Company Operating RhythmAt Deepgram, we expect an AI-first mindset—AI use and comfort aren’t optional, they’re core to how we operate, innovate, and measure performance.
Every team member who works at Deepgram is expected to actively use and experiment with advanced AI tools, and even build your own into your everyday work. We measure how effectively AI is applied to deliver results, and consistent, creative use of the latest AI capabilities is key to success here. Candidates should be comfortable adopting new models and modes quickly, integrating AI into their workflows, and continuously pushing the boundaries of what these technologies can do.
Additionally, we move at the pace of AI. Change is rapid, and you can expect your day-to-day work to evolve just as quickly. This may not be the right role if you’re not excited to experiment, adapt, think on your feet, and learn constantly, or if you’re seeking something highly prescriptive with a traditional 9-to-5.
Role Overview
You'll own Deepgram's full invoice-to-pay function as we build the finance team from the ground up. It's a build-first role: you'll manage an outsourced contractor on invoice prep, partner with a second approver on payments, and have room to grow your scope — and a team — over time.
Key Goals
Build and own the full invoice-to-pay cycle — intake, coding, approvals, payment
Automate the cycle toward touchless: AI-driven ingestion, coding, and duplicate detection
Own month-end AP close — accruals, cutoff, subledger-to-GL tie-out, aging
Stand up AP analytics that change how the function runs
Get AP audit-ready ahead of our first external audit
Lead AP setup and migration through our ERP move
Own the Ramp card program, vendor/tax compliance (W-9/W-8, 1099s), and AP sales/use tax
Minimum Skills, Knowledge & Capabilities
You take a function and run it, rather than waiting for work to be handed to you
You work AI-native — you've built AP workflows others now use, and can show them
You turn repeat work into reusable tools — a script, rule set, or checklist a teammate adopts
You review others' prep work sharply — catching errors without redoing or rubber-stamping it
You think in controls and audit evidence — three-way match, exceptions, documentation
You judge ERPs on their merits, not by defaulting to one name
Preferred Qualifications
Owned AP close and controls in an audited environment, or equivalent experience
Set up or migrated AP in a modern ERP
Built an AI-assisted finance workflow a team adopted
Typically ~5–8 years in AP / accounting ops, or equivalent
