Senior Manager, Accounting Operations (AP & T&E)

About the role

Sunos spend is growing fast across vendors, production and creative teams, and a quickly expanding workforce and we need someone to build the accounts payable and T&E function that keeps up with it. As one of the first hires on the accounting team and reporting to the Director of Accounting, you'll own AP and T&E end to end: the systems, the policies, the controls, and the day-to-day operations.

You'll tailor processes to the real needs of different teams, our production and creative groups don't operate like everyone else, while keeping the rigor and scalability a growing company depends on, and you'll bring a measured, meaningful approach to AI that unlocks the efficiency a best-in-class operation should have. This is a build-and-operate role for someone who wants to stand up a function the right way and grow into leading it.

What You'll Do

• Own accounts payable and T&E operations end to end, from vendor onboarding and invoice processing to the expense and corporate card programs.
• Build scalable AP and T&E policies and controls, tailoring them to the needs of individual departments without losing consistency.
• Implement and optimize the systems and AI-enabled automation that make spend management fast, accurate, and self-service, adopting new tools with measured judgment and the right guardrails.
• Partner with department leads, especially production and creative teams, to design approaches that fit how they actually work.
• Help a growing accounting team operate cleanly and scale, taking on more ownership and leadership over time.
• Keep the financial plumbing flowing smoothly behind a platform built to make creative fulfillment a daily reality for everyone.

What You'll Need

• Must-Haves:
  • 6-8 years of accounting or accounting operations experience, including AP and T&E ownership at a high-growth company.
  • Hands-on experience selecting, implementing, or overhauling AP / T&E and spend-management systems (e.g., Ramp, Tipalti, Bill, Concur, or similar).
  • A track record of writing policy and building controls that scale without slowing the business down.
  • A demonstrated, measured use of AI and automation to streamline accounting operations.
  • Strong cross-functional instincts and the flexibility to tailor processes to different teams.
  • A builder's mindset - you'll set up, document, operate, and then automate.
• Nice-to-Haves:
  • Experience supporting production, creative, or other non-standard spend environments.
  • A mix of Big 4 and industry backgrounds.
  • Global / multi-entity exposure a strong plus.
  • Demonstrated capability building AI-enabled finance or operations.
