About The Position

Agility Robotics is hiring an Accounts Payable Manager to lead and modernize its procure-to-pay (P2P) lifecycle during a period of hyper-growth and increasing purchasing volume. The role will develop a robust, scalable P2P process designed to meet current needs and support public-company readiness. It will involve close partnership with Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, and Accounting leadership to align operational workflows with financial standards. The manager will take a hands-on leadership role in implementing NetSuite and rolling out Precoro for P2P, establishing an automated connection between purchasing and payables. While a team handles routine invoice processing, reconciliations, and operations, the manager focuses on strategic process design, system architecture, cross-functional alignment, policy enforcement, internal controls, and department leadership. The role also uses AI technology and automation to improve workflows and reduce manual effort. This is a hybrid position based out of the company’s Fremont office. All roles are U.S.-based, and applicants must have current authorization to work in the United States.
