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.
