The Role:Sunbit is seeking an AI Specialist, Finance to design, build and run AI agents and automations for the finance organization.

RequirementsWhat you'll Own:- Map finance processes with the accounting and FP&A teams, and identify where AI and automation deliver real value: reconciliations, classification and coding, close tasks, reporting packs, variance commentary, vendor and invoice handling.
- Build, test and deploy agents and automations on top of the finance systems (NetSuite and others) and the data warehouse, using APIs and integration tools.
- Design each workflow with controls in mind: human review points, logging, audit trail, access limits and clear ownership, so it passes internal and external audit.
- Evaluate build, buy and partner options, including outside vendors and consultants, and keep the tool stack simple.
- Measure results (hours saved, error rates, close time) and report on them regularly.
- Train finance team members to use and supervise the tools, and document how every workflow works.
- Work with IT, Security and Data on data access, privacy and model risk.
What You'll Bring: - 4+ years building automation or AI solutions in a business setting, ideally with finance or accounting workflows.
- Hands-on experience with LLMs and agent frameworks, prompt and evaluation design, and integrating them with business systems through APIs.
- Strong Python or similar, and comfort with SQL and data pipelines.
- Good understanding of finance processes (close, reconciliations, AP and AR) and of why controls and auditability matter.
- Ability to explain technical choices to accountants and finance leaders.
- NetSuite or other ERP integration experience, SOX or ITGC familiarity, and a fintech background preferred.
