You’ll steward charity: water's financial health and ability to deliver on donor promises by making sure restricted gifts are used accordingly, that commitments to donors are grounded in real deliverable capacity, and that the organization has the liquidity and reserves to meet its targets.

As Manager of Strategic Finance, you’ll work as part of the Strategic Finance Team across two connected areas that together protect our ability to deliver on our commitments: (1) cash flow and reserves oversight to ensure the organization has the liquidity and financial stability to meet its obligations and (2) restricted funds planning and analysis to ensure alignment between capacity and demand.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Strategic Finance, you’ll blend rigorous modeling with hands‑on cross‑functional project management across Revenue, Programs, and Finance. You’ll bring quantitative rigor, investigative instincts, and sound judgment to work that sits at the center of our financial stewardship, making sure the conditions are in place for funds to get allocated cleanly and that the money is there to deliver.
