Global Senior Accounts Payable Analyst

Job description

WHY HARVEY At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come. This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. We have strong product-market fit and world-class investor support. We’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched. Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you. At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started. ROLE OVERVIEW This is a new senior individual-contributor role created to help build an accurate, controlled, and increasingly automated global Accounts Payable (AP) operation that can process thousands of invoices per month without requiring linear headcount growth. It sits within Harvey's global AP function and reports directly to the Global Accounts Payable Manager, partnering closely with Procurement, Tax, Treasury, Accounting, IT/Business Systems, and business stakeholders. Harvey is growing quickly across revenue, headcount, and transaction volume, and is putting more systems and structure in place to keep pace, so this role must handle day-to-day AP work while simultaneously improving the systems behind it. The person will initially be hands-on with invoice processing, payments, reconciliations, and exception resolution before helping transform the operation toward a touchless, exception-based model. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own hands-on execution across the global AP process, including invoice processing, multi-entity and multi-currency transactions, VAT/GST handling, and resolution of complex invoice exceptions. - Support and execute global payment cycles so that payments are accurate, properly approved, secure, and completed on time, and perform and improve AP subledger, payment, and supplier-account reconciliations, investigating and resolving differences. - Map Harvey's end-to-end AP and procure-to-pay (P2P) processes, diagnose the root causes of manual work, and redesign workflows for scale. - Own AP requirements, workflow design, and AP-side configuration across Zip, NetSuite, and connected systems, including data quality, testing, and issue resolution, while partnering with IT/Business Systems on integrations and deeper technical changes. - Identify, test, and implement practical AI and automation opportunities that reduce manual invoice handling while preserving appropriate accounting, tax, and payment controls, moving the operation toward a touchless, exception-based model in which higher-risk or incomplete transactions still receive human review. - Establish and monitor meaningful AP performance measures (touchless rate, exception rate, processing time, payment timeliness, reconciliation quality, and manual effort) and create clear process and control documentation that establishes repeatable global standards as Harvey enters new countries. WHAT YOU HAVE - Substantial hands-on international AP experience, with strong working knowledge of international AP, including VAT/GST, multi-entity and multi-currency AP, global payments, and AP reconciliations; experience with US accounts payable and related requirements is highly beneficial. - A demonstrable track record of improving AP systems and workflows, not merely operating them, with concrete examples of process redesign, automation, or streamlining that you owned end-to-end. - Strong systems fluency and the ability to translate AP requirements into system configurations and improvements, working closely with IT/Business Systems on integrations and more technical changes. Experience with NetSuite, Zip, or comparable ERP and P2P platforms is preferred. - Demonstrated practical use of AI or automation to improve finance or operational workflows, with clear examples of what you changed or built, the controls applied, and the resulting impact. - A process-improvement mindset with strong root-cause instincts, the ability to create clarity in ambiguous, fast-scaling environments, and the ownership to fix broken processes without a strict playbook. - Clear, direct communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, including the ability to explain finance issues to non-finance partners and drive alignment across Procurement, Tax, Treasury, IT, and the business.
