The Director of Accounts Payable will lead and unify the accounts payable function across all of EAH's banners, while serving as the primary driver of A/P standardization, automation, and integration into EAH's Finance Center of Excellence (COE). The ideal candidate will have proven experience leading a multi-entity A/P organization, ideally including the implementation of an A/P automation platform and/or an ERP migration.

The Director must be effective operating independently — building and standardizing processes across multiple business units — and must partner closely with the EAH Corporate Controller and CFO to align the company's A/P people, processes, and systems with EAH standards.

The Director of Accounts Payable will report to the Corporate Controller, in close partnership with the CFO. The role will be based at EAH's corporate offices, with periodic travel to banner and distribution-center locations as needed to support standardization and system rollouts.

A/P Leadership & Standardization (Primary Focus)

• Serve as the senior leader and primary owner of the accounts payable function across all EAH banners, establishing a unified, centralized A/P organization within the Finance COE.
• Evaluate each banner's existing A/P processes, policies, and internal controls, and standardize them into a single set of A/P policies and procedures consistent with EAH standards and the COE operating model.
• Document current-state A/P processes and controls across banners and deliver a written plan for aligning them to a common EAH standard.
• Partner with the Corporate Controller and CFO to standardize invoice processing, three-way matching, approvals, and disbursement practices across all banners.

Automation & Systems Transformation

• Lead the selection, implementation, and company-wide adoption of a third-party A/P automation platform — invoice capture, automated matching, approval routing, and payment execution.
• Redesign and document A/P workflows to maximize automation and minimize manual effort, retiring legacy and manual processes as the COE rolls out.

Accounts Payable Operations (Multi-Banner)

• Own end-to-end A/P for a high-volume eCommerce environment across multiple entities — invoice intake, coding, three-way match (PO / receipt / invoice), approvals, and disbursement (ACH, wire, and check).
• Manage complex vendor scenarios, including prepaid international vendors, inbound freight and landed cost, and partial receipts, ensuring prepaids are matched and relieved accurately and timely.
• Own vendor master-data integrity and vendor onboarding controls, including validation and fraud-prevention safeguards.
• Drive working capital efficiency through disciplined management of vendor payment terms and disbursement timing.

Controls, Compliance & Close
