The Colorado Health Foundation is pleased to announce the search for Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (CFAO), as our incumbent is retiring. Reporting to the CEO, the CFAO focuses on:
The CFAO is a key member of the Foundation’s executive and leadership teams and integral to the effective functioning of our 15-person Board of Directors. The CFAO provides a strategic voice and valued perspective to the CEO, the Board, the leadership team, all staff members and external partners. We look to the CFAO as a strategic leader, mentor, functional expert and risk manager. Traditionally, the CFAO, in addition to daily responsibilities, has led strategic, long-term projects that affect the successful execution of our mission (e.g. new building design and construction, external partnerships, investment strategy changes, overseeing major operational advancements in technology and business processes).
The CFAO has management and mentoring responsibility for 24 staff through the following direct reporting relationships: Chief Investment Officer, Controller and Chief Compliance Officer, Senior Director of Grantmaking Operations, Senior Director of Human Resources and Senior Director of IT and Facilities. In addition, the CFAO is expected to serve as a senior Foundation ambassador connecting with others in Colorado and beyond including peers in other grantmaking organizations, leaders from civic, business, academic and professional contexts, and others with health or community interests that overlap those of the Foundation.
