Director of Finance & Operations

CLRJ is the leading California-based Latina/e Reproductive Justice organization and is the only statewide organization whose mission focuses specifically on promoting Latinas’/es’ Reproductive Justice. Reproductive Justice is a framework for movement building developed by indigenous women and women of color that simultaneously prioritizes the rights to:
1) not have children, and control one’s fertility accordingly through access to critical reproductive health service, including abortion;
2) have children if one so chooses, and be free of interference in one’s reproductive life by the state or other institutions;
3) parent the children one has in safe and healthy environments;
4) bodily autonomy.

We build Latinas’/es’ power – particularly the most underserved Latinas/es, low-income women of color, and immigrant women – through policy advocacy, community organizing, alliance-building, leadership development and long-term movement building strategies.

The central role of the Director of Finance & Operations (DFO) will be to provide direction, strategy and oversight of CLRJ’s infrastructure, financial and administrative systems. The DFO will report to and work closely with the Executive Director and in collaboration with CLRJ’s staff members and Board of Directors. The DFO will be responsible for managing finance and operations staff, consultants, interns and/or volunteers, as needed.

The ideal candidate has experience and is interested in growing their career in nonprofit management; is passionate about ensuring CLRJ’s financial health and sustainability; and promotes the long-term viability of this dynamic, growing reproductive justice organization.
