Master Architect Wanted : Build the Financial Infrastructure Powering Education's Future

You're not just another CFO. You're a systems architect who sees finance as the engine—not the brake pedal—of innovation. At Trilogy, we're reimagining education across multiple breakthrough businesses, from K-12 schools to EdTech platforms. But revolutionary models demand revolutionary financial infrastructure.

This role demands an architect who can design lean, AI-native systems that eliminate bureaucracy while powering rapid growth. You'll own the financial backbone of our education ventures—from tuition flows to audits—through strategic decision-making and ruthless simplification.

Your financial architecture will directly impact how millions of students experience learning. Ready to build the infrastructure behind education's next evolution?

What You Will Be Doing

• Architecting and implementing an AI-first finance system that eliminates inefficiency and scales with our education businesses
• Authoring strategic Important Design Decisions that systematize and scale critical finance workflows
• Providing written feedback on Deep Dives and Improvement Plans that elevates both AI systems and human performance
• Engaging in high-impact strategic sessions on budgets, expansion planning, vendor negotiations, and compliance requirements
• Ensuring seamless execution of core finance operations—tuition management, audits, tax filings—at enterprise scale

What You Won’t Be Doing

Overseeing a bloated finance department—we build systems, not headcount

Micromanaging routine close cycles or transaction approvals that should be automated

Settling for off-the-shelf ERP solutions without strategic customization

Creating work for others—this role demands hands-on system building

Operating in a predictable, incremental environment—we're building and scaling at breakthrough speed

Division CFO Key Responsibilities

Architect and operate a lean, AI-native finance system that powers multiple high-growth education businesses, with zero bloat and maximum scale.

Basic Requirements

CPA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CFA, or MBA

10+ years in progressive finance leadership roles (Finance Manager, Controller, CFO or equivalent)

Senior finance leadership experience (SVP, CFO or equivalent) with comprehensive ownership across all finance functions

Mastery of US GAAP and integrated financial statement preparation

Extensive experience optimizing ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, etc.) in complex, multi-entity environments

Leadership of 5+ external audits with Big 4 firms, from either client or auditor perspective

Superior written and verbal English communication skills, with executive-level presentation ability

Location within UTC-8 to UTC+3 time zones

Nice-to-have Requirements

Knowledge of K-12 education models in the U.S. (private, charter, ESA programs)

Track record building finance automation or AI-driven workflows from inception

Demonstrated success in finance operations across multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction businesses
