Responsibilities

The Accounts Payable Manager will play a critical, hands-on role in building and running the company’s accounts payable operations as The Nuclear Company continues to grow. As the first dedicated AP resource, this position will own the end-to-end payables process, invoice processing, payment execution, vendor management, expense and corporate card administration, reconciliations, and AP close with a strong focus on accuracy, timeliness, financial controls, and fraud prevention.
Working closely with Accounting, Procurement, Treasury, and business leaders, the Accounts Payable Manager will design, implement, and scale the processes, controls, automation, and reporting the function needs. As the organization moves into construction-phase activity, this individual will stand up the project payables infrastructure—purchase order workflows, contractor payment processes, retainage, and compliance documentation required to support significantly higher volume and complexity.
Note: This is a hybrid position based in our downtown Columbia, South Carolina office. The role has been posted in Charlotte and surrounding markets for visibility, as the hybrid schedule may make the commute workable for candidates living outside the immediate Columbia area. Candidates should be within commuting distance of Columbia or open to relocation.
Role Responsibilities

Payment Processing & Fraud Prevention: Manage payment cycles in accordance with vendor terms, contractual requirements, internal approvals, and company policies; design and enforce payment fraud controls, including banking-change verification, positive pay, and payment release protocols.
Expense & Card Administration: Administer the travel, expense, and corporate card program, ensuring transactions are appropriately documented, coded, and approved.
Construction & Project Payables: Build and run construction-phase payables workflows ahead of site activity—pay applications, retainage tracking, lien waivers, and contractor compliance documentation—in coordination with Project teams and Procurement.
Month-End & Year-End Close: Own AP-related close activities, including accruals, account reconciliations, intercompany settlement support, adjustments, and supporting schedules required for accurate and timely financial reporting.
Internal Controls & Audit Support: Design and maintain effective controls, procedures, and documentation across AP, including segregation-of-duties design with the Controller; provide AP-related schedules and documentation in support of internal and external audits.
