Manager, Finance

You’re the kind of financial leader who turns complex numbers into clear strategy.

The Opportunity

You’ll lead and mentor a team of professional and technical staff, interpret financial information to provide strategic recommendations, and help develop and support the financial policies and procedures that protect our members and the association.
