Accounts Payable Coordinator (Temporary, Part-Time)
About The Position
The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation builds on the legacy of artist Robert Rauschenberg, emphasizing his belief that artists can drive social change. Rauschenberg sought to act in the “gap” between art and life, valuing chance and collaboration across disciplines. As such, the Foundation celebrates new and even untested ways of thinking. The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented Accounts Payable Coordinator to administer the Foundation’s day-to-day accounts payable and expense processing on a part-time basis. Reporting to the Director of Finance, this part-time role is responsible for executing established AP workflows, applying coding guidance, maintaining audit-compliant supporting documentation, and preparing transactions for review and approval in accordance with internal controls. The Accounts Payable Coordinator works closely with the Accountant on the review of accounts payable and expense transactions and serves as the primary operator of the Foundation’s AP and spend management systems during an upcoming system transition. The role does not exercise independent accounting judgment or approval authority.

- Strong organizational skills and clear written and verbal communication for routine vendor and internal coordination.
- Demonstrated ability to manage assigned work independently with limited supervision, while adhering to established processes and exercising professionalism and sound judgment when interacting with internal stakeholders and external vendors.
Responsibilities
- Administer and process the Foundation’s accounts payable and expense management activities, including invoice intake, coding, routing, and batch preparation, in accordance with established workflows and systems.
- Apply established coding guidance and procedures to AP and expense transactions; identify and escalate nonstandard, unclear, or incomplete items for review.
- Prepare, archive, and maintain complete, accurate, and audit-compliant supporting documentation for all AP and expense transactions.
- Operate AP batch workflows as designed by the Director of Finance, including preparing batches, monitoring approval status, and resolving processing issues prior to payment.
- Serve as the primary operational point of contact for routine vendor and internal inquiries and coordinate with the Accountant on transaction review and period-end cut-off procedures.
- Support execution focused ad hoc projects related to accounts payable, expense processing, or system operations, as requested by the Director of Finance.
