The Accounts Payable Specialist owns the day-to-day accounts payable function across Volta's group — making sure suppliers, vendors, and partners get paid accurately and on time as the company scales across multiple entities and jurisdictions. From invoice processing through payment runs, you will be the point of accuracy and control in a fast-moving finance function. This is a hands-on role at a company where AP volume and complexity are growing quickly — you will help build the processes that let the function scale cleanly, not just keep pace with it.

• Reconcile accounts payable ledgers and resolve discrepancies with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Respond to supplier queries professionally and resolve payment issues promptly
• Support month-end close activities relevant to accounts payable, including accruals and reconciliations
• Ensure AP processes comply with internal controls and relevant tax requirements (e.g. VAT) across jurisdictions
• Identify opportunities to improve AP processes and reduce manual effort as transaction volume grows
• Support audits by providing accurate documentation and responding to auditor queries
