ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an AI Workflow Engineer to redesign our end-to-end Accounts Payable process inside NetSuite. You will own the design, build, and deployment of AI-powered automations that eliminate manual work, reduce fraud exposure, and enforce policy — across invoice capture, vendor management, GL coding, payment runs, and reporting. This is a greenfield build with meaningful impact on financial control.
CHALLENGE AREAS YOU'LL OWN
INVOICE CAPTURE
Build an AI extraction pipeline to auto-populate NetSuite bill records from inbound invoices — zero manual rekeying.
FRAUD PREVENTION
Detect bank-detail mutations between invoice submissions and trigger mandatory human review workflows.
GL CODING
Train a classifier on historical transactions to suggest and validate GL codes, handling multi-GL vendors correctly.
PO MATCHING
Auto-match bills to open POs using fuzzy logic; route unmatched bills through an exception approval workflow.
PO CREATION
Validate PO data at point of creation and surface field-level errors before the record is saved in NetSuite.
DUPLICATE DETECTION
Block duplicate invoices using multi-signal matching (vendor, amount, date, reference) before bills are posted.
VENDOR MASTER
Automate vendor onboarding and record updates with validation rules and a full audit trail inside NetSuite.
EXPENSE VALIDATION
Route low-value expenses through a lightweight auto-approval path so AP team time is reserved for exceptions.
PAYMENT RUN
Generate weekly EFT payment files automatically from NetSuite with pre-run anomaly checks and a signoff workflow.
REPORTING
Build an exception reporting framework — dashboards and scheduled alerts for all AP control breaches.
CREDIT NOTES
Implement structured credit-note processing: capture, matching to the original bill, and application in NetSuite.
EXPENSE POLICY
Apply automated policy compliance checks at expense submission — flag, block, or escalate based on configurable rules.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 3+ years building automation or integration workflows in a finance or ERP context
- Hands-on experience with NetSuite (SuiteScript, Workflows, or REST API)
- Proven use of LLMs or AI APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) in production workflow automations
- Comfortable with document processing: OCR, PDF parsing, and structured extraction from unstructured invoices
- Experience with workflow tools such as n8n, Make, Zapier, or equivalent custom-built pipelines
- Strong data-matching fundamentals — fuzzy matching, deduplication, entity resolution
- Able to translate a finance pain point into a technical specification independently
- Understanding of AP controls — three-way matching, segregation of duties, audit trail requirements
