About the Position

We are seeking an Accounts Payable Specialist to play a critical role in ensuring accurate, timely payments and building scalable procurement processes at TRM. As a fully remote, global company, TRM requires an AP function that is both efficient and strategic—balancing day-to-day execution with process improvements that strengthen vendor relationships, support healthy cash flow, and raise standards for financial discipline.

You will join TRM’s high-performing Finance team, which leads with ownership, accountability, and a commitment to excellence. Partnering closely with Finance, HR, and cross-functional teams, you’ll ensure invoices are processed on time, vendors are supported seamlessly, and AP systems evolve to meet the needs of a fast-growing organization.

The impact you will have:

• Own payment operations: Consistently achieve >95% on-time and accurate payments while completing AP close within target timelines to support cash flow visibility.

• Enhance vendor & employee experience: Manage Zip effectively, onboard vendors quickly, and resolve invoice/payment inquiries while maintaining >90% compliance with card submissions.

• Streamline procurement: Develop and implement procurement processes, including vendor negotiations, policy rollouts, and measurable cost savings that establish best practices at TRM.

• Drive system & process improvements: Identify and implement automation or workflow enhancements to reduce manual work, strengthen liability forecasting, and improve scalability.

• Support month-end close: Prepare and review accruals, manage prepaid expense amortization, and reconcile accounts payable to ensure accurate, timely, and compliant financial reporting.

• Partner cross-functionally: Provide timely, accurate AP reporting and collaborate with stakeholders across Finance, HR, and other teams to ensure a seamless procurement and payment experience.

What we’re looking for:

• 4-7 years of accounts payable experience, ideally in a SaaS, startup, or high-growth environment.

• Strong understanding of AP processes and procurement workflows; experience with Zip, Airbase, Netsuite or similar systems is a plus.

• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, with a proven track record of processing payments and invoices reliably and on time.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify process gaps, reconcile issues, and recommend improvements.

• Clear, proactive communicator who builds trusted relationships with vendors and internal stakeholders.

• Ownership mindset, able to manage multiple AP responsibilities simultaneously while driving continuous improvement.

Learn about TRM Speed in this position:

• High-Priority Requests: For P1 items, able to immediately jump in and resolve employee/vendor requests for urgent, time-sensitive purchases within the same day, without compromising accuracy.

• Policy Rollouts: When a new procurement or AP policy is introduced, able to implement the change in systems and workflows within 1 week of rollout.

• Vendor Invoice Processing & Communication: Upload vendor invoices to the system within 24–48 hours of receipt and respond to vendor email inquiries within 1 business day.
