About the role
- This is a hands-on, high-ownership role.
- You will be the operational center of gravity for everything AP: managing a high-volume inbox, resolving vendor issues, enforcing policy, closing the books on time, and constantly looking for ways to make the process more efficient.
- We are looking for someone who brings deep AP expertise, sharp attention to detail, and the initiative to solve problems before they escalate.
Responsibilities
- Own the front-end AP process: invoice intake, validation, coding, and routing for approval across multiple entities and currencies
- Manage the full bill lifecycle from receipt through payment, ensuring accuracy and completeness at every stage
- Own the AP inbox as the primary point of contact for invoice and payment-related requests, triaging and resolving issues in a timely manner
- Lead year-end 1099 processing and filings
- Manage vendor onboarding, including W-9/W-8 collection, banking detail verification, and vendor master data hygiene
- Maintain vendor records and ensure updates to banking details, contact information, and entity assignments are captured and verified promptly
- Perform AP reconciliations including vendor statement reconciliations, subledger-to-GL tie-outs, and intercompany AP balances
- Monthly Close Support
- Support month end close procedures - ensuring all invoices are posted, accruals are recorded, aging is reviewed and the AP subledger is reconciled to the GL
- Prepare and maintain month-end AP accrual process and monitor recurring vendor spend
Requirements
- 5-8 years of experience in accounts payable and expense management within a corporate finance or accounting environment.
- Proficiency in AP and expense management software (e.g., Ramp, ERP systems, banking platforms, or similar tools).
- Experience with vendor payments, corporate card programs, and financial compliance processes.
- Familiarity with tax reporting, financial reconciliations, and global payment processing.
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
Nice to have

- Apply awareness of local tax treatment by jurisdiction for UK, German, and Indian entity invoices
- Continuously look for ways to make the AP process faster, cleaner, and more scalable
- Serve as the primary point of escalation for vendor disputes, payment inquiries, and invoice discrepancies
- Verify that vendor payment accounts and banking details are accurate and up to date in Ramp prior to payment release
- Queue payments outside of Ramp as needed, coordinating with the appropriate internal stakeholders
- Flag discrepancies or issues in payment setup before they reach disbursement
- Prepare regular AP reporting including aging reports, payment forecasts, accruals, and month-end close packages for the Controller
