• Solid understanding of procure-to-pay processes, including PO management, 3-way match, and invoice validation
• Familiarity with P-Card program administration and spend compliance
• Strong attention to detail with a track record of accuracy in financial or operational processes
• Experience with Zip, Tropic, NetSuite, and/or DocuSign is preferred
• SaaS background.
• Demonstrated proficiency in leveraging AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Copilot) to solve real-world business challenges, drive measurable outcomes, or streamline workflows.
• Proficiency in MS Office Suite, including Excel; experience with reporting tools is a plus
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent related working experience is required
• This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship
You are
• Operationally minded with a strong sense of ownership over process quality and accuracy
• A collaborative partner who builds strong relationships across Finance, Legal, HR, IT, and business teams
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines simultaneously
• A clear communicator who can navigate vendor conversations and internal escalations with professionalism
