This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us. THE ROLE The next leap in enterprise Finance will not come from automating what we already do; it will come from making Finance intelligent — helping the Office of the CFO move from gatekeepers to growth catalysts with faster insight, stronger controls, and better decisions at enterprise scale. At Everpure, we do not layer AI on top of legacy workflows — we redesign the work itself. Inside the Office of the CFO, our newly formed Finance AI Factory carries a clear mandate: build AI-native Finance from the ground up — agents that surface insight as events happen, documents that are read, routed, and processed under control, and decisions backed by models that are accurate, auditable, and trusted at enterprise scale.

As Senior Engineering Manager, Agentic AI for Finance, you’ll hire and lead a high-performing Finance AI Factory engineering team from scratch — designing and shipping production-grade, control-aware AI agents that transform how Finance closes the books, applies cash, reconciles accounts, and executes core workflows. This is a hands-on leadership role — roughly 60% architecture and technical delivery, 40% people leadership — for a builder-turned-manager who can set technical direction, raise the bar on quality, coach a high-caliber team, and translate complex finance process pain into trustworthy automation.
