What are the responsibilities and job description for the Accounts Payable Manager position at MKH Search?
Accounts Payable Manager | Mid-Size General Contractor
Own & modernize the AP function for a long-established construction/infrastructure business entering an exciting new phase of growth and operational transformation.
We’re partnering with a long-established and growing construction/infrastructure company in North Georgia to appoint an Accounts Payable Manager during an exciting phase of expansion and operational transformation.
This is not a “keep the lights on” AP role. The company is looking for someone who wants to come in, take ownership, build structure, improve processes, and genuinely make an impact as the business continues to grow through acquisition activity.
Backed by a publicly traded parent company, the business combines the stability of a 70-year-old organization with the momentum and investment of a company actively scaling across multiple states.
The opportunity:
• Lead and modernize the AP function
• Oversee the full AP cycle across vendors and subcontractors
• Improve workflows, controls, and reporting processes
• Partner closely with finance, procurement, and project teams
• Manage lien waivers and support month-end close activities
• Supervise and develop existing AP support staff, with scope to grow the team over time
What makes this role appealing:
• High visibility role with real ownership and influence
• Opportunity to build processes rather than inherit a rigid structure
• Stable, established business with strong growth trajectory
• Leadership team invested in professionalising the finance function
• Genuine opportunity for long-term growth as the wider platform expands
Ideal background:
• 8 years within Accounts Payable
• Prior leadership or supervisory experience
• Strong process improvement mindset
• Construction, infrastructure, or multi-entity experience preferred
• Comfortable in a hands-on, entrepreneurial environment
Location: Sugar Hill, GA (primarily in-office)
