Chief Financial Officer

At Eckerd Connects, our mission-driven work impacts thousands of individuals and families across the country through workforce development, youth services, education, and workforce programs.

We are seeking an accomplished Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join our Executive Leadership Team and help guide the future of a complex, nationally recognized organization operating within government-funded and highly regulated environments.

Reporting directly to the President & CEO, the CFO serves on the Executive Leadership Team as the organization's chief financial strategist, steward, and advisor. This executive will play a pivotal role in ensuring financial strength, regulatory compliance, liquidity management, and sustainable growth while supporting critical decisions that advance our mission.

This is not a purely strategic position. We are looking for a hands‑on executive leader who understands the details behind the numbers, can anticipate risks before they become problems, and can translate financial insights into meaningful business decisions for executive leadership and the Board of Directors.
