- Build and deploy AI Agents that automate low to medium-complexity accounting workflows for corporate accounting teams, ensuring accurate configuration, testing, and documentation.

- Accelerate adoption across corporate accounting teams by leading enablement sessions and ongoing coaching that help users build confidence in designing, deploying, and maintaining their own AI Agents.
- Perform basic troubleshooting by reviewing Agent configurations, validating inputs and outputs, and coordinating escalation with technical or integration resources as needed.
- Support product improvement by sharing customer feedback and observations, participating in feature testing, and identifying usability gaps or enhancement opportunities
- Lead internal enablement sessions by training team members on Transform’s Agent-building tools, sharing technical best practices, and equipping them to confidently support customers in building and deploying AI Agents.
What You’ll Bring
- 4+ years of experience in accounting, audit, or accounting operations roles, with strong familiarity with core workflows such as reconciliations, journal entries, variance reviews, and month-end close activities.
- Background in accounting required, CA (Chartered Accountant) preferred, or US CPA/CMA. Experience in public accounting, audit, or corporate accounting is strongly preferred.
- Familiarity with workflow automation, system optimization, or technology-enabled accounting processes.
- Familiarity with data-flow, API, and integration concepts commonly used in accounting systems.
- Strong communication skills to lead training sessions, workshops, and guided build sessions with corporate accounting teams.
- Ability to break down complex accounting processes and convert them into structured automation steps
- Strong organizational skills to manage training schedules, documentation, and customer enablement activities.
- Willingness to travel for corporate customer training, workshops, and enablement engagements.
Nice To Have
