• Ensure invoices are accurately coded to the correct GL accounts and WBSEs, maintaining financial integrity.
• Troubleshoot invoice processing issues, system errors, and payment discrepancies to keep operations running smoothly.
• Own the vendor management process, including vendor registration, ongoing updates (banking and contact changes), and invoice tracking.
• Serve as a key point of contact for vendors—responding to inquiries and resolving invoice-related questions.
• Keep operators and internal stakeholders informed by proactively sharing payment statuses and aging reports.
• Support production budgeting by posting actuals as needed.
• Contribute to the broader Production Finance team by taking on additional responsibilities and projects as assigned.

Here you'll need:

• Minimum of 1 year of experience in finance, accounting, or an accounts payable role.

What we'll look for:

• Familiarity with corporate enterprise systems and a willingness to learn new tools and processes.
• Solid attention to detail paired with clear verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to work independently, prioritize effectively, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive problem solver who identifies issues and delivers actionable solutions.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across all levels of the organization.
