Purpose

We are seeking a Senior Accounts Payable Specialist to support the Finance organization across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. This role manages high-volume AP activity and plays a key role in month-end closing, including preparing and booking accruals across multiple spend categories. The ideal candidate has strong Excel abilities, is experienced working with large and incomplete data sets, and can produce clear reconciliations and analysis for both finance and non-finance stakeholders. This position requires high attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to operate within defined deadlines in a multinational environment.

This position is also considered a structured entry point into the U.S. Finance team, with the opportunity to develop and grow into other areas of Finance depending on performance, business needs, and career aspirations.

Key Responsibilities :

Invoice & Data Management

  • Maintain AP mailboxes and ensure invoices and inquiries are processed timely

  • Produce clear analysis and variance explanations for business partners and finance leadership
  • Review aging reports, error queues, and pending approvals and ensure timely resolution
  • Audit & Compliance

  • Ensure compliance with internal policies and accounting standards (IFRS / US GAAP exposure a plus)
  • Project Participation & Collaboration

  • Hybrid Requirement :

    This is a hybrid NYC-based role. The role provides up to 30 work-from-home flex days per-6-month period, with the remaining days performed onsite in the office. Attendance expectations may increase during critical close periods or as business needs require.

    Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or related field
  • Minimum 3 years of accounting or AP experience (retail experience preferred)
  • Advanced Excel skills and ability to work with large data sets
  • Experience with SAP or other ERP systems is a plus
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to meet defined deadlines
  • Ability to work with incomplete inputs and still produce structured, accurate deliverables
  • Professional communication skills and ability to translate financial reconciliations into clear business language
  • What we offer :
