Accounts Payable Manager
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine intro paragraphs up to "The Opportunity". Actually "The Opportunity" is a heading in original; we could treat that as About the role. But we need to avoid duplication. We'll make About the role section containing the introductory paragraphs before "The Opportunity". Then maybe we can skip separate "The Opportunity" heading and incorporate its content into About the role or Responsibilities. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep it as part of About the role.
Let's extract intro:
"At Minnesota Cannabis Services, we’re not just building businesses — we’re building the people who make them great. Our team partners with leading operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail to deliver world-class expertise in legal, finance, analytics, marketing, HR, and technology. We’re looking for professionals who take pride in their work, move with purpose, and thrive in fast-changing environments. The kind of people who hold themselves to high standards, think creatively, and find satisfaction in solving hard problems. When you join our team, you’ll work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in the industry — professionals who share their knowledge freely and lead by example. You’ll be challenged, supported, and trusted to take ownership of meaningful work that shapes the future of one of the fastest-growing industries in America."
Then "The Opportunity We're looking for an Accounts Payable Manager who owns the payables function end to end. Minnesota Cannabis Services supports cannabis clients across multiple states and entities with a high volume of vendor invoices across many companies. This is a hands-on management role: you will run accounts payable, build, train and support a team of specialists beneath you, own all vendor records with complete accuracy, and put in place the controls that keep the function working properly. If you're the kind of person who takes separation of duties personally, who notices when an invoice number is one digit off, and who gets satisfaction from a payment run that goes out right the first time, this role was built for you."
We can combine these into About the role.
Now Responsibilities: "Who Thrives In This Role" and "What You'll Own" sections.
Who Thrives In This Role paragraph: "You're organized to the point where other people find it slightly intimidating. You're comfortable telling a department head their bill is stuck until they approve it, and telling a vendor you need a bank letter before anything moves. You're not looking to inherit a finished process and maintain it. You want to build the function: hire, coach and manage a team of AP Specialists, write the procedures, and define what done looks like, then let the systems carry it."
What You'll Own includes subheadings: The Payment Cycle, Vendor Records, Staff Supervision & Development, Controls & Process. We'll turn each into list items under Responsibilities.
We need to preserve details: For each subheading, we need to include the bullet points.
Let's extract details:
The Payment Cycle:
- You own invoice intake, coding, approval routing, and payment preparation across a large entity portfolio.
- You make sure every bill has an approval attached before it is paid, every payment matches what was approved, and nothing is paid twice.
- You prepare and review payment runs and ensure that payments get released on time.
Vendor Records:
- You own all records of all vendors, and verify before anything gets paid.
- You own vendor on-boarding and verification, bank detail changes, W-9 collection, and year-end 1099 reporting.
Staff Supervision & Development:
- You hire, train, and manage a team of 2-3 Accounts Payable Specialists.
- You assign their work, review their output, give feedback on accuracy and timeliness, and hold them accountable for deadlines.
Controls & Process:
- You own the controls that prevent fraud and the procedures that document them: separation of duties, first-payment flags on new or changed vendors, positive pay, and monthly reconciliations of what was paid to what was approved.
- You identify recurring errors and process gaps, and you fix them rather than flag them.
Now Requirements: "What We're Looking For" includes Required and Strongly Preferred.
Required:
- 5+ years of accounts payable experience, including 2+ years supervising AP staff
- Experience running high-volume AP in a multi-entity or multi-location environment
- Hands-on experience with vendor setup and verification, payment runs by ACH and check, positive pay, and bank portals
- Working knowledge of three-way matching and approval workflows
- Proficiency with QuickBooks Online or comparable platforms (Intacct, NetSuite, Xero) and advanced Excel
- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience
Strongly Preferred:
- Experience in a regulated or cash-intensive industry: cannabis, hospitality, distribution, grocery, or restaurant groups
- Construction & Real Estate AP experience: pay applications, lien waivers, retainage
- Experience implementing or specifying AP automation, especially using AI like Claude or ChatGPT
We can combine into Requirements section with two sublists? Could just list all as bullet points, maybe separate Required and Preferred as subheadings inside? But we only have h3 for section headings; we could use
? Not allowed. Only h3 for section headings. We could embed paragraphs indicating Required and Preferred. Use
for prose and
- for lists. We could have a
stating "Required:" then a
. Then another "Strongly Preferred:" then another
. That's fine.
Now Benefits: from Compensation & Benefits: list includes:
- Base salary: $80,000 to $95,000, commensurate with experience
- Health, Dental, and Vision insurance
- Company-paid life insurance
- 401k
- Free Employee Assistance Program (EAP) offering in-person, telephonic, texting, and video counseling
- Employee Discount Program offering exclusive savings from top national retailers
- Paid Sick Leave (PSL) and 2 weeks Personal Time Off (PTO)
- Holidays observed include New Year's Day, 4/20, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day
We need separate Pay and Benefits sections per rule: include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state base salary range. So Pay section will contain that salary line. Benefits section will contain the rest.
Schedule: Office hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central, Monday through Friday, 100% on site in Edina, MN.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Now produce HTML.

Responsibilities
- ... maybe we need to incorporate Who Thrives and What You'll Own as list items? But Who Thrives is more descriptive; we could keep as paragraph then list sub-responsibilities. However rule: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to put duties in list. The Who Thrives paragraph is not a list but description; we could keep as
then list for specific duties. That's acceptable: we have prose (
