This Director of Finance role is a true seat-at-the-table opportunity for a finance leader who wants ownership, visibility, and impact. The Director of Finance will step into a mission-driven nonprofit at a pivotal moment systems are evolving, leadership is collaborative, and finance is viewed as a strategic partner, not a back-office function.
