Manager, Accounts Payable

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About KIPP NYC" then "Job Description Position Overview:" etc. We need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. We need to parse the content. First, "About KIPP NYC" is a description of organization. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading we can use for overview of role. The posting includes "Position Overview:" which is about role. So we can put that under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then "Duties and Responsibilities:" is a list of duties. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• items. Then "Qualifications" heading: we have a "Qualifications" section with bullet-like sentences. We'll put under

  Qualifications

  with
  • . Then "Additional Information" includes "Compensation & Benefits:" which includes salary range and benefits details. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. Also schedule: "This is a full-time position with a hybrid schedule, requiring a minimum of three in-person days per week based out of our KIPP NYC Midtown Manhattan office." Also travel. So we can have Schedule section. We also have "Additional Information" includes other statements about relocation, visa sponsorship, EEO etc which are boilerplate; we should remove those. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is valid. Benefits: we have list of benefits, so Benefits section valid. Schedule: we have hybrid schedule detail, so Schedule section valid. We must not include "About KIPP NYC" as a separate heading unless we map to "About the role"? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we must include About KIPP NYC; we can incorporate that into About the role or maybe we could have an "About the organization" but not in list. Better to put the KIPP NYC description under About the role? Actually About the role should describe the role, not the organization. But we have no separate "About the role" besides Position Overview. The "About KIPP NYC" is organization description; could be considered part of About the role? Might be okay to include as part of About the role (since it's context). However we must not invent content; we can include it as a paragraph under About the role. Alternatively we could create a separate section like "About KIPP NYC" but not in allowed headings; but instruction says use those headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should map content to those headings. Thus:

    About the role

    -> include Position Overview paragraph plus maybe the KIPP NYC description? The Position Overview includes description of role and reporting line. We'll include that. Then

    Responsibilities

    -> list duties. Then

    Qualifications

    -> list qualifications. Then

    Skills

    -> we might not have explicit skills separate; qualifications include skills. Could we create Skills section from qualifications like "Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills..." etc. But we already have qualifications covering those. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might skip Skills if it's redundant. However we have qualifications that include skills; we could keep Qualifications only. Then

    Benefits

    -> list benefits. Then

    Pay

    -> salary range. Then

    Schedule

    -> hybrid schedule and travel. We must not include Requirements heading if not present; we have Qualifications but not separate Requirements. Could combine. We must not include duplicated lines. Now we need to strip boilerplate: EEO statements, visa sponsorship, relocation policy, etc. Also remove "This description is intended to describe the type of work being performed..." etc. Also remove "If you are not in a school-based position..." etc. Also remove "KIPP NYC LLC does not offer visa sponsorship..." etc. Also remove "KIPP NYC LLC is committed to creating a welcoming environment..." etc. Also remove "KIPP NYC LLC is an Equal Opportunity Employer." etc. Also remove "Additional Information" heading itself (since we are using our own headings). Keep the substantive content under appropriate sections. Now let's extract content. About KIPP NYC paragraph: "Founded in 1995, KIPP NYC Public Schools is a non-profit network of 18 free, public charter schools located in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. We partner with families and communities to create joyful, academically excellent schools where every child grows up free to create the future they want for themselves and their communities. From our first middle school, KIPP Academy in the Bronx, to today’s network of eight elementary schools, nine middle schools, and one high school, KIPP NYC provides students with engaging academics, arts, athletics, and social–emotional learning that prepare them for college, career, and beyond. Our commitment doesn’t end at graduation. Through KIPP Forward, we continue to support our alumni as they navigate college, career, and life, helping them define success on their own terms and pursue the paths that align with their goals and sense of purpose. Together, we serve more than 9,400 students, support 4700 alumni, and employ over 1,100 dedicated team members who bring passion, expertise, and commitment to our mission every day." Position Overview: "The Accounts Payable Manager is a key leader within KIPP NYC's Finance Team, responsible for overseeing the organization's accounts payable operations and ensuring the timely, accurate, and compliant processing of invoices, payments, employee reimbursements, and vendor transactions. Reporting to the Director of Accounts Payable, the Accounts Payable Manager plays a key role in strengthening financial operations, ensuring sound stewardship of organizational resources, and delivering responsive, high-quality financial services that enable KIPP NYC schools and regional teams to focus on student success. This role partners closely with school leaders, Shared Services teams, and external vendors to strengthen financial operations, maintain strong internal controls, and continuously improve accounts payable processes across the organization. This role requires a collaborative, customer-focused leader who can manage day-to-day operations, develop efficient systems, build strong relationships across the organization, and foster a culture of continuous improvement while ensuring compliance with accounting standards, organizational policies, and grant requirements. This is a full-time position with a hybrid schedule, requiring a minimum of three in-person days per week based out of our KIPP NYC Midtown Manhattan office. The role also includes travel to KIPP NYC campuses across the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. The cadence and frequency of school visits will be determined by your leadership team." Note: The schedule info appears also in Position Overview; we might want to keep schedule details under Schedule section, but we can keep a brief mention in About the role? Better to keep schedule details only under Schedule section to avoid duplication. However the Position Overview includes schedule; we could keep it there but then Schedule section would be duplicate. To avoid duplication, we could either keep schedule info only under Schedule and remove from About the role. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we can't remove it. We could keep it in both places? That would be duplication, which we should avoid per instruction: "Remove ... duplicated lines". So we should not duplicate. So we need to decide where to place schedule info. Since Schedule section is appropriate, we can put schedule details there, and maybe keep a brief note in About the role that it's full-time? But the schedule details are substantive; we could keep them only under Schedule and not repeat in About the role. However the Position Overview also includes other substantive info about role responsibilities etc. We could split: keep the role overview (first sentences) under About the role, and move the schedule sentence to Schedule section. That way we don't duplicate. Thus About the role paragraph: combine KIPP NYC description + role overview (excluding schedule sentence). Let's craft. Role overview sentences before schedule: "The Accounts Payable Manager is a key leader within KIPP NYC's Finance Team, responsible for overseeing the organization's accounts payable operations and ensuring the timely, accurate, and compliant processing of invoices, payments, employee reimbursements, and vendor transactions. Reporting to the Director of Accounts Payable, the Accounts Payable Manager plays a key role in strengthening financial operations, ensuring sound stewardship of organizational resources, and delivering responsive, high-quality financial services that enable KIPP NYC schools and regional teams to focus on student success.

