• About Volta
• Volta is the category-defining, fully vertically integrated AI infrastructure platform – from capital to clusters to software, under a founder-led enterprise. Our mission is The Utility of Compute™: AI infrastructure as dependable and available as electricity, for every organization that needs it. Launched with a $10B strategic partnership with one of the leading frontier AI labs, a Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, and a $5B AI Infrastructure Fund, Volta is building the infrastructure layer of the AI era from the ground up. We are 100+ people across London, Palo Alto, and New York, with rapid growth expectations to hundreds.
• The Accounts Payable Specialist owns the day-to-day accounts payable function across Volta's group — making sure suppliers, vendors, and partners get paid accurately and on time as the company scales across multiple entities and jurisdictions. From invoice processing through payment runs, you will be the point of accuracy and control in a fast-moving finance function.
• This is a hands-on role at a company where AP volume and complexity are growing quickly — you will help build the processes that let the function scale cleanly, not just keep pace with it.

• Reconcile accounts payable ledgers and resolve discrepancies with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Respond to supplier queries professionally and resolve payment issues promptly
• Support month-end close activities relevant to accounts payable, including accruals and reconciliations
• Ensure AP processes comply with internal controls and relevant tax requirements (e.g. VAT) across jurisdictions
• Identify opportunities to improve AP processes and reduce manual effort as transaction volume grows
• Support audits by providing accurate documentation and responding to auditor queries

Requirements

• Experience in an accounts payable or broader accounting role is essential
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy in a high-volume environment
• Working knowledge of accounting software and AP/invoicing systems
