Description
You’ve outgrown traditional finance roles. You’re not here to push paper, manage headcount, or close books on time. You’re here to architect the system, then use it to scale something that matters.
Trilogy is building multiple breakthrough education businesses, from K-12 schools to EdTech platforms. Every model pushes boundaries. None of it works without a finance function that’s surgical, scalable, and smart. That’s where you come in.
This isn’t a strategy role. It’s a system ownership role. You’ll design the lean, AI-native infrastructure that makes large teams unnecessary. You’ll own tuition flows, audits, tax filings, and you’ll do it by writing decision docs, killing complexity, and scaling the system itself.
You’ll work directly with senior operators to support expansion plans, budget cycles, vendor deals, and compliance filings. Your thinking will shape the infrastructure behind bold new school models—and your decisions will ripple across how millions of students experience learning.
Apply now to architect the infrastructure behind education’s next big leap.

- Managing a large team of finance staff
