Director of Finance, Remote

The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) is the worldwide leader in mountain bike advocacy, and the only organization in the U.S. focused entirely on trails and access, for all types of mountain bikers, in all parts of the country. IMBA is dedicated to growing the quality and quantity of mountain biking trail communities through a network of grassroots mountain biking advocacy organizations, technical assistance, and capacity‑building programs.

We are focused on creating Model Trail Communities and ensuring that everyone has access to great trails by supporting communities who want to invest in sustainable trail design and construction, helping them turn their visions of becoming a trail community into action‑based advocacy.

The Director of Finance is a full‑time, exempt position responsible for daily financial, accounting and business operations tasks to ensure the company’s financials, budgeting and regulatory processes are timely and accurate. While we are a non‑profit organization, we do operate with earned income using project‑based accounting in our planning, construction and signage teams.

This role will work to ensure IMBA’s long‑term financial health, growth, and strategic planning for IMBA's mission. Key duties include fundraising strategy, grant management oversight, financial analysis, budgeting, forecasting, risk management, and advising the CEO & Board as a member of our Executive leadership team.

There is additional external leadership in working with major donors, foundations, auditors, and ensuring financial alignment with mission goals.

At IMBA, we strive to be a diverse team with shared values who look every day to serve the mission while having fun  are flexible yet committed, and we show up to work hard every day in our fully remote culture. You do not have to be a mountain biker to contribute to our team, but we hope candidates applying have the passion of protecting public lands and trails, and believe bikes can help to build stronger communities.
