  • Full-time

Are you a detail-oriented accountant with expertise in Accounts Payable? Have you worked within an international or publicly listed organisation?

If this sounds like you and you are driven by purpose, join the SOPHiA GENETICS Finance Team as an AP Accountant and enable us to make a positive impact on the outcomes for cancer and rare disease patients worldwide.

Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule allowing 2 days PW home working, collaborating closely with colleagues in our Bidart, FR office.

As an international organisation, English is our primary business language and as part of your recruitment journey, you should expect to meet English-only speakers. You should include your CV in English. Unfortunately, non-English CVs have a high likelihood of being rejected at application stage.

Our mission

We believe there is a smarter, more data-driven way to make decisions in healthcare and our cloud-native AI powered SOPHiA DDM Platform makes that vision a reality on a daily basis. You will have direct input to our mission to democratize data-driven medicine for the ultimate benefit of cancer and rare disease patients across the globe.

Your mission

Reporting to the Manager, AP Accounting, you will play a key role in the accounts payable process, ensuring accurate invoice booking, timely payments, and strong stakeholders relationships while maintaining compliance with internal controls and SOX requirements.

The value you bring:

  • Process and book vendor invoices accurately and timely, ensuring compliance with company policies and procedures.
  • Manage expense reports, payments, and bank reconciliations efficiently.
  • Maintain strong communication with vendors and internal departments to resolve discrepancies and ensure proper purchase requisition and order processes are followed.
  • Support month-end accrual preparations and assist with intercompany invoice bookings.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to facilitate smooth financial operations and uphold SOX controls.

Requirements

We know that every background is different, but to be best set for success we see you bringing:

  • Minimum 1 year of direct Accounts Payable (AP) experience; further experience within an accountancy and finance function benefical
  • Familiarity with bank reconciliations, accrual preparations, and payment runs (typically twice monthly)
  • Ability to work within a multi-entity, international environment with consistent AP processes across countries and departments
  • Basic accounting education equivalent to an accountancy baccalaureate or two years of accounting studies preferred
  • Exposure to SOX controls and internal documentation is advantageous, especially in a publicly listed company context

As a public organisation facing ongoing commercial growth, you will bring a success-orientated and solutions-focused mindset that embraces team collaborations, change, growth and inclusion.

As an international organisation, English is our primary business language and you will need to bring full fluency in English. As part of your recruitment journey, you should expect to meet English-only speakers, so for best chances of success, you should include your CV in English. Non-English CVs have a high likelihood of being rejected at application stage. Fluency in French is also highly valuable.
