About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join its collaborative leadership team. The CFO will be a core partner in advancing the institution's strategic, financial, and operational priorities, with a key focus on long-range financial planning, sustainability, and campaign and capital planning to support the new strategic plan. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the business office, human resources, and technology teams, and must be adept at translating the school's financial position and vision to stakeholders. The role is pivotal in the school's mission to educate students for global citizenship, and the CFO will play a critical part in the institution's commitment to inclusion, purpose, service, and social justice. Applicants for the CFO position at the company should be prepared to lead the organization through a period of forward-looking momentum, building on a foundation of financial soundness, operational effectiveness, and deep mission alignment. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in financial management, with experience in enrollment and tuition forecasting. A strategic mindset, the ability to navigate complexity, and a commitment to ethical decision-making are essential. The CFO will work closely with the head of school and the rest of the leadership team, and must be ready to contribute to the school's emphasis on intellectual curiosity, student agency, and collaboration. A graceful handoff with the outgoing CFO is anticipated, and the new CFO is expected to begin in a date to be determined, with the possibility of an earlier start to ensure a smooth transition.
