    Description

    The New York Climate Exchange (The Exchange) is a new not-for-profit climate solutions center designed to build community, foster collaboration, advance climate knowledge, and empower marginalized communities through cross-disciplinary networking, impactful programming, and cutting-edge facilities. While The Exchange will have a physical presence on Governors Island, its spirit and influence will extend beyond the Island into New York City and across the country and world. Our diverse coalition of partners—committed and prepared to collectively disrupt the status quo—incorporates local and global perspectives on climate change from academia, the private sector, and community-level organizations. As the first of its kind, The Exchange will unlock integrated and scalable approaches to sustainability, ultimately serving as a global model for sustainable positive change.

The Specialist will be instrumental in managing budgeting, accounting, accounts payable and vendor management, financial reporting, and various other essential financial facets.

The individual filling this role will primarily work in-person in the New York City area. Periodic remote work is allowed with prior approval.

    The position reports to the Director of Administration and Finance.

    Salary and Benefits

    Salary for the Finance Specialist is between $75,000-$100,000 per year. The position includes eligibility for generous health and retirement benefits, and paid time off/sick leave.

    Salary will be set based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to qualifications, experience, education, licenses, and specialized training. The above hiring range represents The Exchange's good faith and reasonable estimate of the range of possible compensation at the time of posting.

    1. Assist in financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting processes.
    2. Manage day-to-day financial operations, including accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll.
    3. Conduct financial analysis to support decision-making and strategic planning.
    4. Prepare financial reports, statements, and presentations for management and stakeholders.
    5. Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal policies.
    6. Collaborate with other internal teams to streamline financial processes and improve efficiency.
    7. Assist in audits and tax filings as needed.

    3. Proficiency in financial software and Microsoft Excel. Experience with QuickBooks or similar accounting software is a plus.
    4. Strong analytical skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
    5. Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
    6. Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic environment.

    Note: Research indicates that men tend to apply for jobs when they meet just 60% of the criteria, while women and people from other marginalized groups only apply if they are a 100% match. If you are passionate about our mission and think you have what it takes to be successful in this role even if you don't check all the boxes, please apply. We'd appreciate the opportunity to consider your application.

    You must be able to work in the United States as The Exchange does not yet have visa-sponsoring capabilities.
