Your Mission

We are looking for an Accounts Payable Accountant to join our Accounting and tax team. Your mission is to fuel our operational success by ensuring the flawless and timely execution of our Procure-to-Pay (P2P) processes. You will play a critical part in maintaining strong, positive supplier and internal stakeholder relationships and ensuring absolute compliance with company policies. Taking full ownership of your assigned suppliers, your goal is to master our Workday ERP system, managing everything from Requisition to Purchase Orders and supplier invoices to payment settlements and month-end closings.

Working closely with internal stakeholders, FP&A, and external suppliers, this is an excellent opportunity to bring your rigorous accounting mindset to one of France's best scale-ups.

Your Responsibilities

• End-to-End P2P Execution: Manage the full lifecycle of Requisitions and Purchase Orders (POs), process supplier invoices within the Workday Supplier Invoice Area, and match invoices to POs and receipt documents.

• Data Accuracy & Tax Compliance: Ensure proper General Ledger coding (Spend Category), analytical allocation (Cost Center, Region), and strict adherence to French and international tax regulations.

• Supplier Relationship Management: Act as the primary point of contact for your assigned suppliers. Resolve payment discrepancies, respond to inquiries via Slack, Email, or Jira within a strict 48-hour SLA, and manage supplier master data.

• Payment Processing: Prepare and process regular Settlement Runs via EFT, Direct Debit, Expense Reports, or Netting within Workday, ensuring timely payments to maintain excellent supplier relations.

• System Optimization: Monitor OCR (Workday) and PA (Pagero) performance, treat unassigned invoices, and stay up-to-date with Workday best practices to continuously improve our finance tech stack.

• Project Involvement and Continuous Improvement : Proactively assess existing processes, participate in department roadmap building and execution, enabling continuous improvement of P2P process. 

• Audit & Compliance Support: Adhere strictly to internal AP policies, assist with interim and yearly external audits, and confidently walk auditors through our P2P procedures.

Your Qualifications

• Holding a degree in Accounting with a solid foundation in French accounting principles and an understanding of indirect tax.

• Backed by at least 3 years of solid, hands-on experience in an Accounts Payable or Procure-to-Pay (P2P) role.

• Highly tech-savvy with hands-on experience in Workday ERP (preferred) or other process based ERP, alongside modern collaboration tools like Jira, Slack, and G-Suite.

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of hitting fast SLAs without compromising accuracy or supplier relationships.

• A proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic tech environment and enjoys collaborating with internal multidisciplinary teams and for who continuous improvement is a core value.

• Fluent in both French (for local supplier and VAT handling) and professional English (for our international environment).
