## Job description

Location: Onsite – Santa Ana, CA
Type: Full-Time
Salary: $70,000 – $85,000 depending on experience
About Us
eJam is a bootstrapped consumer products company that has built, scaled, and exited multiple brands — all without ever taking a dollar of outside capital. Our portfolio includes category leaders ranked at the top of Amazon, carried in major retailers nationwide, and sold across DTC, marketplaces, and every channel in between.
We’re not a startup hoping something works. We’re a team that has done it repeatedly — taken products from idea to category leader, landed them on retail shelves nationwide, and built real brands that consumers love. We operate like a holding company with the speed of a startup: small team, no bureaucracy, massive ownership.
This is the place where you’ll see the entire machine — sourcing, product development, packaging, manufacturing, compliance, marketing, marketplace strategy, retail — all under one roof. If you want to learn how consumer products actually get built and shipped at scale, there is no faster education than this.
The Role
We are hiring an Accounts Payable Lead to own AP across our entire portfolio. You will run the full invoice-to-pay cycle, keep vendor accounts reconciled, and make sure AP closes cleanly every month.
You will report to our Finance leadership and work closely with our AR team, our outside accounting partner, and the operations teams who buy from co-manufacturers, 3PLs, freight carriers and agencies. This is a hands-on role for someone who likes clean ledgers and better processes.
This role is on-site at our Santa Ana, CA office, with the opportunity for hybrid after onboarding and flexible working hours.
What You'll Do
Invoice-to-pay: Intake, coding, matching, approvals and weekly payment runs across all entities.
Vendor accounts: Statements, reconciliations, disputes, and vendor-master setup and changes.
Month-end close: AP accruals, aging review and sub-ledger to GL tie-out.
Controls: Duplicate checks, bank-change verification, segregation of duties and 1099 readiness.
Cash visibility: A weekly view of upcoming payments for finance leadership.
Process improvement: Automate and simplify AP as volume grows with retail expansion.
Requirements
3+ years of hands-on, full-cycle accounts payable, owning the end-to-end process
Experience across multiple entities
Hands-on experience with QuickBooks and Ramp (both required)
Month-end close experience, including accruals and reconciliations
Experience with 1099s and vendor onboarding
Experience mentoring or leading teammates
Experience working with remote teammates
Strong communication and organization skills
Strong Excel skills (lookups, pivot tables)
A habit of documenting processes and catching errors before they go out
Able to work on-site at our Santa Ana, CA office
Nice to Have
Experience with Campfire
CPG, manufacturing, retail or eCommerce vendor base (co-manufacturers, 3PLs, freight)
Experience working with an outsourced accounting firm
Bachelor's or associate degree in accounting
This Role Is Not For You If
You want a purely data-entry role, prefer a single-entity company with slow volume, or want to move straight into managing a team. This seat is hands-on and owns outcomes.
Compensation
Base salary: $70,000 – $85,000 depending on experience
5% annual performance bonus
Benefits
Medical, dental, and vision
401(k) Plan
Company-paid life insurance, AD&D, and long-term disability
PTO and 14 Observed Holidays
Amazing, dog-friendly office in Santa Ana, CA
