Interfaith Alliance is a vibrant, growing and trusted network of people of diverse faiths and beliefs across the country working together to build a resilient democracy and fulfill America's promise of religious freedom and civil rights not just for some, but for all.

We mobilize powerful coalitions to challenge Christian nationalism and religious extremism, while fostering a better understanding of the healthy boundaries between religion and government. We advocate at all levels of government for an equitable and just America where the freedoms of belief and religious practice are protected, and where all persons are treated with dignity and have the opportunity to thrive.

We seek a seasoned, collaborative and mission aligned Vice President of Finance and Administration to lead all non-programmatic operations of Interfaith Alliance and its affiliated 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities, ensuring the organization is financially sound, above-reproach with legal compliance, well-staffed, and operationally excellent.
