Covenant House Alaska is seeking a strategic, mission-driven Chief Financial Officer to join our executive leadership team and help guide the organization's next chapter of growth, innovation, and impact.

As Alaska's largest provider of shelter, housing, and supportive services for youth experiencing homelessness, Covenant House Alaska serves approximately 1,000 young people each year. We are looking for a financial leader who is energized by both mission and challenge—someone who can strengthen financial operations, guide organizational strategy, and help build the future of our finance function.

This is a rare opportunity for a strategic finance leader to help shape the future of Covenant House Alaska. With a major Net Suite implementation underway and continued investment in the finance function, the CFO will play a critical role in building scalable systems, developing high-performing teams, and guiding the organization's long‑term financial strategy.

If you're looking for a CFO role where your expertise will truly matter, this is it.

As Covenant House Alaska continues to invest in its financial infrastructure, the CFO will have the opportunity to evaluate team structure, identify future staffing needs, and help build a high-performing finance organization capable of supporting long‑term growth.

Covenant House Alaska is implementing Net Suite to enhance financial operations, reporting, and decision‑making. This is an exceptional opportunity for a leader with ERP implementation experience to help maximize the value of this investment while driving continuous improvement across the organization.

As a member of the Executive Leadership Team, you'll work closely with the CEO and Board of Directors to guide financial strategy, risk management, long‑term planning, and organizational sustainability.

Every financial decision supports programs that provide housing, healthcare, education, workforce development, and hope to young people facing homelessness and crisis.
