Role OverviewYou'll own Deepgram's full invoice-to-pay function as we build the finance team from the ground up. It's a build-first role: you'll manage an outsourced contractor on invoice prep, partner with a second approver on payments, and have room to grow your scope - and a team - over time.
Key Goals- Build and own the full invoice-to-pay cycle - intake, coding, approvals, payment
- Automate the cycle toward touchless: AI-driven ingestion, coding, and duplicate detection
- Own month-end AP close - accruals, cutoff, subledger-to-GL tie-out, aging
- Stand up AP analytics that change how the function runs
- Get AP audit-ready ahead of our first external audit
- Lead AP setup and migration through our ERP move
- Own the Ramp card program, vendor/tax compliance (W-9/W-8, 1099s), and AP sales/use tax
Minimum Skills, Knowledge & Capabilities- You take a function and run it, rather than waiting for work to be handed to you
- You work AI-native - you've built AP workflows others now use, and can show them
- You turn repeat work into reusable tools - a script, rule set, or checklist a teammate adopts
- You review others' prep work sharply - catching errors without redoing or rubber-stamping it
- You think in controls and audit evidence - three-way match, exceptions, documentation
- You judge ERPs on their merits, not by defaulting to one name
Preferred Qualifications- Owned AP close and controls in an audited environment, or equivalent experience
- Set up or migrated AP in a modern ERP
- Built an AI-assisted finance workflow a team adopted
- Typically ~5-8 years in AP / accounting ops, or equivalent
Our Values- Be Curious - challenge the status quo and ask 'how might we?'
- Do the Right Thing - act with integrity and candor; choose ethics over expediency
- Think Smart. Act Fast. - weigh the options, decide, and move
- Put the Customer First - listen with empathy and let their success drive ours
- Grow Together - treat feedback as a gift and leave the drama out
