    IEC's deep relationships with leaders, non-profit organizations, and government officials position it well to convene philanthropic forces and engage civic partners in the community to address, mitigate, and solve regional environmental problems.

    The opportunity for IEC is to bring all of these players together to promote an even more thriving – and equitable – region, working collaboratively with other parts of the state to identify long-overdue environmental solutions.


    The Finance and Operations Director will maintain and provide financial data and information about all organizational activities that will assist management, the Board of Directors, and program leads in making sound financial decisions about the organization's operations and future growth.

    Manage and evaluate fiscally-sponsored partnerships in accordance with IEC's policies and the ability of IEC to administer partnerships appropriately.

    Provide financial analysis and information sharing throughout the organization to aid in decision-making and strategic direction, including supporting long-range Strategic Planning goals with financial and economic insights.

    Oversee IEC's fiscal sponsorship program.

    Operations
    Oversee the development, maintenance, and implementation of operational policies and procedures.
    Oversee day-to-day operations, including finance, people management, and office maintenance.


    Leadership:


    Manage/Supervise/Mentor all members of the finance, HR, and operations team in their management of all aspects of accounting, financial, operations, HR administration, investment management, grants and contracts, and information technology.

    Serve as a collaborative member of the Executive Director's internal Leadership Team responsible for organizational policy development and planning.
    Collaborate with staff members to implement IEC's equity, diversity, and inclusion plan.
    Act as staff point person for the Board of Directors Finance Committee and drive sustainable growth.

    Qualifications
    Management experience in a Finance and Operations function; non-profit and/or foundation experience required.
    Strong financial acumen and judgment combined with a passion for environmental justice.

    Expertise in Quickbooks or related accounting software.
    Highly developed interpersonal skills and savvy in relationship and culture-building.
    Detail-oriented with the ability to track to completion of numerous projects and tasks.

    Equal Opportunity Employer
    IEC/IECEF is an equal-opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

    We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, sex, gender expression or identity, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, marital status, protective order status, veteran status, sexual orientation, citizenship status, genetic information, ancestry, pregnancy, certain arrest or criminal history records, homelessness and use of lawful products outside of work during non-working hours or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.

    Equity, Allyship, and Powerbuilding Values

    IEC/IECEF is working always to ensure that everyone on our team feels engaged and supported in all areas of the organization's operations as we work to become a fully inclusive, multicultural, and anti-racist organization.

    We are only as powerful as the people in our movement and those we serve.

    Building power for people and our environment in Illinois requires us to actively combat social and political power dynamics that disenfranchise marginalized communities across a broad range of issues beyond those that fall squarely within traditional environmental policy.

    When marginalized communities are empowered, environmental protections become more possible.

    Thus we are called to stand in solidarity as allies with those fighting for justice and to strengthen our democratic institutions where power drives policy change.

    About Our Pay and Benefits

    This full-time position can be based out of the Chicago or Springfield office with a hybrid work arrangement which will include a minimum of 2 days in office.

    Benefits include health insurance, dental insurance, a 401(k) plan, and generous paid time off.
