Accounts Payable Specialist

The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Finance and Accounting team. This is a high-ownership role for an AP professional who brings more than just transactional experience; you're someone who understands controls, thrives in complex, high-volume environments, and takes pride in building processes that are clean, documented, and audit ready.

You'll be a go-to resource for complex AP issues, month-end close support, and cross-functional problem solving, working closely with Procurement, Purchasing, and Shared Services to keep our payables operation running with precision. If you've spent time in a SOX-controlled or public company environment and you're ready to bring that rigor to a fast-growing manufacturer, this role was built for you.


What You'll Do

AP Operations

• Process PO and non-PO invoices with accurate coding, approvals, and supporting documentation.
• Perform three-way match and resolve PO, receiving, pricing, and invoice discrepancies in partnership with Procurement and Purchasing.
• Monitor outstanding invoices and exceptions and proactively drive issues through resolution.
• Respond to vendor inquiries, reconcile statements, and resolve payment and invoice issues in a timely and professional manner.

Payments & Vendor Management

• Prepare payment proposals and support ACH, wire, and check payment runs in accordance with established controls.
• Support vendor onboarding, including W-9/W-8 collection, tax documentation, and validation of required information.
• Process vendor master changes with appropriate approvals, documentation, and audit trails.
• Support validation of vendor banking information and resolution of payment exceptions.

Controls & Month-End Close

• Execute AP processes in accordance with company policies, SOX controls, and approval requirements.
• Support month-end close activities, including AP accruals, GR/IR review and cleanup, reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
• Maintain clear, audit-ready documentation and provide support for internal and external audit requests.
• Identify control or process issues and escalate them appropriately.

Systems & Process Improvement

• Use ERP and AP automation tools to efficiently process invoices, manage workflows, and resolve exceptions.
• Identify recurring issues and manual processes and recommend practical improvements that reduce rework and improve cycle times.
• Support implementation of new AP systems, automation, workflows, and process improvements.
• Help maintain AP procedures, SOPs, templates, and other process documentation.

Who You Are

• Knowledgeable in PO-based AP processes, three-way match, invoice coding, vendor management, and payment processing.
• Detail-oriented and controls-minded, with strong judgment around payments and confidential vendor information.
• Proactive and persistent - you follow issues through to resolution and don't let items sit in limbo.
• Process-minded and interested in finding better, more efficient ways to work.
• A clear, service-oriented communicator who works effectively across Finance, Procurement, Purchasing, and other business teams.
• Organized and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of accounts payable or related accounting experience.
• Working knowledge of PO-based AP processes, three-way match, invoice coding, and payment processing.
• Experience with vendor onboarding, payment proposals, and month-end close support.
• Experience working with an ERP or AP workflow/automation system.
• Strong Excel skills, attention to detail, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with Oracle ERP.
• Experience with AP automation, invoice workflow, OCR, or similar technology.
• Experience in manufacturing or supply chain environments with significant PO and three-way match activity.
• Experience with multi-entity or multi-currency AP operations.
• Experience in a public company or SOX-controlled environment preferred.
