The Procurement organization enables our mission by ensuring every dollar is spent responsibly, compliantly, and efficiently. As a key part of this function, the Accounts Payable (AP) team partners closely with Procurement Operations, Accounting, Finance, and business stakeholders to deliver a seamless, scalable payment experience.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for an Accounts Payable Manager to own and scale AP operations for Direct Procurement and Supply Chain. You’ll be responsible for end-to-end AP performance—ensuring accurate, timely payments and strong controls in a high-growth environment.
This is a hands-on IC leadership role. You’ll partner with BPO teams to execute, while owning processes, systems, and outcomes. You’ll resolve complex issues, support executive stakeholders, and maintain a high bar for accuracy and experience.
You’ll also drive automation and process improvements across ERP and procurement systems, working cross-functionally to increase efficiency and reduce manual work.
You should be comfortable operating in ambiguity, managing high-volume workflows, and driving continuous improvement with a strong sense of ownership.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
We’re looking for a strong AP operator who can own and scale Direct Procurement AP while maintaining a high bar for accuracy and control.
- Proven experience supporting direct spend or supply chain in high-growth environments—you’re comfortable handling volume while building for scale.
- Hands-on expertise in AP operations and systems, including ERP and procurement tools, with the willingness to dive into queue work, resolve mismatches, support accruals, and close activities.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience supporting cross-functional partners and handling executive or VIP escalations.
- A process and controls mindset, with experience improving workflows, driving automation.
This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:
Own end-to-end AP operations across Direct Procurement: intake, 2/3-way match, exception handling, disbursements, supplier inquiries, and close activities.
- Act as the primary escalation point, partnering with Accounting and cross-functional teams to resolve complex exceptions, payment holds, and close blockers.
- Build and scale Direct AP foundations by defining receiving and asset management processes required for 3-way match.
- Improve performance by driving cycle time, first-pass yield, and on-time payment, while reducing root causes of top exceptions.
- Maintain strong controls and compliance, including SOX-aligned approvals, audit readiness, and segregation of duties.
- Drive automation and system improvements across ERP and AP workflows (e.g., OCR, approvals, integrations) to reduce manual work and improve data quality.
- Leverage AI-first approaches to AP operations—identifying opportunities to deploy automation, agents, and intelligent workflows to reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and scale efficiently.
- Enhance supplier and stakeholder experience by resolving escalations, enabling self-service, and partnering on operational improvements.
- Own reporting and visibility across AP metrics, including aging, cycle time, exceptions, payment forecasts, and risk.
- Partner with BPO teams to manage capacity and performance through clear SLAs, KPIs, and continuous improvement.
YOU MIGHT THRIVE IN THIS ROLE IF YOU:
- Bring deep AP expertise and enjoy owning operations end-to-end, from invoice intake through close.
- Stay close to the work—comfortable jumping into queue, resolving exceptions, and unblocking payments when needed.
- Operate effectively in high-growth environments, balancing immediate execution with building scalable processes.
- Think in systems and automation, with experience improving workflows across ERP/AP tools and curiosity for AI-driven solutions.
- Exercise strong judgment with a controls mindset, and partner effectively across Accounting, Procurement, and Supply Chain.
- Take ownership and move with urgency, influencing outcomes even without direct authority.
- Have hands-on experience with tools like Oracle Fusion, Zip, Navan, VNDLY, Brightflag, Jira, or similar enterprise platforms—especially in integrated environments.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Accounts Payable Manager
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
CPA (Australia) and CA ANZ qualifications aren't automatically recognized by U.S. hiring managers. Frame your credentials alongside U.S. equivalents, GAAP experience, ERP system proficiency, and accounts payable cycle ownership, so your resume clears ATS filters.
Target mid-market companies with dedicated finance teams
Companies with 200–1,500 employees typically have a standalone AP Manager role but haven't yet built an in-house immigration function. These employers are often open to E-3 sponsorship once you explain that the process is employer-light compared to an H-1B.
Use Migrate Mate to find E-3 sponsorship opportunities
Migrate Mate filters Accounts Payable Manager roles by E-3 visa sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to employers who've never filed an LCA. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork once you have an offer.
Address the specialty occupation question upfront
Some employers hesitate because AP Manager roles sound operational rather than professional. Be ready to show that the position requires a degree in accounting or finance, not just experience, which is exactly what the DOL's specialty occupation standard requires for E-3 eligibility.
Confirm your employer will file the LCA before signing
The Labor Condition Application is the employer's first step and must be certified by the DOL before your consulate appointment. Nail down who internally owns the LCA filing, HR, legal, or a third-party firm, and get a timeline in writing before you give notice in Australia.
Prepare for consulate questions about your reporting structure
E-3 consular officers sometimes probe whether an AP Manager role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or is supervisory work that any experienced bookkeeper could do. Bring an org chart, your position description, and degree transcripts to your appointment to document the professional-level scope.

Find Accounts Payable Manager JobsAccounts Payable Manager E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Accounts Payable Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Accounts Payable Manager roles filtered by E-3 sponsorship history. Generic job boards don't distinguish between employers who have filed LCAs before and those who haven't, which means a lot of wasted applications. Migrate Mate surfaces employers who've already demonstrated willingness to sponsor Australian professionals.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Accounts Payable Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It qualifies when the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, not just several years of AP experience. Roles that accept any degree or treat the degree as preferred rather than required can face scrutiny at the consulate. A well-drafted job description that ties the degree requirement to specific duties is your first line of defense.
How does the E-3 visa compare to the H-1B for Accounts Payable Manager roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens, but for those who qualify it's far more practical than the H-1B. There's no lottery, no annual cap, and no filing season, you can apply any time of year once your employer's LCA is certified. H-1B selection is decided by random draw, meaning a qualifying AP Manager role still might not lead to an approved petition.
Can I switch employers after arriving in the U.S. on an E-3?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh LCA and you'll need a new E-3 visa endorsed for that employer before starting work. Unlike some visa categories, there's no portability rule that lets you bridge between jobs. Build a buffer into your notice period to allow time for the new employer's LCA to clear DOL review, which typically takes seven business days.
