Job Description

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Our cofounders started Zip in 2020 to address this seemingly intractable problem with a purpose-built procurement platform that provides a simple, consumer-grade user experience. Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Zip is tackling the $50B+TAM space to transform the way businesses manage spend. Our co-founders started Zip (YC S2020) because they saw the challenges companies had using outdated 20 year old software to manage hundreds of millions of dollars in spend every year. We invented the world’s leading Intake-to-Procure solution to bring a consumer grade user experience to B2B purchasing. And, we’re just getting started.

We're a fast growing team that helped scale category-defining companies like Airbnb, Facebook, Salesforce, Apple, Quora, Pinterest, and Square. With $370 million in funding from YC Continuity (Y Combinator), CRV and Tiger Global, we're valued at $2.2 billion in just 4 years. In today's economic climate, the value we offer our customers is more critical than ever and our business is accelerating. We're growing quickly and need your help!

We're looking for an experienced Accounts Payable Senior Analyst for this remote role.

What You’ll Do:

• Own the end-to-end procure to pay workflow for multiple entities, ensuring every transaction is coded correctly, approved timely, and paid accurately.

• Execute weekly payment runs across global banking platforms, managing vendor portal activities such as bank detail changes and wire setups.

• Serve as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders and external vendors, resolving discrepancies and clarifying policy requirements.

• Identify bottlenecks and implement automation or AI-enabled solutions to increase efficiency and scalability.

• Act as a resource and mentor to junior AP staff, maintaining updated SOPs and training materials.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field preferred.

• 4+ years of progressive accounts payable experience, ideally in a high-volume public company or a fast-paced corporate environment.

• Strong understanding of US GAAP and internal controls (SOX compliance experience is a major plus).

• High proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, or Oracle) and AP automation platforms (ideally Zip).

• Advanced Excel skills (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs/XLOOKUPs, and data visualization) to analyze spend trends and aging metrics.

• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to explain financial discrepancies to non-finance stakeholders.

• Proven ability to prioritize high-priority tasks under tight deadlines with minimal supervision.

• Demonstrates meticulous attention to detail, coupled with strong business process improvement and exceptional communication abilities.

We're looking to hire Zipsters and that means hiring people who take ownership, communicate openly, have an underdog mindset, and are excited to increase the pace of innovation for every business in the world. We encourage all candidates to apply even if your experience doesn't exactly match up to our job description. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workspace where everyone (regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and more) feels like they belong. We look forward to hearing from you!
