The successful candidate will be a strategic partner in the institution's continued success, overseeing both financial and operational functions. This role is pivotal in the thoughtful stewardship of the school's resources, facilities, and operations, particularly in the context of a newly approved strategic plan and a period of significant growth and evolution. The CFOO will be responsible for leading a talented team, ensuring that the school's resources align with its mission, and that day-to-day operations are efficient and effective. Key responsibilities include long-range financial planning, capital structure management, and aligning financial decisions with the institution's values and priorities. Applicants for the CFOO position at the company should have a strong background in both finance and operations, with a preference for experience in a mission-driven or independent school setting.
