Accounts Payable Specialist

Do you love clean ledgers, happy vendors, and on-time payments?

We do, too. If reconciling, resolving, and relentlessly improving AP processes is your jam, come help us build a smarter Procure-to-Pay (P2P) function-moving approvals before we buy so our spend is controlled, our cycle times fly, and our vendors adore working with us.

What you'll do
Run AP operations end-to-end: process invoices, match POs, code expenses, and manage weekly payments.
Be the vendor champion: resolve inquiries, discrepancies, and payment issues while maintaining strong relationships.
Drive process improvements: identify bottlenecks, reduce costs, and strengthen compliance across AP workflows.
Collaborate and reconcile: partner with internal teams for approvals, ensure accurate month-end close, and support audits.
Manage data and compliance: oversee vendor onboarding, maintain data integrity, and ensure positive pay and licensing requirements are met.
Analyze and innovate: turn AP data into insights, recommend enhancements, and help build a forward-thinking Procure-to-Pay function.
