Ready to shape the future of freight technology? Learn more at dat.com/company . Application Deadline: 4/17/2026 The Opportunity DAT is seeking a battle-tested Accounts Payable Manager who thrives in high-pressure environments and is ready to OWN our AP function. This is not a "maintenance" role. We operate with a rigorous 3-day month-end close and face daily "fire drills" that require immediate action, expert communication, and total accountability. You will be the primary point of contact for both internal stakeholders and external vendors, treating both as vital customers of the AP department.

Requirements

8+ years of direct, hands-on AP experience in high-volume environments.
4+ years of accounting/bookkeeping experience with a rock-solid understanding of debits, credits, and GAAP.
Prior experience with a 3 or 4-day close and the associated reporting rigors is highly preferred.
Demonstrated experience with Tier 1 or Tier 2 ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle) and automation tools like Stampli or Tropic.
Exceptional organizational and time-management skills; you are someone who sets the pace rather than following it.
Proven ability to remain calm and effective in a fast-paced environment characterized by daily shifting priorities and "fire drills".

Responsibilities

Execute a 3-day month-end close with 100% accuracy.
Prepare and manage previous day cash reports to ensure real-time visibility for leadership.
Manage complex intercompany reconciliations, ensuring all balances across subsidiaries are accurate and eliminated properly.
Serve as the front line for all AP-related emergencies. You are expected to identify, address, and resolve issues (the "fire drills") daily without the need for constant escalation.
Lead the end-to-end virtual and physical credit card reconciliation process.
Track, record, and reconcile all prepaid expenses and related accruals.
Perform deep-dive reconciliations for AP and related general ledger accounts.
Play a lead role in the financial integration of newly acquired entities, harmonizing their AP policies with our public-company standards.
We are currently in the process of a Netsuite implementation, and this role will be instrumental in the implementation and data migration process. You will serve as a key stakeholder, providing crucial input to lead the design and configuration of the AP function within the new system.
Maintain a high level of professional communication, treating internal departments and external vendors as customers.
Resolve payment discrepancies and inquiries with urgency and a service-oriented mindset.
Lead and mentor the AP team (including AP Clerk), overseeing daily processing of invoices, payments (ACH, wire, checks), and expense reports.
