About the job

As part of a Finance Operations team, you will understand operations and bring an automation and AI-First mindset to help design and build frontier solutions for our most complex operational challenges- navigating scale, data governance, and compliance to re-engineer the future of our processes.

You will not just map out strategies; you will rapidly prototype, test, and deploy AI-driven solutions that replace manual workflows with intelligent, scalable automation. Operating with a high degree of independence, you will bypass traditional, slow-moving development cycles by utilizing AI-assisted development ("vibe coding") and low-code solutions to prove value instantly. You will act as the tip of the spear, showing the broader organization what is possible and accelerating our adoption of AI at scale.

This role requires both an 'architect' and 'builder' mindset. We advocate operational excellence while enabling our Operations Leaders to leverage frontier technologies to solve their most complex challenges. You will bridge the gap between technical potential and operational execution, collaborating closely with a set of partner teams.

You will grow in ambiguous, changing environments and will be passionate about shaping the future of AI-native operations, to make a massive, global impact.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
