Why We Have This Role
This role exists to act as the pacesetter for our Accounts Payable team, helping shift our function toward a more strategic and efficient operation. You will serve as the functional lead for a team of specialists, taking on increasing responsibility for tracking and delivery of team projects and initiatives. We need a builder who actively seeks to establish OKRs, drive process improvements, and solve challenging issues to support Qualtrics' rapid growth.
How You’ll Find Success
- Operational Delivery: You deliver against goals, timelines, and individual OKRs, and can communicate the significance of your work. You successfully navigate ambiguous or uncertain situations with appropriate support.
- Process Engineering: You demonstrate a growing ability to identify opportunities for synergy and efficiency across the team. You don't just accept "how it's always been done"; you help implement automation and improvements.
- Decisiveness & Problem Solving: You make decisions independently based on analysis, experience, and judgment. You proactively address and overcome obstacles, avoiding procrastination.
- Cross-Team Connection: You maintain open lines of communication within and across teams to enable effective collaboration.
- Inclusive Leadership: You actively create inclusive connections, contribute to communities, and balance your own interests with the interests of others.
How You’ll Grow
- Lead From the Front: You will possess a deep understanding of how the AP function operates and how it contributes to broader organizational goals.
- Drive Organizational Impact: Your ability to recognize the importance of considering different points of view and balancing short-term and longer-term goals will have a measurable impact.
- Continuous Learning: You will learn proactively from multiple sources, including mistakes, as an essential part of your professional development
Things You’ll Do
- Guide daily workflows for AP specialists and track the delivery of team projects and initiatives.
- Identify, set, and implement OKRs and action plans to achieve timely results.
- Identify opportunities for automation and efficiency; assist in transitioning manual tasks into scalable workflows.
- Effectively convey ideas, solutions, and problems with your manager, peers, and internal customers.
- Solicit feedback and initiate discussions about development areas for yourself and peer workflows.
What We’re Looking For On Your Resume
- Project & Team Leadership: Experience guiding projects or acting as a functional lead/mentor for team members; you show a strong willingness to tackle challenging issues.
- Operations Mindset: Background in general operations or process improvement. We value your ability to optimize systems more than deep, technical AP knowledge.
- Builder Mentality: Examples of times you didn't just run a process, but improved it. You should be able to point to specific metrics, automations, or changes you implemented that left the org better than you found it.
- Adaptability & Inclusivity: Experience working in a fast-paced environment where you demonstrate awareness of cultural norms and your social location in workplace interactions.
- Technical Aptitude: Comfort with systems and data; experience implementing new tools or metrics dashboards is a strong plus.
What You Should Know About This Team
- We Are Builders: We are currently in a phase of construction and refinement. This is the perfect team for someone who wants to get their hands dirty and build something lasting.
- Impact Over Status Quo: We value new ideas and fresh perspectives. If you see a better way to do something, we want you to lead the charge in changing it.
