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.

This is not a “keep things running” role. It is a “build it better every day” role. You’ll be expected to spot inefficiencies, improve processes, and help design scalable solutions that can support growing transaction volumes.

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

Mindset

• You think in systems, not just tasks

• You build with scale in mind, not just today’s workload

• Experience improving or redesigning AP or finance processes
• Familiarity with ERP systems, AP tools, or automation platforms
