Are you ready to step beyond the confines of conventional finance roles? At Trilogy, we’re not looking for someone to just manage numbers. We need a visionary to craft the financial backbone that will propel pioneering education ventures forward.

Our mission is to revolutionize the education landscape with innovative models from K-12 to advanced EdTech platforms. Your role is crucial in ensuring our finance systems are not only efficient but also groundbreaking.

This position is about ownership, not just strategy. You’ll be responsible for creating an AI-driven, streamlined infrastructure that minimizes the need for large teams. Your tasks will include managing tuition flows, conducting audits, and handling tax filings by developing clear decision-making frameworks and eliminating unnecessary complexities.

Collaborate closely with senior leaders to drive growth strategies, handle budget cycles, negotiate vendor agreements, and ensure compliance. Your contributions will directly influence the educational experiences of millions.

Join us to be the architect of the next evolution in education financing.

What You Will Be Doing

• Establishing and managing an AI-centric financial framework that supports dynamic educational initiatives
• Crafting key design documents to streamline and enhance financial processes
• Providing insightful feedback on deep dive analyses and improvement plans to refine AI and human decision-making
• Engaging in strategic discussions on financial planning, expansion, vendor partnerships, and compliance
• Overseeing essential financial operations such as tuition management, audits, and tax processes efficiently

What You Won’t Be Doing

Supervising a large team of finance personnel

Overseeing monthly financial closings or manually approving financial transactions

Accepting standard ERP processes without seeking improvements

Delegating challenging tasks—this position requires hands-on leadership

Operating in a static environment—this role is about rapid growth and development

Based within UTC-8 to UTC+3 time zones
