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.

• 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.
