About the Opportunity

This is a high-impact leadership role within a large, mission‑driven nonprofit organization supporting a multi‑entity network with more than $600M in consolidated operations and 200+ programs. The CFO serves as the strategic and operational #2 to the CFO with full visibility and influence across the organization’s financial ecosystem.

This is a rare opportunity to shape complex financial operations, lead a high‑performing team, and directly contribute to work that impacts children, families, and adults across large‑scale community programs.

• Relocation support available for the right candidate

Why This Role Is Exceptional

• Direct partnership with the CFO, regular interaction with board, affiliate presidents, auditors, and key leaders.
• Financial leadership across a large, multi‑entity, grant‑funded environment.
• Work that directly supports community-serving programs and the greater good.

• Represent the finance function to the board, auditors, and oversight bodies.
• Communicate complex financial information clearly to non‑finance leaders.
• Write, update, and implement financial policies, SOPs, and protocols.
• Drive accountability around deadlines, deliverables, and accuracy.
• Roll up sleeves and engage in hands-on work when necessary.

  • nonprofit experience strongly preferred, but adaptable for-profit backgrounds may be considered
