Contract Accounts Payable Coordinator

Over 8,000 companies — from scrappy startups to global brands — use our platform to send billions of emails, push notifications, in-app messages, and SMS every day. Customer.io powers automated communication that people actually want to receive. We help teams send smarter, more relevant messages using real-time behavioral data.

We’re looking for an Accounts Payable Contractor to support the day-to-day operations of our Accounting team. This role is focused on the fundamentals that keep the engine running: processing invoices accurately, keeping vendor records clean, monitoring the AP inbox, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is a great role for someone who is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You’ll work closely with our AP Manager and broader Accounting team to ensure timely, accurate payables and solid financial hygiene.

• Process incoming invoices with speed and accuracy, ensuring correct vendor setup, GL coding, and department allocation
• Review invoices for completeness and follow up on missing or incorrect information
• Monitor the AP inbox and route questions or requests to the appropriate internal stakeholders
• Onboard new vendors in our accounting system and maintain up-to-date vendor records
• Respond to vendor inquiries with clear, professional communication
• Match invoices to agreements or supporting documentation when applicable
• Reconcile vendor statements against AP records and flag discrepancies
• Reconcile corporate credit card transactions and investigate declined charges
• Support weekly payment runs by preparing payment batches and updating trackers
• Maintain organized digital records to support audits, reporting, and month-end close
• Assist with light month-end activities, including invoice compilation for accruals
• Contribute to ongoing AP process improvements and data clean-up initiatives

• Strong attention to detail and a high bar for data accuracy
• Clear, professional written communication skills
• Comfort managing routine, deadline-driven work in a remote environment
• Willingness to ask questions, flag issues, and escalate appropriately
• Basic understanding of invoices, vendors, and accounting terminology
• Experience with platforms such as Airbase and Ramp is a plus, but not required

• Enjoy structured, process-driven work and take pride in getting the details right
• Stay organized and calm when handling a steady flow of tasks
• Communicate proactively and follow through consistently
• Prefer clean books and tidy records over “we’ll fix it later”

• Hours: Full time - 40 hours/week
• Location: Remote, located in the US or Canada
• Contract: 6-months, with possible extension/conversion
• Compensation: $40USD/hour
• Collaboration: Works closely with Accounts Payable Manager

No gotchas, no trick questions — just a clear, human process designed to help both of us decide if this is a good fit.

• 30-minute Zoom call with a Recruiter
• 30-minute Zoom call with the AP Manager
• 30-min Live Scenario call with Senior Controller

All final candidates will be asked to complete a background check and employment verification as part of our pre-engagement process.
