The Mitchell Kapor Foundation (MKF) is seeking a Senior Manager, FP&A to lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and analytical support across the Foundation. Reporting to the CFOO, this role serves as a key financial partner to department leaders, the Investment Committee; translating financial data into insight that informs strategic decisions across the foundation's operating budget and investment portfolio.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is equally comfortable building a multi-year financial model, presenting budget-versus-actuals to a department head, and preparing board-ready materials on a quarterly cadence.

• Lead the annual operating budget process in partnership with the CFOO and department and focus area leads, from initial planning through Board approval.
• Build and maintain multi-year financial models that support long-range planning and scenario analysis.
• Prepare rolling forecasts and re-forecasts throughout the year to reflect actual performance and changing conditions.

• Support the monthly close process, including review of cash balances, expenditures, and closing journal entries.
• Prepare and analyze budget-versus-actuals reporting for all departments and focus areas; flag variances and work with department leads to understand drivers.
• Develop clear, consistent management reporting packages for the CEO, Leadership Team, and Finance Committee.

• Own preparation for the annual independent financial and compliance audit, serving as the primary point of contact for auditors and coordinating information requests and follow-up items.
• Lead preparation of materials supporting the Foundation's tax filings, including IRS Form 990-PF, in partnership with the CFOO and external tax advisors.
• Maintain and strengthen internal controls over financial reporting to safeguard Foundation assets and ensure the accuracy and integrity of financial data.
• Monitor compliance with applicable federal and state requirements governing private foundation finance, escalating issues to the CFOO as needed.
• Support FP&A for the Foundation's assets under management, including tracking performance across mutual funds and managed accounts.
• Assist the CFOO in preparing materials for the Investment Committee and in analyzing capital calls and distributions.
• Support long-term financial modeling and cash flow projections in coordination with the CIO and outside investment advisors.
• Contribute to liquidity planning, including analysis supporting a multi-year (3+ year) liquidity outlook.

• Partner with the grants team to track restricted and unrestricted funds and ensure alignment with donor intent.
• Provide financial analysis supporting the Foundation's grantmaking, fiscal sponsorship, and PRI activities.

• Identify and implement improvements to budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes and tools.
• Maintain documentation of financial planning policies, procedures, and standard operating procedures.

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field; MBA or relevant professional certification (CPA, CFA) a plus.
• 6-9 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or nonprofit/foundation finance, including experience building financial models and leading budget processes.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and financial modeling; experience with financial systems and reporting tools (e Sage Intacct, Adaptive Insights) strongly preferred.
• Experience in a nonprofit, foundation, or mission-driven organization preferred; familiarity with private foundation financial and regulatory considerations is a plus.
• Strong analytical skills paired with the ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-financial audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines, including recurring monthly, quarterly, and annual cycles.
• High degree of accuracy and attention to detail, with a strong sense of ownership over the numbers.
• Collaborative, low-ego…
