Senior Vice President Finance, Trilogy (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

Are you a finance guru who thrives on turning chaos into order? Imagine leveraging your expertise to create a finance system so robust it can support and expand a billion-dollar education empire, all without your constant oversight.

This isn't your typical finance position. At Trilogy, we're transforming the educational landscape with a diverse range of schools, EdTech innovations, and pioneering curriculum models like 2 Hour Learning. We need a visionary operator to propel our finance function into a realm of AI-driven automation, scalability, and precision.

In this role, you'll craft systems instead of managing teams. Dive deep into tools like NetSuite and Ramp, identifying opportunities to enhance or replace them with sleeker AI alternatives. From tuition payments to tax documentation, you'll ensure every process is seamless and virtually invisible. We're not after someone to merely 'optimize workflows'—we want someone who can eliminate them. If you believe finance teams are inherently bloated and that AI is the cure, here's your chance to demonstrate it.

You'll not only learn our billion-dollar business-building strategies but also codify and scale them repeatedly.

Ready to revolutionize finance? Apply now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Architecting AI-centric financial processes that remove manual interventions in billing, reporting, compliance, and controls.
• Developing automations and utilizing LLM tools to replace human errors in systems like NetSuite and Ramp.
• Guaranteeing seamless and scalable execution of critical processes such as tuition and ESA payments, tax documentation, and audits.
• Establishing audit-ready financials and reporting structures scalable across diverse educational business lines.
• Constantly refining and redesigning finance infrastructure to support billion-dollar business units without increasing headcount.
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Overseeing a large team of finance personnel—this position focuses on systems, not people.

• Accepting current ERP workflows as 'sufficient'—you'll actively seek and eliminate inefficiencies.
• Delegating challenging tasks to junior staff—you lead by example.
