
Review, code, and process a high volume of vendor, tour, and marketing invoices in our accounting system.
Run three-way matching against purchase orders and receiving documents before anything gets paid.
Process weekly payment batches by bank transfer and cheque, so venues and partners are paid accurately and on schedule.
Review employee expense reports and hold them to our travel and expense policy.
Reconciliation, closing, and compliance
Reconcile vendor statements every month and track down discrepancies in amounts, payment terms, or outstanding balances.

Get TDS/TCS deductions, GST input checks, and statutory filings right and on time, every cycle.

Team and partners
Manage and coach a junior team member, growing their skills as the function grows.
