THE JOB

Venue Nation is seeking a technical leader to help transform how our Finance organization operates - from automating complex workflows to enabling smarter decision-making at scale. You will partner directly with Finance leadership and Accounting teams to identify high-impact opportunities, then design and build the AI-powered solutions that deliver on them, spanning financial reporting, close, reconciliation, and forecasting.

This is a builder-leader role: your solutions ship to production, and your judgment shapes how AI is applied across the finance function. Based within Venue Nation Analytics alongside our Data Science team, you will own solutions from discovery through production. Your work will span a growing portfolio of projects sponsored by the Division CFO. We are looking for a self-starter who brings structure to undefined problems - someone who knows finance from the inside and can build the AI solutions it needs.

WHAT THIS ROLE WILL DO

Partner and Prioritize

• Partner with Finance leadership and accounting teams to identify and prioritize the highest-impact opportunities across financial reporting, transaction accounting, close, reconciliation, and forecasting.
• Map accounting workflows end to end and redesign processes around AI where it adds the most value.
• Serve as a translator between finance and technical stakeholders, ensuring solutions reflect business needs and adhere to necessary controls. 

Build and Ship

• Design and build AI-powered solutions across the accounting lifecycle, from high-volume transactional work (invoice coding, cash application, account reconciliations, journal-entry support, and close-task coordination) to management reporting, forecasting, and decision support.
• Apply large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic workflows to real business problems, selecting the right approach for each use case.
• Stand up pilots in development environments to validate solutions with finance users, and partner with Data Services to deploy to production.
• Collaborate with the Data Science team to apply AI to forecasting and planning workflows, including variance detection and driver analysis.

Build for Trust and Auditability

• Develop evaluation frameworks that measure solution accuracy and reliability against defined thresholds, and produce the documentation needed to meet Finance governance and audit requirements.
• Design human-in-the-loop review workflows, exception handling, and confidence-based routing so that AI-enabled solutions earn trust incrementally.
• Ensure financial calculations are performed through deterministic, auditable logic rather than generative outputs.

Compound the Capability

• Contribute reusable components, patterns, and best practices that accelerate AI delivery across the Analytics organization.
• Monitor deployed solutions for accuracy drift, performance, cost, and adoption, and iterate based on what you learn.

WHAT THIS PERSON WILL BRING

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in finance, accounting, or finance technology roles.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience building AI, machine learning, or LLM-based solutions for finance processes.
• Deep understanding of finance and accounting processes - close, reconciliation, financial reporting, and forecasting - and how financial results tie to underlying transactional data.
• Experience integrating with ERP or Salesforce-based systems of record.
• Experience building and deploying AI solutions and agentic applications for business users, from prototype through adoption.
• Expert Python and SQL skills, with experience building against modern cloud data platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently in ambiguous.
• environments - defining scope, prioritizing, and delivering outcomes without dedicated project management support.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical and finance audiences and present clearly to senior leadership. 

Preferred

• Experience in a finance transformation, finance systems, or intelligent automation practice.
• Full-stack or front-end development experience (e.g., React, Streamlit) sufficient to build user-facing review interfaces.
• Experience with Databricks (Apps, Unity Catalog, MLflow, Genie) or a comparable lakehouse platform.
