Vice President of Finance & OperationsNYC Outward Bound Schools
About NYC Outward Bound Schools: Why can't school be more like an Outward Bound course? NYC Outward Bound Schools believes that students benefit greatly from tapping into the world beyond their classroom and their immediate community to partake in joyful learning experiences that can prepare them to thrive in community, college, and career. In partnership with the NYC public school system, NYC Outward Bound Schools is a non-profit organization that serves over 28,000 students in almost 80 schools across the five boroughs of New York City. NYC Outward Bound Schools provides opportunities for unique, liberatory, experiential learning for students in their social, emotional, and academic development. The organization supports NYC young people both by leading students in outdoor adventure programming that pushes beyond their traditional school experiences and also by coaching and supporting educators on how to incorporate lessons from these catalytic experiences within the classroom. Ultimately, our diverse and committed staff support NYC young people in unique ways to develop the knowledge and skills to lead with confidence and curiosity, persist in the face of challenges, and live fulfilling lives.
Role Summary: Reporting to the CEO, the Vice President (VP) of Finance and Operations will serve as the overall lead for the operational functions that enable NYC Outward Bound Schools to deliver services and supports to students and schools, as well as a critical thought partner and advisor to the CEO. This role will be responsible for leading and developing the financial management strategy, including accountability for the financial health and stability of the organization in conjunction with the CEO, and contributing to the development of the organization's strategic goals. In addition, the VP of Finance and Operations will be charged with overseeing, developing, and implementing strategic processes in the IT and facilities space to ensure the organization has the operational and fiscal health to attain and uphold the organization's mission, vision, and values.
