Rethink Food is a chef-led nonprofit partnering with restaurants to better feed communities. Through strong partnerships with local restaurants and community-based organizations, we work with a responsive, hyperlocal network that provides culturally celebrated, nutritious meals. Since 2017, we've served over 34 million meals
and reinvested more than $157 million
into local economies.

Our work falls into three core areas:

• Building the Network:
  We connect restaurants, community-based organizations, and food donors to deliver meals where they’re needed most.
• Setting the Example:
  Through our Sustainable Community Kitchen, we demonstrate what dignified, community-centered food access can look like.
• Advocating for Change:
  We champion policy and systems change to create a more sustainable, equitable food future for all.

The Director of Finance and Data Analysis is a leadership role and the CFO's primary thought partner in a lean, three-person Finance team. This role leads financial planning and analysis (FP&A), owns reporting infrastructure, and holds end-to-end accountability for revenue cycle management across all client and funder contracts, with the Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) program as a particularly complex and critical piece of that portfolio.

• Identify opportunities for programmatic cost savings and budget optimization across the organization.

• Own and continuously improve the organization's financial reporting infrastructure — ensuring all departments have timely, accurate data for decision-making.
• Generate reports and create materials to support operational business plans, strategic initiatives, and board-level financial review.
