About The Position

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Join a mission-driven, highly collaborative Finance team at a company that’s transforming healthcare at scale. In this role, you’ll have an immediate and meaningful impact by helping ensure smooth, accurate financial operations as the company continues to grow. You’ll work closely with members of the Accounts Payable team while partnering with the broader Accounting and Finance organization, gaining exposure to a variety of systems, processes, and cross-functional teams. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing company where your work is valued and your contributions directly support a purpose-driven mission. The Senior Accounts Payable Specialist owns core Accounts Payable workflows end-to-end and plays a critical role in ensuring timely, accurate, and scalable AP operations. This role requires strong judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to operate independently while supporting and mentoring other AP team members.
