Job description

Your Impact at LILA

Lila Sciences Finance is building AI into how the function works, not as a side experiment but as an embedded capability across Strategic Finance, FP&A, Procurement, and Accounting. We need someone to help us go from informal experimentation to shipped tools the team actually uses.

This co-op will work across the Finance organization to identify high-impact AI use cases, prototype working tools against our internal data, and measure the time and accuracy gains those tools produce. You will partner directly with finance stakeholders, get up to speed on the team's existing finance tech stack, build proof-of-concept tools with LLM APIs, and help us turn successful pilots into a playbook the broader Finance team can scale.

This is a hands-on role at the intersection of applied AI and corporate finance. The work you ship will go into use immediately.

What You'll Be Building

Ramp quickly on the Finance team's existing tech stack across ERP, FP&A, expense, and procurement systems
Partner with FP&A, Procurement, Accounting, and Strategic Finance to identify high-value AI use cases
Prototype tools using LLM APIs against Finance workflows and internal data sources from existing systems
Measure time savings, accuracy gains, and adoption impact of each prototype
Scope ambiguous problems into shippable proof-of-concept tools
Document what works and capture best practices for broader Finance team adoption
Support the rollout of successful pilots from prototype to team-wide use

What You'll Need to Succeed

Hands-on experience using an LLM API (Anthropic, OpenAI, or similar) to build something beyond chat
Finance or business coursework sufficient to partner credibly with FP&A, Procurement, and Accounting stakeholders
Comfort ramping quickly on unfamiliar business software and integrating against it
Strong written communication
Ability to scope ambiguous problems into shippable prototypes
Currently pursuing an undergraduate or master's degree
Available for the full July to December term

Bonus Points For

Exposure to forecasting, variance analysis, or financial reporting workflows
Prior hands-on use of ERP, FP&A, expense, or procurement platforms
Experience working with internal datasets or data pipelines
Familiarity with evaluating and measuring AI tool impact
