Takanock provides competitive compensation and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision plans through Blue Cross Blue Shield, a 401(k) plan with company contributions, profits-interest equity grants, an unlimited PTO policy, a monthly mobile phone stipend, and company-paid parking. The salary range for this position is $60,000-80,000 per year with a target bonus of 10%.

The Role

We are hiring an Accounts Payable Specialist to own full-cycle accounts payable across the business. You'll process vendor invoices, expense reports, and payments, keep our AP subledger clean, and support month-end close. Because Takanock is delivering a large construction program, part of the role involves reviewing contractor pay applications and project costs against contract terms, so comfort with construction billing is valuable, but this is a varied AP role that spans all of our payables, not a construction-only position.

What You'll Do

• Manage the full AP cycle: invoice intake, coding, three-way matching, approvals, and payment runs.
• Process vendor invoices, employee expense reports, and corporate card transactions accurately and on time.
• Review contractor pay applications and project invoices against contract terms, budgets, and schedules of values.
• Verify supporting documentation and approvals, and for construction draws confirm lien waivers, insurance, and retention before payment release.
• Reconcile vendor statements and the AP subledger; support month-end accruals and close.
• Maintain organized, audit-ready records to support internal and external audits.
• Build and maintain EPC cost documentation to a standard that withstands third-party construction audit and the customer's counterparty audit rights over eligible costs.
• Maintain vendor master data, contracts, and SOW support.
• Support purchase order (PO) system integration with the ERP platform.
• Partner with accounting, project controls, and the broader team to keep cost tracking accurate.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of full-cycle accounts payable experience.
• Sharp eye for detail and a habit of questioning invoices that don't tie out.
• ERP / AP automation experience (Workday a plus) and solid Excel skills.
• Strong organization and the discipline to keep clean, audit-ready documentation.
• Comfort reviewing construction or project-based invoices (pay applications, schedules of values, retention, lien waivers), or willingness to learn; construction / EPC exposure is a strong plus.
• Experience in construction, energy, or infrastructure is a plus.
