The Initiative is seeking a Finance & Operations Manager to help advance our strategic priorities; to establish systems and procedures to enable the work of the Initiative to be done in an efficient and high-quality way; to manage the Initiative’s budget and fiscal resources; and to assist with sustainably growing the Initiative’s capacity, impact, and reputation. The Finance & Operations Manager will report to the Initiative’s Director and will serve as a member of the Initiative’s leadership team, which includes the Initiative’s Director, the Research Director, the Policy Director, the Faculty Director of Housing and Property Rights Programs, and the Assistant Director of Special Projects. The Finance & Operations Manager will develop and improve operational, managerial, and administrative procedures, to ensure the organization is on a sustainable growth trajectory. In collaboration with other members of the leadership team, the Finance & Operations Manager will identify new opportunities for funding, both funding to enable the Initiative’s substantive work to be done on an ongoing and growing basis and capacity building funding to build up the Initiative’s operation’s team by potentially adding communications and advancement/development staff people. The Finance & Operations Manager will also work to build strategic relationships among a variety of internal and external stakeholders to enhance the overall functioning, impact, and reputation of the Initiative and to make assessments about the overall structure of the Initiative’s operations, including, for example, assessments about significant governance issues such as organizational reporting structures and the value and timing of potentially adding an advisory board, for example, as part of the governance of the Initiative.
The ideal candidate will bring a strong track record of operational and change management work in a leadership capacity as well as experience working in a dynamic, startup environment and experience in the nonprofit sector. Knowledge or experience working with land, housing, or other property-related or property-adjacent issues and/or knowledge or experience working with research or policy organizations is a plus. The Initiative seeks candidates whose experience has prepared them to contribute to our strong commitment to diversity and inclusion, both in our internal management practices, in our work and interactions with external stakeholders, and in our work developing short- and long-term strategic plans for the future of the Initiative.
