Accounts Payable Manager

Overview

We’re excited to be looking for our first dedicated Accounts Payable Manager to join our Accounting team in Brooklyn, NY. Reporting to our Controller, you will manage vendor spend across our key AP systems (Tipalti, AMEX, and Abacus), establish process documentation, and implement controls to ensure best-in-class standards. Collaborating with our FP&A function and the broader business, you will be a key counterpart in assisting with monthly reforecasting.

This role is perfect for you if you are highly entrepreneurial, thrive in a collaborative environment, and are passionate about improving processes and systems. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll do

• Manage our current AP processing system, Tipalti, to ensure accurate/consistent data coding, timely reviews by departments, and quick response times to vendors
• Refresh the business on the AP process and what is expected of the business level review
• Be a key business counterpart to our respective Brooklinen team members regarding onboarding vendors, payment follow-ups, and any other inquiries found in the team inbox
• Centralize spend holistically under the AP function, including AMEX and Abacus processing
• Take an active role in the ongoing Airbase implementation, to automate AMEX processing/recording
• Manage our inventory and supplier payment process in NetSuite, by communicating with both internal/external contacts regarding status of weekly payments and collaborating with the broader business to forecast payments

We're looking for someone who brings

• 4+ years of AP experience; prior experience in accounting and/or the e-commerce/retail industry is a plus!
• High level of proficiency in Excel
• Familiarity with systems including Tipalti, AMEX, Airbase, Abacus, and NetSuite ERP is a plus!
• Proven track record of improving processes and systems and cross-functional collaboration
• Strong attention to detail and excellent time management skills
• Strong verbal and written communication skills – email etiquette and professionalism are essential
• An entrepreneurial spirit, curious mindset, and eagerness to roll up your sleeves

Why join us?

• Our team is made up of friendly, funny, welcoming, low-ego, and passionate people -- who also happen to be great at what they do. We all know the people you work with can make or break a job and so we go to great lengths to protect this amazing culture.
• We work hard, but are well-rounded (and well-rested). Hanging with coworkers is encouraged. So is taking vacation (we’ve got a $1k vacation bonus), getting out of here at a reasonable hour, year-long Summer Fridays, and obviously getting a great night sleep (our day starts at 10am).
• Care about growth? So do we. We’re growing rapidly, so we’ve got tons of exciting growth opportunities for our amazingly talented team. Not the type of place where you wait for your boss to quit before you can get promoted. New projects and business needs pop up every single day, and we always look internally first.
• All the other stuff you’d expect - great benefits (with fully company-paid options), a 401k plan with a 4% match, 100% paid parental leave for ALL new parents, budget for learning and development, fun team outings, and much more.
• And don’t just take our word for it! We’re honored to be recognized by various industry tastemakers for the work we’ve put into our culture and employee engagement, including accolades from LinkedIn Top Startups (in 2020 and 2021!), Inc.’s Best Workplaces and Forbes Best Startup Employers in America.

Everyone is welcome at Brooklinen - we’re passionate about building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and creating an environment where our differences are celebrated. We invite you to take a look at how we’ve done so far and where we know we need to do better.
