About the Role

Be at the forefront of bringing Agentic AI to accounts payable and P2P: processing invoices, flagging risks against contracts, and identifying opportunities to drive savings.

As an AI Architect, Finance, you will work directly with enterprise customers to design, deploy, and optimize AI agents across the full AP cycle: invoice inbox, PO and invoice coding, three-way matching, approval workflows, invoice processing, disbursements, payments, and wallet management. You will help finance and AP teams cut exception rates, reduce manual touchpoints, and enforce spend policy through intelligent automation, while maintaining the audit trail and controls their environments require.

This is a high-impact role ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of AP operations, customer engagement, and AI-driven workflow transformation.

What You'll Do

• Design and Build AP AI Agents: Collaborate with customers to understand their AP and P2P workflows and configure agents that handle invoice intake, GL coding, three-way matching, exception routing, and payment approvals.

• Own End-to-End Implementation: Lead onboarding and deployment of AP-focused agents, scoping requirements, configuring workflows, and ensuring successful launches.

• AP Strategy Partner: Advise AP, finance, and procurement teams on best practices to scale their operations through automation while maintaining compliance and control.

• Product Feedback and Roadmap Influence: Provide structured feedback to product and engineering to inform agent capabilities related to invoice processing, matching logic, and payment workflows.

• Cross-Functional Partnership: Coordinate across customer success, sales, engineering, and finance leadership to drive measurable impact for enterprise customers.

• Advance AP Agent Innovation: Bring field insights to help shape Zip's long-term vision for AI-powered AP and P2P workflows.

You May Be a Great Fit If You Have

• 3+ years working inside an AP, P2P, or accounting function in an operating role: AP Manager, Controller, Accounting Manager, or equivalent. You have run a close, managed a team, or owned an end-to-end process. Advisory exposure does not substitute for having lived it.

• CPA, CMA, or equivalent finance credential preferred. We are looking for practitioners, not generalists.

• Deep understanding of AP processes: PO creation, change orders, invoice coding, three-way matching, contract compliance, credits, and payments.

• 2+ years leading process improvement or transformation engagements in a P2P or finance context, with direct ownership of discovery, recommendation, and delivery.

• You have already built AI agents or automated workflows for your own work. N8N, Zapier, Make, or similar. You can show something live.

• Working knowledge of at least one enterprise ERP (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) and one AP or procurement platform (Coupa, Tipalti, Ariba, or similar).

• Understanding of APIs and system integrations, including MCP.

• Excellent communication and change management skills across finance, procurement, and business stakeholders.

• Proven ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver outcomes quickly in fast-paced environments.
