About UHP

UHP — Unlock Human Potential is building a new category of education centered around whole-human experiential vocational training, leadership development, and purpose-driven transformation. UHP serves veterans, transitioning service members, and purpose-driven individuals through immersive programs that integrate human performance, leadership, wellness, vocational skills, and personal growth.

Our environment is fast-moving, mission-driven, and deeply experiential. We are not a traditional university, gym, military program, or trade school — we are building a scalable human development institution designed for the future workforce.

The Opportunity

UHP is seeking an Accounts Payable Specialist to own the accuracy and timeliness of vendor and subcontractor payments across multiple entities. This individual will play a critical role in the accounting function, keeping the shared AP inbox current, invoices coded correctly, and payments moving on schedule — freeing the accounting team to focus on higher-level financial work.

The ideal candidate is a self-directed operator who thrives with autonomy, takes ownership of a rolling deadline without being reminded, and is comfortable resolving discrepancies directly with vendors and internal requesters rather than letting them sit.

Key Responsibilities

Own the shared AP inbox, ensuring invoices are logged and queued for payment within standard terms

Review, code, and process vendor and subcontractor invoices for payment

Reconcile vendor statements and resolve discrepancies in a timely manner

Process weekly check runs and ACH payments

Respond to vendor, department, and public inquiries professionally
