accounts payable management / management of accounts payable
Explanation:
This is just a fancy way of saying '(Durchführung der) Kreditorenbuchhaltung', in my view, and your context makes it abundantly clear that the job description is all about 'accounting', which need not be spelt out in this case.

neutral  Ted Wozniak: Neutral only in that these descriptions sound more like a clerk's job. Processing A/P, creating a payment run, processing incoming dunning notices, etc.

  -> 'Processing' is a good idea for 'Abwicklung'. I agree re. the notion of a clerk's profile.

agree  Armorel Young: "processing accounts payable" sounds good to me
