About the role

Hi, my name is Eric Anderson, Senior Controller at Customer.io, and I'm looking for an AP Contractor to keep our T&E engine running clean through a busy stretch. Our Accounting team relies on Ramp and Navan to keep expense and travel spend moving, and we need someone who can own the day-to-day grind — coding, reconciling, chasing exceptions — without losing sight of the bigger picture. This is a 6-month contract with real ownership from day one, working closely with Terre Holmes and the AP team.

What we value

  • Ownership — you drive the exception queue to zero, not someone else.
  • Directness — you enforce policy clearly and kindly, without dodging hard conversations.
  • Precision — a mismatched dollar amount doesn't get past you.

What you’ll do

  • Own Ramp expense management end-to-end — review, code, and approve expense reports, chase missing receipts, and enforce policy compliance.
  • Administer Navan travel — reconcile bookings and spend, flag policy exceptions, and support employees through out-of-policy approvals.
  • Review AP bills for accuracy, coding, and approval routing — catching duplicate invoices and mismatched amounts before they hit the payment queue.
  • Reconcile Ramp and Navan activity against the GL and drive the exception queue to zero before every close.
  • Serve as the responsive point of contact for vendors — confirming payment details, tracking status, and resolving disputes.
  • Spot recurring T&E headaches and propose (and document) process fixes.

What we're looking for

  • 3+ years of AP & T&E experience, ideally in SaaS or a high-growth environment
  • Hands-on experience with Ramp and/or Navan (or comparable — Concur, Expensify, TravelPerk)
  • Sharp eye for detail and a solid grasp of expense policy enforcement
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage a recurring, deadline-driven workload
  • Experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

This is a contracted engagement at $45–60/hr USD, depending on experience, for an estimated 6-month term.

Our Process

No gotchas, no trick questions - just a clear, human process designed to help both of us make an informed decision.

  1. 30-minute video call with a Recruiter
  2. 45-minute video call with the Hiring Manager
  3. 45-minute cross-functional screen with a member of the AP team

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

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
