About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Accounts Payable Manager  to own the day-to-day operations of our Accounts Payable function and employee expense operations. This hands-on role will support a timely and accurate month-end close, manage payment operations, prepare AP-related close entries and reconciliations, administer travel and expense programs, maintain strong controls, and resolve day-to-day AP issues. The role will work closely with Procurement to manage invoice workflows in Zip and improve the end-to-end procure-to-pay process.
We’re looking for someone who can identify manual or inefficient steps, find opportunities to automate them, and work with partners across the company to put practical improvements in place.

This hybrid role is based in our New York office, with in-office collaboration Tuesday through Thursday each week.