This role requires a collaborative, customer-focused leader who can manage day-to-day operations, develop efficient systems, build strong relationships across the organization, and foster a culture of continuous improvement while ensuring compliance with accounting standards, organizational policies, and grant requirements." That's the role overview. Now Responsibilities: list from "Duties and Responsibilities:" bullet points. We need to capture each bullet. The bullet list: - Accounts Payable Operations Lead the full-cycle accounts payable process, including invoice receipt, coding, approval workflows, payment processing, employee reimbursements, and vendor maintenance. - Ensure invoices, reimbursements, credit card transactions, and other financial obligations are processed accurately and in a timely manner. - Oversee weekly payment runs, including ACH, wire transfers, checks, and electronic payment methods. - Monitor accounts payable aging and proactively resolve outstanding vendor balances, payment discrepancies, and exceptions. - Maintain accurate vendor records, including W-9 documentation, tax information, and payment profiles. - Ensure timely resolution of payment inquiries while maintaining excellent customer service. - Team Leadership & Development Develop cross-training plans that strengthen operational continuity and build team capacity. - Foster a collaborative, customer-service-oriented culture focused on accuracy, responsiveness, and continuous improvement. - Financial Controls & Compliance Ensure compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), organizational policies, grant requirements, charter school regulations, and internal financial controls. - Maintain and strengthen controls related to purchasing, approvals, vendor management, and payment processing. - Support internal and external financial audits by preparing documentation, reconciliations, and audit schedules. - Coordinate annual 1099 reporting and other required tax compliance activities. - Process Improvement & Systems Management Evaluate and improve accounts payable processes to increase efficiency, accuracy, and service quality. - Maintain policies, procedures, and documentation that support consistent financial operations. - Partner with Finance and Shared Services teams to improve purchasing, payment, and procurement workflows. - Support financial system implementations, upgrades, testing, and ongoing optimization. - Vendor & Stakeholder Partnership Serve as the primary point of contact for vendor payment inquiries and escalations. - Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors, school leaders, and Shared Services teams. - Partner with departments across the organization to resolve invoice, purchasing, and payment issues. - Deliver responsive, solutions-oriented customer service while ensuring compliance with organizational policies and financial controls. - Reporting & Financial Analysis Prepare accounts payable reports, dashboards, and operational metrics for Finance leadership. - Monitor key performance indicators, including invoice processing times, payment accuracy, aging reports, and vendor performance. - Support month
