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

You’ve mastered finance at scale. You’ve led audits, wrestled with ERPs, and turned chaos into compliance. Now imagine using that expertise to build a finance system so powerful, it can run — and grow — a billion-dollar education empire without you.

This is not your average finance gig. At Trilogy, we’re revolutionizing education through a portfolio of schools, EdTech, and breakthrough curriculum models like 2 Hour Learning — and we need an operator who can match that pace of innovation. You’ll lead the charge in turning our finance function into an AI-powered engine of automation, scale, and surgical precision.

This role is about designing a system, not managing a team. You’ll work hands-on inside tools like NetSuite and Ramp — and you’ll identify ways to augment or replace them with smarter, leaner AI solutions. Tuition payments, ESA reimbursements, tax documentation, audits — you’ll ensure every process is airtight and invisible. We’re not looking for someone to “optimize workflows.” We’re looking for someone who deletes them. If you believe most finance teams are bloated by default, and that AI is the antidote, this is your opportunity to prove it.

You won’t just learn how we build $1B businesses — you’ll codify the blueprint. And then scale it, again and again.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing AI-first financial processes that eliminate manual touchpoints across billing, reporting, compliance, and controls
• Building automations and using LLM tools to replace error-prone human tasks in NetSuite, Ramp, and other finance systems
• Ensuring mission-critical processes like tuition and ESA payments, tax documentation, and audits run seamlessly and at scale
• Creating audit-ready financials and reporting flows that can scale across multiple education business lines
• Continuously iterating and re-architecting finance infrastructure to support $1B+ business units without adding headcount
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Managing a large team of finance staff — this role is about systems, not people
• Babysitting month-end close cycles or manually approving transactions
• Accepting existing ERP workflows as “good enough” — you’ll hunt for waste and kill it
• Delegating the “dirty work” to junior staff — you lead by doing
• Operating in a steady-state environment — this is rapid scale, not maintenance mode
