Long-Term Accounts Payable Temp + Hybrid + Lincoln

This is a unique opportunity with our client to take the reins of a high-functioning A/P team while key leadership is dedicated to a major internal project. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy being the go-to problem solver, and like having visibility across an organization—this one’s worth a look.

The Opportunity

We’re partnering with a large, well-established organization seeking an Accounts Payable Lead to support day-to-day operations and keep things running smoothly. You’ll act as the right hand to A/P leadership—guiding workflow, supporting a team, and ensuring accuracy and timeliness across the board.

This is a long-term temporary role (project expected to run through early 2028), offering stability with flexibility.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Serve as the primary resource for a team of A/P Specialists—answering questions, troubleshooting issues, and keeping workflow on track
• Partner with leadership to improve processes, drive efficiencies, and identify areas for improvement
• Oversee vendor maintenance, invoice processing flow, and ensure accuracy in payments
• Handle escalated vendor inquiries and resolve discrepancies
• Support monthly close activities including reconciliations, accruals, and reclass entries
• Coordinate the 1099 process and assist with audit requests
• Act as a liaison between A/P, Finance, Purchasing, and external partners
• Assist with weekly check runs and help optimize payment timing and discounts
• Provide backup support where needed to maintain team productivity

What They’re Looking For

• 5+ years of Accounts Payable experience with increasing responsibility
• Strong understanding of A/P processes, reconciliations, and month-end close
• Natural problem solver with the ability to juggle multiple priorities
• Comfortable leading workflow and supporting a team (formal leadership not required, but helpful)
• Detail-oriented with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through
• Experience in a larger or more complex environment is a plus
• Exposure to ERP systems (Lawson is a bonus, not required)

Why This Role Stands Out

• Hybrid flexibility – typically 2 days remote, 3 in-office (with some flexibility on days)
• Long runway – secure, project-based role through early 2028
• Immediate impact – step into a key role supporting a large, active A/P function
• Team environment – collaborate with a sizable A/P team and cross-functional departments

If you’re someone who enjoys stepping in, making an impact quickly, and being the steady hand that keeps things moving—this could be a great fit.
