Honoring Diverse Perspectives
Lightship is committed to hiring and developing top talent from diverse backgrounds. We believe representing and supporting diverse groups is key to the success of our team members, customers, shareholders and the achievement of our mission and vision. We operate in a collaborative environment with a flat organizational structure and expect a high degree of integrity, autonomy and creativity from all members of the team.
About the Role
This is an exciting time to join Lightship as we scale production and operations. We are seeking a Senior Accounts Payable Specialist who values precision as much as progress — someone who loves the “build” as much as the “balance.”
We are not simply looking for invoice processing support. We need a partner who will:
- Build scalable AP controls within a complex manufacturing environment
- Master and optimize our tech stack (NetSuite + Ramp)
- Protect cash, inventory accuracy, and gross margin
In this role, you will own the end-to-end accounts payable lifecycle — from purchase order review and three-way match enforcement to vendor bill processing, payment execution, and vendor communication. You will work closely with Accounting, Supply Chain, Production, and Operations to ensure disciplined purchasing practices and audit-ready financial reporting.
Beyond day-to-day processing, you will support month-end close activities including accruals, prepaid expense tracking, subledger reconciliations, and variance analysis. You will help identify pricing discrepancies, resolve receipt and billing mismatches, and strengthen internal controls across purchasing and payables workflows.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical function in a high-growth manufacturing company — building structure, improving systems, and contributing meaningfully to Lightship’s financial integrity as we scale.
