Staff Accountant II at Horizon3 AI. Remote Location: US, Remote. Get to Know Us. Horizon3.ai. is a fast-growing, remote cybersecurity company dedicated to the mission of enabling organizations to proactively find, fix and verify exploitable attack vectors before criminals exploit them. Our flagship product, the NodeZero™ platform, delivers production-safe autonomous pentests and other key assessment operations that scale across the largest internal, external, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments. NodeZero has been adopted by organizations of all sizes, from small educational institutions to government agencies and Global 100 enterprises. It is used by IT Ops/SecOps teams, consulting pentesters, and MSSPs and MSPs.. We are a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers & operators, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools and false positives, resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, “checkbox” security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Collectively, we are a team of learn-it-alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results.. As a remote-first company, we require a minimum 25 Mbps consumer-grade broadband connection.. What You’ll Do. We are seeking a strategic and detail-oriented Procurement Manager to lead and mature our procurement operations as we continue scaling toward public-company readiness. This role sits within the Accounting organization and serves as a key bridge between technical stakeholders, operational teams, and Finance.. The ideal candidate will own and evolve our Procure-to-Pay (P2P) ecosystem, partnering cross-functionally with Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Security, Legal, FP&A, IT, and business leaders to ensure procurement requests are complete, business-justified, commercially sound, compliant, and operationally efficient from intake through payment resolution.. This role combines strategic sourcing, operational execution, process ownership, vendor coordination, and financial partnership. The ideal candidate thrives in high-growth environments, brings strong judgment and accountability, and can continuously improve procurement controls and workflows while enabling business velocity.. Responsibilities. Design, implement, and oversee the end-to-end Procure-to-Pay (P2P) lifecycle, including procurement intake, purchase requisitions, PO issuance, vendor onboarding, invoice coordination, and procurement operations. Serve as the operational owner of procurement workflows and systems, including guided procurement tooling and intake processes. Review incoming purchase requests for completeness, business justification, coding accuracy, pricing support, department ownership, and appropriate payment methods before approval routing. Coordinate procurement requests across FP&A, Legal, Security, IT, Engineering, Accounts Payable, and business stakeholders to ensure timely progression and resolution. Monitor procurement SLAs, request aging, and operational bottlenecks to improve procurement speed, scalability, and reliability. Identify opportunities to improve procurement operations through automation, AI-enabled workflows, document capture, operational reporting, and process optimization. Establish and enforce company-wide procurement and spend policies to reduce non-compliant purchasing activity and strengthen budget accountability. Ensure procurement activities align with SOX-readiness objectives and maintain organized documentation to support audit and IPO readiness requirements. Work closely with FP&A to track actual spend against department budgets, providing variance analysis and forecasting insights. Perform ongoing review of open purchase orders and procurement requests to determine whether they are still valid, whether goods or services have been received, and whether invoices are still outstanding, and if so, follow up with requesters and vendors to obtain invoices. Review POs for closure opportunities, including partially used POs that no longer need to remain open, and close requests once remaining obligations are resolved.. Help drive compliant remediation paths when spend is initiated outside the normal procurement flow, including ushering through an after-the-fact PO request where necessary.. Lead monthly open-PO reviews to assess remaining commitments and determine the appropriate PO accruals to support month-end close. What You’ll Bring. Must have experience managing procurement, sourcing, or Procure-to-Pay operations within a high-growth SaaS, cybersecurity, or technology environment. Must have a strong understanding of procurement operations, vendor onboarding, purchasing controls, and cross-functional approval workflows.

Must have working knowledge of procurement compliance, audit readiness, and SOX-oriented operational controls. Minimum Education and Experience. Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 5+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, vendor management, or Procure-to-Pay operations. Prior experience operating within a high-growth SaaS, cybersecurity, or technology organization. Strong understanding of the "Accounting side" of procurement—accruals, GL coding, and the impact of contracts on the balance sheet.. Tech Stack Experience. Procure-to-Pay (P2P) platforms such as Zip, Coupa, Airbase, or Tipalti. ERP/accounting systems such as NetSuite or Sage Intacct. Contract management and signature tools such as DocuSign. What Sets You Apart?. You thrive in fast-moving environments and can manage a high volume of requests without sacrificing responsiveness or quality. You know how to balance operational rigor with business velocity and stakeholder experience. You communicate effectively across technical, operational, finance, legal, and vendor stakeholders. You are highly organized and proactive, with strong follow-through on procurement and operational tasks. You are comfortable working across ambiguity and helping improve processes as the company scales. You have a strong operational mindset and naturally look for ways to improve workflow efficiency and process consistency. Exposure to AI-enabled workflow improvement, OCR-based intake automation, or procurement analytics/reporting is a plus. Perks of. . Horizon3.ai.
