Put your finance expertise to the test by shaping a groundbreaking financial system that supports a billion-dollar education empire. This isn't just another finance role—it's a chance to redefine the landscape of education with Trilogy. We're seeking a visionary who can transform our financial operations into a seamless, AI-driven powerhouse.
In this role, you'll craft a system, not manage a team. Dive deep into tools like NetSuite and Ramp, and pioneer smarter AI solutions to streamline every financial process. If you're ready to delete inefficiencies rather than merely optimize them and believe AI is the future of finance, this is your stage.
Here, you'll not only learn the art of building billion-dollar enterprises but also create and scale the blueprint for future successes.
Are you prepared to revolutionize the world of finance? Apply now.
What You Will Be Doing
Create a fully autonomous, AI-powered financial system capable of supporting multiple billion-dollar educational enterprises with zero manual input.
Basic Requirements
Hundreds of software businesses run on the Trilogy Business Platform. For three decades, Trilogy has been known for 3 things: Relentlessly seeking top talent, Innovating new technology, and incubating new businesses. Our technological innovation is spearheaded by a passion for simple customer-facing designs. Our incubation of new businesses ranges from entirely new moon-shot ideas to rearchitecting existing projects for today's modern cloud-based stack. Trilogy is a place where you can be surrounded with great people, be proud of doing great work, and grow your career by leaps and bounds.
There is so much to cover for this exciting role, and space here is limited. Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting and want to learn more. We look forward to meeting you!
