Senior Director, Engineering - Agentic Business Systems
WFA Digital Insight
Wrapbook is tackling a uniquely complex problem: making AI the invisible infrastructure that powers every financial and operational decision on a production. The Senior Director, Engineering will not just supervise code; they will shape a platform where non‑engineers can safely build and run AI workflows that touch payroll, accounting, marketing, sales, and support. What sets this role apart is the blend of deep technical leadership with hands‑on product building—think architecting persistent context for agents while simultaneously delivering high‑impact automation for the business. Reporting directly to the CEO, the leader gets both the strategic visibility and the operational freedom to experiment fast, all within a remote‑first culture that values AI as core infrastructure rather than a bolt‑on feature.
Job Description
About us
Wrapbook is the AI platform for production finance. We’re building a system of action that puts finance teams in control of their whole production, from payroll, to spend, to accounting. Built for feature films, TV, and commercials, Wrapbook is trusted by teams at Netflix, Paramount, Anonymous Content, and more. With backing from Andreessen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Jeffrey Katzenberg's WndrCo, our team of 350+ is using AI to transform how finance teams work and empower them to do more with less. The Opportunity - Senior Director, Engineering - Agentic Business Systems (Remote - USA / Canada) Wrapbook is the system of action for the entertainment industry — where every decision, dollar, and day is planned, executed, and understood in one place. Wrapbook processes payroll, accounts payable, and accounting for film, TV, and commercial productions. We provide a system that connects production companies with cast, crew, and talent agents to keep productions on time and on budget. We're not building toward incremental improvement. We're building toward a company that operates at the output of one 5x our size — by putting AI at the center of how we work, not as a feature, but as infrastructure. This is a deeply technical leadership role. You are someone who is already building managed agents and you're excited by the hard, unsolved problems: how to give agents persistent context across an entire company, how to wire identity and memory so an agent knows what it should and shouldn't, how to make all of this safe and scalable. You'll own how Wrapbook deploys AI internally within business units. You'll lead a mixed team of engineers, product managers, and embedded business users responsible for two things at once: building the platform capabilities that make AI usable across the company, and directly shipping the workflows that run on top of it. Those workflows span Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Support, Finance, and Operations. Your team won't just hand business users tools — you'll sit with them, understand their work, and build agentic workflows that take real tasks off their plates. You'll report to the CEO and work cross-functionally. You'll have the mandate, the visibility, and the air cover to move fast — and the expectation to build software with meaningful business impact. What You'll Do - Build the platform. Own the internal AI deployment infrastructure — make it possible for non-engineers to safely build and run AI workflows at scale.- Ship the workflows. Directly build high-leverage agentic workflows across Marketing, Sales, Success, Support, Finance, and Operations. Find the highest-friction, highest-volume work in each function and automate it.
- Enable business users.
- Lead a mixed team. Manage a cross-functional group of engineers, PMs, and embedded business users. Set direction, hold a high bar, and build a culture where shipping and learning happen fast.
- Partner across the org.
- Own the outcomes. Define what success looks like — adoption, time saved, throughput gained, cost avoided — and report on it credibly to the SVP of Engineering and CEO.
- Champion responsible adoption.
- Experience leading cross-functional teams — ideally a mix of engineering, product, and non-technical contributors.
- Strong product instincts.
- You're technical and hands-on. A track record of building and shipping software, plus the leadership chops to run a team. You've been hands-on enough to earn an engineering team's respect and strategic enough to lead one.
- You're already building agents.
- A bias toward action. You'd rather ship a rough workflow this week and improve it than spec the perfect one for a quarter.
- Excellent communication. You can translate between business stakeholders and engineers.
How to Stand Out
- Highlight any prior experience building internal AI platforms or agentic systems; concrete examples win interviews.
- Demonstrate how you have turned non‑technical stakeholders into low‑code builders in past roles.
- Prepare a short case study of a workflow you automated, focusing on impact metrics like time saved.
- Brush up on data privacy and security best practices for financial data; expect scenario‑based questions.
- When negotiating, factor in equity and remote‑work stipends, as salary is not publicly disclosed.
- Watch for vague promises about “AI for everything”; ask for specifics on the current platform maturity.
- Tailor your resume to emphasize cross‑functional leadership, AI infrastructure, and product‑focused delivery.
