Accounts Payable & Reconciliations Analyst (FTC)

Please note: This role is a 9 month FTC

Team Description Our finance team is the backbone of Runa. From managing the financial health with our 1300+ brand partners, to business partnering with every other department, we keep our finger on the pulse across everything.

We value transparency so before we get started, here’s some things you should know about the role

• This is not your typical 9-6 role. We’re a high growth, ambitious start up and so while we focus on outcomes over hours worked, please know there's a need for flexibility in busy periods such as month ends and project milestones
  • This goes two ways of course. If you need to leave early for a personal appointment and your tasks are under control, it's no issue with us!
• In a start-up, things often change last minute. It’s important these situations don’t frustrate you and you thrive with unknowns, with a focus on delivery
• We are a small and supportive team, and do our best work when everyone rolls up their sleeves to cover each other. This may be anything from setting up payments, speaking with customers or managing office address changes
