Director of Finance

ioby seeks an experienced finance professional to join our team as our Director of Finance.

For the right candidate this is an exciting opportunity to have a transformative impact at a quickly growing nonprofit startup by building increased financial capacity at the organization, informing and supporting our strategic direction through finance expertise, and ensuring a foundation for continued growth of the organization for the next several years. This is also a critical hire in the growth of the organization’s leadership.

In the world of nonprofits, ioby’s finances are unique for two reasons:
1) we manage a complex online crowd-resourcing platform, processing thousands of small donations a month to hundreds of separate projects each year;
2) we are pursuing increased financial self-sustainability through an earned income model based on high volumes of transactions and continuously scaling our services.

The role will involve a significant amount of systems upgrading and systems building, as well as maintenance of those systems. We are looking for a candidate who is comfortable leading this transition by rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty to solve problems in a startup environment. Reporting to the COO, this team member will be supported in the finance function by our Operations Director and our outsourced bookkeepers.
