At Trilogy, we're not just managing finances—we're architecting the future of educational funding. Our portfolio of groundbreaking K-12 schools and EdTech platforms demands a visionary who can build financial systems as innovative as our educational models.
This role is for the builder, the innovator, the architect who sees beyond spreadsheets and headcounts. You'll be crafting an AI-powered financial ecosystem that scales effortlessly with our ambitious growth trajectory. Your canvas? The entire financial infrastructure supporting tomorrow's educational breakthroughs.
Impact millions of students' learning journeys by designing financial systems that make the impossible possible. This isn't about maintaining the status quo—it's about defining the next evolution in educational finance.

Let's be clear about what this role isn't:
- Overseeing a traditional, large-scale finance department
- Getting bogged down in routine monthly closing procedures or transaction approvals
- Settling for off-the-shelf ERP solutions
- Operating from the sidelines—you'll be hands-on in the transformation
- Managing steady-state operations—we're in high-growth, high-innovation mode
