THE ROLE Future Caucus seeks an experienced and detail-oriented Senior Director of Finance / Controller to lead finance operations on our team. They are responsible for the integrity of our financial systems, reporting, controls, compliance, planning, and analysis. This position will also ensure high-quality accounting practices, support strategic organizational decision-making and budgeting, oversee financial grant reporting & contracts, and equip our executive team and department leads with the financial information, tools, processes, and guidance they need to actively manage their budgets and be effective stewards of organizational funds.

We’re looking for someone who gets excited about the idea of finance system transformation on a growing team. You are just as eager to think big picture about the systems of the future as you are to roll up your sleeves and actualize those systems in the day to day. At Future Caucus, the operations & finance teams are service-oriented and exist to enable impact and efficiency across the organization.

We understand that a strong financial & operational backbone equips those within the organization to dream up and do big things while sufficiently managing organizational risks. We’re looking for someone who possesses a similar orientation to their work: someone who asks the right questions, surfaces risks early, and helps us model what’s possible by working with the COO to translate big ideas and organizational ambitions into clear financial scenarios, tradeoffs, and pathways for sustainable growth.

This job is for you if you can effectively communicate with stakeholders ranging from the coordinator level to the C-suite and Board of Directors and have an exceptional ability to manage up and laterally. The ideal candidate has a strong background in nonprofit finance, is a proactive communicator, and is known for letting no detail go unnoticed. They will report to the Chief Operating Officer and oversee the relationship with our part-time external accountant, audit team, and other financial vendors.

Our hope is to bring someone on to our team who is eager to lead on establishing systems that will help us scale to our next level of impact, and wants to grow alongside the organization. RESPONSIBILITIES Financial Strategy & Leadership
