JOIN for Justice
Boston preferred but not required
Position Opening: Director of Finance and Administration
Classification: Full-Time, Exempt
Location: JOIN’s national office in Boston, MA (preferred)
Posted: August 2020
JOIN for Justice is building a powerful field of Jewish leaders capable of effectively organizing for justice, both inside and outside Jewish communities in the US. We organize because, in the words of Emma Lazarus, “Until we are all free, we are none of us free”—our destinies are bound up as one. We train and mentor rabbis, community leaders and community organizers through a variety of intensive organizing training programs, in person and online.
In the coming year, for example, we’ll be running our 18-month Clergy Fellowship, wherein we will train and support teams of rabbis in Miami and St. Louis to engage their congregations in new ways and get involved in local multi-faith, multi-racial organizing. We will also be running a new 6-month long national organizing training program for disabled Jewish organizers in their 20s and 30s -- where participants will get intensive training and individualized coaching as they learn about disability organizing history, the nuts and bolts of running campaigns and how to organize to fight ableism, racism and other forms of exclusion.
We believe that our Jewish religious, historical, and cultural traditions compel us to organize our communities and take powerful action together in support of the pressing social justice issues of our time and that those unique traditions can be an indispensable resource in harnessing the power of faith for justice. Thousands of people we have trained are now tapping these traditions and skills as they work in cities across the country forging relationships, building power, and winning change for all of our communities.
Position Overview:
Over the past two decades, JOIN has grown from a startup with a single program to a multi-program organization with 11 staff, a budget of $1.5 million, and an alumni community of thousands of Jewish organizers, rabbis, and leaders.
As we grow from a small to mid-sized organization, we are quickly outgrowing our existing HR and Finance systems. We are seeking a Director of Finance and Administration who can bring their experience to strengthen our financial management and help us build the systems and processes our organization needs to succeed. We are looking for a talented systems thinker & executer, who will play a leadership role in the organization and ensure that our internal operations are working at the highest level.
Our ideal candidate loves spreadsheets, can look at a process and see the system that will enable or sustain success, and is a terrific teacher and interpersonal communicator who can help others in the organization adopt the new ways of working. This candidate also demonstrates a commitment to our mission, brings a social justice and antiracist lens to their work, and is agile and effective in a fast-paced and evolving environment. This position reports to the Executive Director.
Key Responsibilities:
Finance
Provide financial planning, reporting, forecasting & analysis, including cash flow management, budgeting, and scenario-planning of revenue and expenses.
Ensure accurate and up-to-date records of financial transactions and training staff on relevant systems. Supervise reconciliations by contract bookkeeper. Ensure the integrity of the organization’s financial reports.
Ensure compliance with funders’ reporting requirements (note: JOIN is primarily funded by foundations and individuals, and does not generally have local, state, or federal contracts).
Manage the annual audit and filing of required tax forms.
Collaborate and support the Executive Director, Management Team and Finance Committee of the Board to ensure effective financial management systems are in place and effectively utilized.
Collaborate and provide direction and assistance to other staff regarding accounting and budgeting policies, procedures, internal controls, and efficient utilization of financial resources.
