• Strong background in AP or AR, with exposure to both preferred
• Willingness to learn payroll and support a complex process environment
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly explain experience
• Professional, adaptable, and team-oriented mindset
• Ability to thrive in a changing environment
• Able to work fully onsite in Oakland
