Accounts Payable Specialist

Accurate financial operations help keep exceptional healthcare moving. As an Accounts Payable Specialist with UVA Health
, your work will help ensure suppliers are paid accurately and on time so that essential products, equipment, medications, and services remain available to the teams supporting patients across the health system.

This is an excellent opportunity to build or advance your accounts payable experience within a hardworking, growing, and mission-focused team. You will combine detailed invoice processing, professional customer service, and cross-functional collaboration in a role where consistency and accuracy have a meaningful impact.

As an Accounts Payable Specialist, you will manage supplier invoices and payment-related activities in a busy, metrics-driven environment. You will work independently while staying closely connected with colleagues and internal partners through regular meetings, one-on-one conversations, email, and Microsoft Teams.

Your average day may include:

• Processing high volumes of supplier invoices for medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, equipment, purchased services, and other operational expenses

• Performing three-way matching of purchase orders, receipts, and invoices

• Reviewing invoices for appropriate approvals, account coding, accuracy, and compliance

• Managing assigned queues and keeping invoice activity clean, current, and organized

• Collaborating with Procurement, Supply Chain, Receiving, Finance, and departmental partners to resolve discrepancies

• Responding professionally and courteously to vendor and employee inquiries

• Reconciling supplier statements and researching outstanding balances

• Supporting approved payments through checks, ACH, wire transfers, and other payment methods

• Assisting with accounts payable activities related to month-end and year-end close

• Using basic Microsoft Excel functions, including sorting data and applying filters

• Meeting established hourly, weekly, and monthly productivity and quality expectations

This position follows a Monday through Friday schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It is designated as hybrid, but it is predominantly remote, with on-site presence required as operational needs dictate. Employees are expected to remain available, engaged, and productive throughout their scheduled hours and must be willing and able to report on-site when requested.

Previous accounts payable experience is welcomed but is not essential. The team is prepared to train someone who brings foundational Excel and office skills, professional communication, curiosity, organization, dependability, and a genuine willingness to learn. This opportunity may be especially appealing to recent graduates, early-career professionals, career changers, and candidates seeking to develop practical financial operations experience.

At UVA Health, operational excellence and patient care are deeply connected. Although this position is not patient-facing, accurate and timely supplier payments help prevent disruptions that could affect clinical operations and the availability of essential resources.

You will join an academic health system where collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement support a shared mission of transforming health and inspiring hope for all Virginians and beyond.

This opportunity offers:

• Meaningful work with a clear connection to patient care

• A predominantly remote arrangement paired with regular team communication and support

• A consistent weekday schedule that promotes professional and personal balance

• Exposure to an essential financial function supporting a complex healthcare organization

• Opportunities to collaborate with Procurement, Supply Chain, Finance, and departmental leaders

• Training for candidates who bring the right foundational skills, work ethic, and learning mindset

• The chance to contribute as the team prepares supplier accounts, aging items, and workflows for a future Workday transition

• A team environment where strong performance can create opportunities for continued development, as demonstrated by a recent internal promotion within the department

Success in this role means delivering accurate work, maintaining responsive customer service, keeping assigned queues current, and taking ownership of daily responsibilities. If you are focused, dependable, comfortable working independently, and motivated by work that supports a larger healthcare mission, this position offers a strong foundation for professional growth.
