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 quick, 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.
