About the Role
The Accounts Payable Specialist supports Open Door Mission's daily financial operations through accounts payable, purchasing coordination, financial recordkeeping, and administrative support. This role is well suited to someone who enjoys accurate, detailed work, builds positive relationships with coworkers, and finds satisfaction in providing dependable support.

This is an individual contributor position with no supervisory or management responsibilities. Through careful stewardship of the organization's resources, this position advances our mission of Restoring Hope and Changing Lives and reflects our values of Faith, Family, Compassion, Community, and Stewardship.
