• Ensure timely and accurate registration of employee expense claims and reimbursements (including travel expense and corporate credit‐card transactions).

• Maintain supplier master data: verify and update supplier information and bank details, ensure compliance with group policies and local jurisdiction requirements.

• Monitor invoice approval workflows, track outstanding invoices or payments, and drive resolution of root causes.
• Review existing AP processes, identify improvement opportunities, and support/track key OKRs and KPIs.
