About the role
We’re looking for an Accounts Payable (AP) Specialist to own and elevate our AP operations as we scale. In this role, you’ll manage the full payment lifecycle, ensure our suppliers are paid accurately and on time, and play a key role in strengthening the systems and workflows behind our finance operations.
If you enjoy bringing structure to complexity, taking ownership end-to-end, and improving how things work instead of just executing them, you’ll thrive here.
What you’ll do
Own the end-to-end AP process
Manage supplier payments from invoice validation through to execution, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and proper recording across all transactions.
Manage supplier relationships and issue resolution
Act as the main point of contact for suppliers on billing discrepancies, missing information, and invoice corrections. Proactively follow up to resolve issues, secure credits when needed, and maintain strong, professional relationships.
Lead invoice validation and cross-functional coordination
Oversee vendor bill validation and work closely with Operations to investigate and resolve discrepancies. Drive issues to resolution with a strong sense of ownership and urgency.
Improve and scale AP processes
Continuously identify gaps, inefficiencies, and risks in existing workflows. Design and implement improvements that make the AP function more reliable, efficient, and scalable.
Drive automation and efficiency
Look for opportunities to reduce manual work through automation, system improvements, or better tooling. Help evolve the AP function so it can support significantly higher volume with minimal friction.
What we’re looking for
Experience & education
2 to 4 years of experience in accounts payable, finance operations, or a related role
CEGEP diploma in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or equivalent experience
Core strengths
Strong attention to detail with a track record of accurate, high-volume work
Ability to independently investigate issues and resolve discrepancies
Solid understanding of AP principles, invoice processing, and payment workflows
Natural problem solver who improves processes instead of just following them
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders
Clear and professional communication style, especially when handling supplier issues
Nice to have
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field
Experience improving or redesigning AP or finance processes
Familiarity with ERP systems, AP tools, or automation platforms
Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills
Experience in a high-growth or startup environment
Bilingual English and French
