About Ukio |

We are one of the most promising startups of 2025 with headquarters in Spain. We were founded in Barcelona, and since then, we've expanded to include offices in Madrid, Lisbon, and Paris. This is only the beginning as we've got our sights set on spreading to the rest of Europe and later to include other continents as well 🚀.

Ukio's mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want 🌎. We do this by disrupting the traditional residential real estate market, providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. We remove all the hassle around finding a rental with no long-term contracts, security deposits, broker fees, moving/buying furniture, etc., giving choice and flexibility to allow people to plant their roots anywhere 💥.

Backed by Europe's best Venture Capital firms, this year will be vital in our growth as we look to further build out our team, further establish ourselves in our current markets, and expand our reach into multiple new markets 🔥. We are currently ranked in the top 10 startups in Spain by Linkedin, and we have successfully raised a Series A investment round of €27 million that will help propel our growth throughout Western Europe and bring us closer to reaching our goals🥇.

Our culture |

We honor diversity, compassion, and honesty above all else in our team. We’ve already got a great mix of dedicated, collaborative, and results-driven people and are looking for more like minded folks to join our team. In true startup fashion, we always embrace the unknown and grant full autonomy to our team members to act as the owners of their projects and tasks. We are creators who embrace dynamic environments and take on and build up projects from scratch.

Our team is composed of everyone from foodies to athletes, adventure seekers to art buffs. We know fun, and we always have a team event on our calendars, so are you ready to join us?

Role |

We are looking for an Accounts Payable Manager to join our team in Barcelona. Reporting directly to our Accounting Manager, you will own the Accounts Payable function end to end and lead a team of 3 AP Specialists. This is a hands-on management role: you will stay close to the day-to-day ledger work while setting the standards, controls and processes that scale AP across all entities.

Responsibilities |

• Own the full AP cycle across all entities, from invoice receipt and coding through to payment execution.
• Lead, coach and develop a team of 3 AP Specialists, managing workload allocation, priorities and coverage.
• Define and enforce AP policies, approval workflows and internal controls, and align them across entities.
• Own the payment calendar and run payment cycles, working with Treasury on cash requirements and forecasting.
• Own AP deliverables in the month end close: accruals, reconciliations, aged creditor reporting and supporting analysis.
• Act as escalation point for complex payment issues, vendor disputes and internal queries.
• Own vendor master data governance and the AP toolstack (NetSuite, Tipalti), driving automation and process improvement.
• Partner with Procurement, Legal, Operations and external stakeholders, and support external audit and tax requirements.
• Provide support to the wider Finance team in areas such as Accounts Receivable and general ledger.

About you |

• 4-6 years of experience in Accounts Payable, including at least 1-2 years leading or supervising a team.
• Experience managing AP across multiple entities or countries.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, with the ability to log and process large amounts of data.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite and Tipalti or similar, ideally including system implementation or optimisation.
• Fluency in English and Spanish.
• Proven skills in analysis and interpretation of data balanced with a strong soft skills set.
• Track record of improving and standardising processes, not just running them.
• Comfortable working in cross-functional teams.
• Comfortable performing in a start-up environment.
