Chief Finance and Operations Officer

Opportunity 180 works to ensure every kid in Nevada graduates from high school college- and career-ready, prepared to live the life they dream. We are entering Year 4 of an ambitious 10-year goal to ensure 100,000 more students have access to a high-quality education in their neighborhood. This includes investing in the ideas and learning environments of more than 650 current and future education leaders and bringing $100 million into the market to create the conditions for great schools to thrive.

Nevada has a nearly 86% statewide graduation rate, yet about one in five high school students is on grade level in math and only half are on grade level in English Language Arts. Opportunity 180 partners with the broader community to advance practice-based and policy-centered solutions to the state’s persistent educational challenges. We align leaders around a shared North Star and use evidence and data to build sustainable conditions in which effective solutions can launch and thrive.

To meet our 2030 goals and build what comes next, Opportunity 180 seeks a Founding Chief Finance and Operations Officer to serve as a strategic partner to the CEO, Board, and leadership team. The CFOO will translate strategy into durable financial, operational, compliance, and people systems; strengthen organizational stability; and position Opportunity 180 for its next stage of impact beyond the current strategic framework.

This is an enterprise finance leadership role with substantial operational responsibility.

Opportunity 180 has a strong balance sheet and continued growth expected over the next three years; the organization is ready to build the financial and operational infrastructure required for its next stage.
