About the Role
Sortera uses AI-powered sensing and sortation to turn mixed non-ferrous scrap into high-purity aluminum and other alloy feedstocks. We are scaling plant throughput and preparing the finance organization for the next stage of growth. This role requires an AP Manager to own the payable cycle end-to-end, push our stack toward genuinely touchless processing, and build the control discipline a mature company requires. This is a build role, not a maintenance role.
Responsibilities
- Full-cycle AP across all entities and sites: vendor onboarding and master data, PO and non-PO invoices, three-way match, coding, approval routing, and payment runs (ACH, wire, check, virtual card)
- Manage AI enabled spend and payables platform — bill pay, approval workflows, corporate card issuance and limits, expense and receipt policy, vendor payment execution, and the ERP sync
- Oversee freight and logistics invoices: rate and accessorial validation, short-pay workflows, dispute resolution, and carrier follow-through
- Manage scrap and raw-material payables with procurement and the scale house: weight tickets, assay and settlement adjustments, price-basis validation
- Govern vendor master data: duplicate prevention, W-9 collection, bank-detail change verification and fraud controls, annual 1099 cycle
- Lead and scale the AP team — training, documentation, and cross-coverage that keep the close on schedule
- Manage AP subledger close: cutoff discipline, accrual and GRNI analysis, aging review, unvouchered liability reconciliation, open-PO cleanup
- Ensure accurate classification at the point of entry — GL account, cost center, plant, project; capital vs. expense; freight-in and other costs belonging in inventory vs. period expense; sales and use tax accrual
- Apply US GAAP correctly in daily judgment calls, document recurring treatments, and partner with the Controller on anything novel
- Own the AP technology roadmap: ERP integration, OCR/AI invoice capture, delegation-of-authority setup, supplier portal adoption, and payment-file automation. Replace spreadsheets and email approvals with configured, auditable workflow
- Deploy AI agents on transactional work: exception triage, coding validation, duplicate and anomaly detection, statement reconciliation, freight discrepancy research, correspondence drafts, accrual and aging prep
- Define where the human stays in the loop, at what threshold, and with what evidence, so AI-assisted work is reviewable and testable by an auditor. Coach the team to review output rather than trust it
- Track and report on key metrics: touchless rate, cost per invoice, cycle time, first-pass match rate, exception volume, throughput per person
- Serve as the AP front door for plant operations, maintenance, procurement, logistics, engineering, finance, treasury, and tax
- Support working capital objectives: payment terms, DPO, discount capture, and cash forecasting inputs
- Handle vendor escalations directly
Requirements
- 8+ years in accounts payable or procure-to-pay, including 3+ years managing people
- Experience in a manufacturing, industrial, logistics-heavy, or multi-site environment
- Working command of US GAAP as it applies to payables, accruals, cutoff, capitalization, and cost classification
- Hands-on ownership of an AP or spend management platform (e.g., Ramp, Brex, Coupa, Tipalti, AvidXchange, or Bill) plus a mid-market or enterprise ERP (NetSuite preferred)
- Demonstrated automation results that can be quantified
- Fluency with AI and agentic workflows — experience using AI on real transactional work, understanding its limitations, and ability to set up, instruct, and supervise an agent on a recurring task
- A leverage mindset: ability to scale a function by redesigning the work, not just by adding headcount
- Internal controls and audit support experience; comfort designing and operating within controls
- Excellent communication skills, able to explain complex financial information to diverse audiences
- Cross-functional operating style, willing to engage directly with various departments and stakeholders
- Advanced Excel proficiency
- Public company experience, or AP ownership through IPO readiness or a SOX implementation (preferred)
- Experience with freight and transportation invoice audit at scale (preferred)
- Commodity, scrap, or metals settlement exposure (preferred)
- Experience in a growth-stage environment where processes were built from scratch (preferred)
- CPA or equivalent credential (preferred)
