Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Accounts Payable Manager role is featured because it sits at a common pressure point in scaling SaaS businesses: keeping procure to pay operations reliable while vendor volume, global entities, and internal stakeholders expand. The remit spans core AP execution alongside controls, compliance, and automation, which reflects how SaaS finance teams increasingly treat AP as an operational system rather than a back office queue.
For a SaaS career, the role offers durable exposure to the mechanics that underpin recurring revenue companies as they grow: month end discipline, audit readiness, and cross functional process design across Procurement, Treasury, Tax, and Finance Systems. Ownership of KPIs, documentation, and systems improvements also builds fluency in the tooling and governance that later supports broader finance operations or controllership paths within SaaS.
The position fits a finance professional who prefers structured problem solving and hands on leadership, balancing detail work with process ownership. It will suit someone motivated by reducing friction for employees and vendors, comfortable acting as an escalation point, and interested in partnering across teams to standardise workflows as the organisation evolves.

Job Description
As an Accounts Payable Manager, you'll lead a critical function within Gong's Finance organization, ensuring our Accounts Payable operations remain accurate, compliant, and scalable as the company continues to grow globally. In this hands-on leadership role, you'll develop a high-performing team while remaining closely involved in day-to-day AP operations. You'll own key financial processes, drive automation and process improvements, and partner across Accounting, Procurement, Treasury, Tax, and Finance Systems to deliver operational excellence and support Gong's continued growth.
You'll Own:
- Lead, coach, and develop the Accounts Payable team by managing day-to-day priorities, conducting one-on-ones, supporting employee growth, participating in performance reviews, and serving as the primary escalation point for complex vendor, employee, and stakeholder inquiries.
- Own the end-to-end execution of Accounts Payable operations, including vendor management, invoice review and coding, payment processing, employee reimbursements, bi-weekly payment cycles, vendor reconciliations, month-end close activities, accruals, and AP-related journal entries, while ensuring compliance with company policies, accounting standards, internal controls, and applicable tax and regulatory requirements.
- Drive operational excellence across the AP function by monitoring KPIs, identifying bottlenecks, leading automation and process improvement initiatives, supporting finance systems implementations, maintaining documentation and standard operating procedures, supporting internal and external audits, and partnering closely with Procurement, Accounting, Treasury, and business stakeholders to continuously improve Procure-to-Pay processes.
You'll Solve:
- Keep Accounts Payable operations accurate, compliant, and scalable while balancing day-to-day execution, competing priorities, evolving business needs, and critical month-end deadlines.
- Identify operational inefficiencies, resolve payment and reconciliation issues, and implement process and system improvements that increase quality, efficiency, turnaround times, and long-term scalability.
You'll Impact:
- Build and develop a high-performing Accounts Payable function that delivers a seamless experience for employees, vendors, and internal stakeholders while ensuring timely, accurate, and compliant financial operations.
- Strengthen Gong's Finance organization by driving automation, improving operational efficiency, and optimizing Procure-to-Pay processes through close partnership with Accounting, Procurement, Treasury, Tax, and Finance Systems teams.
How You'll Succeed Here:
- You bring 5+ years of Accounts Payable or corporate accounting experience, ideally in a fast-growing high-tech company, along with experience leading or mentoring an Accounts Payable team.
- You're comfortable owning both the operational details and the bigger picture, balancing hands-on execution, people leadership, and continuous process improvement.
- You have a strong understanding of Accounts Payable, Procure-to-Pay workflows, and month-end close processes, and you're motivated by finding ways to make operations more efficient and scalable.
- You're an organized leader who can effectively prioritize competing deadlines, coach and develop team members, and maintain high standards in a fast-paced environment.
- You communicate effectively, build strong cross-functional relationships, and bring excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and a customer-service mindset. Advanced Excel skills are required, while experience with NetSuite and Procure-to-Pay platforms such as Zip is an advantage.
- Fluency in English and Hebrew is required.
We encourage our employees to express their personality and identity (whether gender, ethnic, religious, or sexual), and we ensure fairness and equal opportunities. We follow a hybrid working model that combines working from home, on the go, or at the office. This allows us: flexibility, autonomy, positive work relationships, and effective work habits. If these considerations are important to you when choosing a workplace, we'd love to see you with us. To review Gong's privacy policy, visit www.gong.io/privacy-policy/ for more details.
