Corporate Financial Controller, Trilogy (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

Tired of traditional finance roles where innovation means a new Excel template? Step into a realm where your financial prowess meets cutting-edge AI to revolutionize how education empires operate.

At Trilogy, we're not just managing finances—we're reinventing them. As our Corporate Financial Controller, you'll architect an AI-powered financial ecosystem capable of autonomously driving a billion-dollar education portfolio spanning schools, EdTech, and innovative learning models like 2 Hour Learning.

This isn't about maintaining spreadsheets or supervising staff. It's about engineering a financial brain that operates with surgical precision, eliminating manual processes through intelligent automation. You'll transform NetSuite, Ramp, and other systems into a seamless, self-operating machine handling everything from tuition payments to audit preparation without human intervention.

If you believe finance departments should be lean, brilliant systems rather than armies of people—and you have the technical and financial expertise to prove it—you're exactly who we need. You won't just witness how billion-dollar education ventures scale; you'll create the financial infrastructure that makes it possible.

Are you ready to code the future of financial operations? Your blueprint awaits.

What You Will Be Doing

• Architecting next-generation financial systems where AI handles the heavy lifting across billing cycles, compliance monitoring, and financial controls
• Implementing LLM-powered automations that replace traditional human touchpoints throughout NetSuite, Ramp, and other financial platforms
• Engineering failproof mechanisms for critical revenue streams including tuition collection, ESA reimbursements, and tax documentation
• Developing scalable reporting infrastructure that automatically generates audit-ready financials across multiple business lines
• Constantly evolving our financial architecture to support billion-dollar growth trajectories without corresponding headcount increases
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Overseeing a traditional finance department—your focus is building systems, not managing people
• Getting bogged down in routine month-end procedures or transaction approvals
• Accepting inefficiencies as "industry standard"—you'll be relentless in eliminating redundant processes
• Creating work for others—you'll be hands-on in building and implementing solutions
• Maintaining status quo operations—we're scaling rapidly and innovating constantly
