Accounts Payable Specialist

The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Finance and Accounting team. This is a high-ownership role for an AP professional who brings more than just transactional experience; you're someone who understands controls, thrives in complex, high-volume environments, and takes pride in building processes that are clean, documented, and audit ready.

You'll be a go-to resource for complex AP issues, month-end close support, and cross-functional problem solving, working closely with Procurement, Purchasing, and Shared Services to keep our payables operation running with precision. If you've spent time in a SOX-controlled or public company environment and you're ready to bring that rigor to a fast-growing manufacturer, this role was built for you.

What You'll Do

AP Operations

• Process PO and non-PO invoices with accurate coding, approvals, and supporting documentation.
• Perform three-way match and resolve PO, receiving, pricing, and invoice discrepancies in partnership with Procurement and Purchasing.
• Monitor outstanding invoices and exceptions and proactively drive issues through resolution.
• Respond to vendor inquiries, reconcile statements, and resolve payment and invoice issues in a timely and professional manner.

Payments & Vendor Management

• Prepare payment proposals and support ACH, wire, and check payment runs in accordance with established controls.
• Support vendor onboarding, including W-9/W-8 collection, tax documentation, and validation of required information.
• Process vendor master changes with appropriate approvals, documentation, and audit trails.
• Support validation of vendor banking information and resolution of payment exceptions.

Controls & Month-End Close

• Execute AP processes in accordance with company policies, SOX controls, and approval requirements.
• Support month-end close activities, including AP accruals, GR/IR review and cleanup, reconciliations, and supporting schedules.
• Maintain clear, audit-ready documentation and provide support for internal and external audit requests.
• Identify control or process issues and escalate them appropriately.

Systems & Process Improvement

• Use ERP and AP automation tools to efficiently process invoices, manage workflows, and resolve exceptions.
• Identify recurring issues and manual processes and recommend practical improvements that reduce rework and improve cycle times.
• Support implementation of new AP systems, automation, workflows, and process improvements.
• Help maintain AP procedures, SOPs, templates, and other process documentation.

Who You Are

• Knowledgeable in PO-based AP processes, three-way match, invoice coding, vendor management, and payment processing.
• Detail-oriented and controls-minded, with strong judgment around payments and confidential vendor information.
• Proactive and persistent — you follow issues through to resolution and don't let items sit in limbo.
• Process-minded and interested in finding better, more efficient ways to work.
• A clear, service-oriented communicator who works effectively across Finance, Procurement, Purchasing, and other business teams.
• Organized and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of accounts payable or related accounting experience.
• Working knowledge of PO-based AP processes, three-way match, invoice coding, and payment processing.
• Experience with vendor onboarding, payment proposals, and month-end close support.
• Experience working with an ERP or AP workflow/automation system.
• Strong Excel skills, attention to detail, and written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with Oracle ERP.
• Experience with AP automation, invoice workflow, OCR, or similar technology.
• Experience in manufacturing or supply chain environments with significant PO and three-way match activity.
• Experience with multi-entity or multi-currency AP operations.
• Experience in a public company or SOX-controlled environment preferred.

About T1 Energy

At T1 Energy (NYSE: TE), we build energy. We are an American solar manufacturer building the future of energy abundance. From our headquarters in Austin, Texas, we’re pioneering a domestic solar supply chain with one mission: to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy.

We started with G1_Dallas, one of the most advanced solar manufacturing facilities in the world. The 5GW facility is located in Wilmer, Texas. It has the capacity to produce more than 20,000 solar modules a day for solar farms that power American homes, businesses, and keep our energy grids resilient.

Next is G2_Austin: Our new solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas. Its first 2.1GW phase is designed to produce next-generation TOPCon cells beginning in 2027. As the fab grows, it’s expected to support up to 1,800 manufacturing jobs. Modules assembled at G1 can run on cells from G2.

What comes after G2? Come join us and help figure that out. And then build it. The sun has always shone on America. Now you can turn it into abundant electricity.
