Company mission
To create the most committed, close, and engaged athlete community on the internet.
Role
Who you are
- Hands-on accounts payable experience across more than one legal entity and more than one currency
- Working knowledge of a mainstream ERP such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Oracle or SAP, and comfort with spreadsheets for reconciliation and high-volume data work
- Experience contributing to AP month-end close tasks such as aging reviews, accruals and reconciliation support
- A clear, patient approach to vendor and stakeholder queries, and the confidence to follow up until something is resolved
- Careful attention to detail, and the judgement to know when something unusual needs escalating rather than absorbing
- Curiosity about how the systems you use actually work, and willingness to learn a new stack
- Experience with Zip or another intake-to-pay platform is a plus. So is experience with expense tooling such as Expensify, Navan or Ramp, and an accounting technician or part-professional qualification (IATI, ACCA, CIMA). None of these are required, and we welcome candidates who reached accounts payable without a university degree
What the job involves
- Our Accounting team keeps the financial picture of a growing group accurate and dependable. Payables now run across multiple legal entities and currencies, and the team owns everything from vendor onboarding through to the month-end close that leadership and external stakeholders rely on
- You'll join a small Accounts Payable team of three to four people and take ownership of the invoice-to-pay cycle for a set of our entities. Day to day, you'll process and match invoices in Zip and NetSuite, resolve exceptions, prepare payment runs, and act as the go-to contact for vendors and internal budget owners
- You'll also contribute to the AP side of month-end close, working alongside the wider accounting team. Because the team is small, you'll see the whole payables function rather than one narrow step of it, and the process improvements you spot will reach the person who can act on them
- Own the routine invoice-to-pay cycle for an assigned set of entities, from coding and PO matching through to payment runs delivered on schedule
- Resolve invoice and PO mismatches, chase missing approvals, and escalate exceptions with enough context for a quick decision
- Contribute to the AP portion of month-end close, including AP aging review, accrual support, and reconciliation preparation
- Process payables across multiple entities and currencies, applying the right treatment for each
- Serve as the day-to-day contact for vendors and internal budget owners, answering queries through to resolution
- Administer employee expense submissions and card reconciliation
- Spot friction in our AP processes and propose practical fixes
Our take
Strava has created an online network where runners, swimmers and cyclists can record fitness activities, and compare and compete with their community. It offers both a free and premium subscription service, and also partners with local councils and urban planners who purchase its journey data to map out cities and develop safer cycle paths.
With over 125 million athletes and growing, Strava's popularity is clear. Over the years, it has released new features such as an AI-enabled leaderboard, as well as partnering with Oura to make its software available through Oura's wearables. It has also secured impressive funding and a valuation over $2 billion, and is now pursuing an IPO.
