APAC GSP Territory Lead Full Time NEW

Intuit’s Global Sourcing & Procurement (GSP) organization is transforming Source-to-Report processes and technology to deliver a seamless digital procurement experience, accelerate operational excellence, and amplify value for employees, suppliers, and stakeholders. In support of Intuit’s international expansion, customer growth, and breakthrough adoption goals, the APAC GSP Territory Lead (based in Bangalore) will serve as the primary leader responsible for managing and optimizing procurement and payables operations across the APAC region.

This role requires strong Accounts Payable (AP) domain knowledge, including experience with Oracle, Coupa, and regional regulatory requirements. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can independently manage complex workflows, drive automation, eliminate manual processes, and partner deeply across Finance, AP, Supplier Data Management (SDM), and regional business teams.

The APAC Territory Lead must demonstrate strong communication and influencing skills, operate transparently in shared systems, ensure compliance, proactively resolve aging and payment issues, and drive continuous improvement across aging, invoicing, and supplier management processes.

The role is hybrid, with a minimum of 3 days per week in the Bangalore office.

Leadership And Strategy:

Serve as the primary GSP focal point for APAC, supporting stakeholders across Accounts Payable, Procurement, Sourcing, Travel & Expense, Supplier Onboarding, and general purchasing questions. While AP will be the majority of the day-to-day work, this role requires broad GSP knowledge to answer general questions, guide users to appropriate training, and direct stakeholders to the correct teams and resources.

• Influence cross-functional teams through clear communication, data-driven insights, and strong relationship-building.

Responsibilities

International Territory Leadership:

• Serve as the primary escalation point for APAC procurement and payables issues, partnering with AP, SDM, Outside Service Provider (OSP) teams, and suppliers to resolve blockers and ensure on-time payments (without directly processing AP transactions).
• Ensure accurate and timely filing of APAC Small Business Payment reporting, validating data, resolving exceptions, and maintaining regulatory compliance.
• Drive APAC aging management by prioritizing follow-ups, ensuring clear documentation, proactively escalating aged items, and aligning cross-functional partners to meet payment timelines.
• Diagnose and address recurring process issues across invoice ingestion, supplier onboarding, receipt workflows, and payment holds, collaborating with AP, SDM, and Product/Tech teams to implement sustainable fixes.
• Lead process improvement and automation efforts, improving visibility, reporting accuracy, and reducing manual work through dashboards, workflow enhancements, and data-driven insights.
• Enable and educate stakeholders and OSP teams to strengthen process understanding, reduce repeated escalations, and increase self-service.
• Provide regional insights, trends, and data that influence GSP strategy, operational improvements, and globally consistent workflows.
