Lead AI Engineer, Live Nation

• Passionate and motivated. Driven, with an entrepreneurial spirit. Resourceful, innovative, forward thinking and committed
• We are looking for a self-starter who brings structure to undefined problems - someone who can break down a business process as readily as they can architect an agent
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Finance, Accounting, or a related field
• 8+ years of professional engineering experience, including 3+ years designing and delivering production LLM-based applications and agentic workflows, with demonstrated technical leadership
• Experience applying AI, machine learning, or advanced automation to finance or accounting processes
• Solid understanding of finance and accounting concepts, including P&L structure, close and reporting processes, and how financial results relate to underlying transactional data
• Full-stack development experience, with the ability to build and ship user-facing applications and review interfaces (e.g., React, Streamlit, or similar) without relying on a separate front-end team
• Strong 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

Desirable

• 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 code ships to production, and your technical 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
• 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 LLMs, RAG, 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 business 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
• Partner and Discover:
• Partner with Finance leadership and operational finance teams to understand how work is done today and decompose workflows to identify where AI can assist
• Serve as a translator between finance and technical stakeholders, ensuring solutions reflect how the business actually works
• 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
