The Role
T1 Energy is looking to hire an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Finance and Accounting team. This is a high-ownership role for an AP professional who brings more than just transactional experience; you'er someone who understands controls, thrives in complex, high-volume environments, and takes pride in building processes that are clean, documented, and audit ready.
You'll be a go-to resource for complex AP issues, month-end close support, and cross-functional problem solving, working closely with Procurement, Purchasing, and Shared Services to keep our payables operation running with precision. If you've spent time in a SOX- controlled or public company environment and you're ready to bring that rigor to a fast-growing manufacturer, this role was built for you.
What You'll Do
Invoice Processing & Three-Way Match
We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect. We also have a no-jerks policy: we don't tolerate big egos, bad behavior or "that's not my job attitude". Be sharp, be honest, be human. If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in.
T1 Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants and do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics.
