Our ideal Director of Finance combines progressive finance leadership experience with strong technical accounting expertise and sharp business judgment. They are driven by improvement, trusted by colleagues, and ready to partner closely with the CEO and senior leadership team to help shape the next chapter of our organization's growth and success.
Experience in healthcare, community organizations, or the not-for-profit sector is an asset, but what matters most is your willingness to roll up your sleeves, solve complex problems, and build strong, trusting relationships.
