Finance Director

Full-Time Exempt Position. Based in Nashville. Reports to the Senior Director of Operations and Finance.

ABOUT TIRRC

The Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC) is a statewide, immigrant and refugee-led

collaboration. Our mission is to build power, amplify our voices, and organize communities to advocate for

our rights. Our vision is a stronger, more inclusive Tennessee where people of all nationalities, immigration

statuses, and racial identities can belong and thrive. TIRRC has an affiliated entity, TIRRC Votes, a separate,

but related, nonprofit organization that is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(4) of the

Internal Revenue Code. Although TIRRC and TIRRC Votes share a common goal of building power for

immigrants and refugees in Tennessee, they are separate organizations with their own board of directors. A

set of employees at the two organizations, including the person filling this position, shares their time between the two organizations. This has no effect on salary or benefits.
