Job description

Since 2010, Repurpose has been on a mission to make sustainability easy. We live to do well by doing good. We're an omni-channel consumer brand with the best-in-class plant-based, non-toxic household everyday essentials, including plates, bowls, cups, trash bags, and toilet paper that work as well as anything else on the shelf (and look better doing it). We're a woman-led team, growing across DTC, Amazon, and retail. Repurpose has been recently named one of the 'Most Innovative Companies in the World' and a 'Brand that Matters' by Fast Company and has been featured in the Wall Street Journal.

About the Position

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the center of Repurpose accounting operations. You will own a broad and substantial scope of accounting responsibilities end-to-end, and provide day-to-day workflow direction to the AP Specialist and AR Coordinator. You will keep the accounting function running smoothly and accurately in order to power our mission to replace disposable plastic.

This is not a process-management role. You will own month-end close, building and documenting processes where they don't exist, and being the operational engine that makes clean financials possible. If you're energized by breadth, real ownership, and working in a lean team to make a real difference, this is your role.

You'll report to the VP of Accounting and work alongside an AP Specialist and AR Coordinator. This is a fully remote role with occasional travel required.
