The Natural History Museum / Not An Alternative
Operations & Finance Director
- Deadline:
- Budget: $80,000
-
Eligibility: Open to US-based applicants. Experience in nonprofit operations, project management, finance, and/or administration is a plus, but not required. We welcome applicants who have developed the relevant skills and expertise in other settings. Not An Alternative is an equal-opportunity employer that centers justice and equity in all its work. We are committed to the recruitment and retention of people from backgrounds traditionally excluded from nonprofit and professional leadership.
The Operations & Finance Director is a new, senior role at a 20+ year-old arts and activism organization with four full-time staff and a growing number of projects. Since 2014, we have been running The Natural History Museum––a traveling ‘museum without walls’ dedicated to climate and environmental justice. We produce touring museum exhibitions, public events, films, and more, with teams of cultural strategists, community activists, scientists and scholars, artists, and educators across the U.S..
We seek a detail-oriented, highly-organized team player committed to social justice—someone who enjoys setting up and using tech and organizational systems to improve the efficiency, collaboration, and success of projects with multiple participants and complex, fluid timelines.
This is a full-time position working closely with our Executive Director, Production Manager, and contractors to:
produce and manage work-plans, budgets, timelines, team communications, logistics, and data for touring and online events, exhibitions, media productions, websites, and other projects;
oversee and implement financial, legal, and other admin processes including contracts; invoices/payments; benefits; compliance filings; grant documentation; and financial projections and reports.
lead organizational-upgrade projects, including improved tech for collaboration and project management; expansion of network-engagement tools; hiring additional staff; and the launch of a new Mobile Museum facility.
