Job description

## **About Strava** Strava is the app for active people. With over 200 million athletes in more than 185 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where people make progress together, from new habits to new personal bests. No matter your sport or how you track it, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your goals, and make every effort count. [Start your journey](https://www.strava.com/subscription) with Strava today. Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward. ## About This Role Our Accounting team keeps the financial picture of a growing group accurate and dependable. Payables now run across multiple legal entities and currencies, and the team owns everything from vendor onboarding through to the month-end close that leadership and external stakeholders rely on. You'll join a small Accounts Payable team of three to four people and take ownership of the invoice-to-pay cycle for a set of our entities. Day to day, you'll process and match invoices in Zip and NetSuite, resolve exceptions, prepare payment runs, and act as the go-to contact for vendors and internal budget owners. You'll also contribute to the AP side of month-end close, working alongside the wider accounting team. Because the team is small, you'll see the whole payables function rather than one narrow step of it, and the process improvements you spot will reach the person who can act on them. ***We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our Dublin office, three days per week.*** ## **What You'll Do:** - Own the routine invoice-to-pay cycle for an assigned set of entities, from coding and PO matching through to payment runs delivered on schedule - Resolve invoice and PO mismatches, chase missing approvals, and escalate exceptions with enough context for a quick decision - Contribute to the AP portion of month-end close, including AP aging review, accrual support, and reconciliation preparation - Process payables across multiple entities and currencies, applying the right treatment for each - Serve as the day-to-day contact for vendors and internal budget owners, answering queries through to resolution - Administer employee expense submissions and card reconciliation - Spot friction in our AP processes and propose practical fixes ## **What You'll Bring to the Team:** - Hands-on accounts payable experience across more than one legal entity and more than one currency - Working knowledge of a mainstream ERP such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Oracle or SAP, and comfort with spreadsheets for reconciliation and high-volume data work - Experience contributing to AP month-end close tasks such as aging reviews, accruals and reconciliation support - A clear, patient approach to vendor and stakeholder queries, and the confidence to follow up until something is resolved - Careful attention to detail, and the judgement to know when something unusual needs escalating rather than absorbing - Curiosity about how the systems you use actually work, and willingness to learn a new stack - Experience with Zip or another intake-to-pay platform is a plus. So is experience with expense tooling such as Expensify, Navan or Ramp, and an accounting technician or part-professional qualification (IATI, ACCA, CIMA). None of these are required, and we welcome candidates who reached accounts payable without a university degree.
