Job Responsibilities

Samsung is now looking for an Accounts Payable Specialist. This is not a typical role in an accounting department.

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you will be responsible for maintaining and optimizing the accounts payable process to ensure fast and accurate supplier accounts. You will be responsible for maintaining strong relationships with suppliers and local stakeholders, ensuring compliance with financial policies, and contributing to Samsung's overall financial health. You will work closely with the AP team leader on various tasks and improvement projects to meet our organizational high demands.

The role includes:

• Ensuring travel and expenses are reported according to accounting principles and tax regulations.
• Monitoring the Shared Service Center to ensure prompt and accurate invoice accounting.

• Monitoring monthly closing routines to ensure that financial data is accurate and up-to-date.
• Developing and improving existing workflows to increase efficiency, accuracy, and ensure compliance with our policies and processes.
• Conducting internal process and system training to enhance competence within Samsung.
