C3 AI is seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Senior Accounting Operations Analyst to join our Finance team. You will be responsible for managing the full accounts payable cycle including invoice processing, vendor payments, and month-end close support. The ideal candidate brings 4–5 years of hands-on AP experience, proficiency in NetSuite and Coupa, a passion for process improvement, Agentic AI processes and automation, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth enterprise AI environment.

Please note that this position is full-time and located onsite at our Redwood City office.

Responsibilities: 

  • Process and review high-volume vendor invoices end-to-end: receipt, coding, two-way PO matching, approval routing, and posting in NetSuite; manage the AP inbox and ensure all invoices are processed accurately and on time.
  • Execute domestic and international payment runs (ACH, wire, check, virtual card); manage payment scheduling and coordinate with Treasury to optimize cash flow.
  • Own vendor onboarding and maintenance including W-9/W-8 collection, banking detail verification, and vendor master data integrity in NetSuite and Coupa; serve as the primary point of contact for vendor inquiries and dispute resolution.
  • Drive process improvement initiatives across the full procure-to-pay cycle: identify manual bottlenecks, champion automation opportunities in Coupa and NetSuite, and leverage C3 AI’s own AI tools (agentic AI, generative AI) to reduce invoice cycle times and exception rates.
  • Support month-end and quarter-end close by preparing AP aging reports, accruals, prepaid amortization schedules, and balance sheet reconciliations; ensure accurate cut-off and timely reporting to the Controller.
  • Maintain robust internal controls over AP, including SOX-compliant documentation, duplicate-payment detection, segregation of duties, and audit-ready transaction records; support Auditors and internal audit reviews.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Procurement, Legal, and FP&A on PO compliance, budget coding accuracy, and supplier contract terms; surface data-driven insights on DPO, payment trends, and spend analytics.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
  • 4–5 years of accounts payable or broader accounting experience, preferably in a high-growth technology or SaaS company; experience at a publicly traded company a strong plus.
  • Hands-on proficiency with NetSuite (AP module, payment runs, saved searches) and Coupa (invoicing, purchase orders, supplier portal, spend analytics); experience with the NetSuite–Coupa integration preferred.
  • Demonstrated track record of driving AP process improvements: automation of invoice workflows, exception reduction, cycle-time compression, or ERP/P2P system enhancements; experience piloting or deploying AI-assisted AP tools is a strong differentiator.
  • Solid understanding of U.S. GAAP as applied to accounts payable, accruals, and prepaid expenses; familiarity with SOX controls and internal audit requirements in a public-company environment.
  • Experience managing domestic and international vendor payments including ACH, wire, check, virtual card, and foreign currency transactions; knowledge of TransferMate or similar cross-border payment platforms is a plus.
  • Strong attention to detail and data accuracy with the ability to manage high invoice volumes while maintaining a low error rate; experience with two-way PO matching and AP aging analysis.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel; experience with FloQast, Concur, or similar finance tools a plus.
  • Effective communicator with the ability to work cross-functionally with Procurement, Legal, Treasury, and FP&A and to present AP metrics and process improvement recommendations to Finance leadership.
  • Self-starter with a continuous-improvement mindset and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with shifting priorities.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team with a hands-on mentality, strong attention to detail, and a can-do attitude in a fast-paced, publicly traded enterprise AI company.

Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future company sponsorship.

Except where C3 AI expressly asks for your consent, C3 AI processes your personal data for recruitment on the basis of its legitimate interests and to take steps at your request before any employment relationship, and you are not required to consent to that processing: C3 AI collects your personal data for the purposes of managing C3 AI's recruitment related activities as well as for organizational planning purposes globally.

Some evaluations are assisted by automated tools: C3 AI uses AI-based matching to compare your application against the requirements of the role and, for some roles, an AI-based “Voice AI” tool that records and analyzes a voice screening interview. A member of our team reviews the results and makes the final decision, and no decision is made based solely on automated processing.

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.
