    Description

    OVERVIEW
    To view the position description in its entirety, please visit:

    America's first trade school, NBSS is a welcoming institution recognized both nationally and
    internationally for learning excellence. Its spacious, 64,000-square-foot facility is located in Boston's
    historic North End neighborhood, the community in which it was originally founded 140 years ago.
    Today, the school continues to bridge opportunity and demand by training the next generation of
    traditional tradespeople using time-honored methods and skills while also creating rewarding, life-long
    careers. NBSS offers a range of accredited and non-accredited courses including professional career
    training programs, skill-building classes and experiences, public programs, exhibitions, community
    partnerships, and more.

    NBSS recognizes that its success has been built on the strength of its faculty and staff: committed
    professionals achieving great results in teaching, student support, administration, and fundraising. A
    vital opportunity to support their efforts has emerged as the School looks to meaningfully invest in its
    people and bolster its systems. The new Director of Finance (Director) will be responsible for building
    up the infrastructure necessary to promote a thriving, highly engaged, and productive environment at
    NBSS, reinforce collaboration and integration, and ensure that the School's resources make it
    possible for faculty, staff and students to do their best work.

    Reporting to the Senior Director of People and Operations, the Director will oversee finance,
    accounting, and reporting activities for an $8M budget as well as reporting on its $29M endowment.
    They will serve as the senior advisor and partner to the President, Provost, and Board of Directors in
    all financial activity including annual planning and budgeting; and ensure that NBSS has the systems
    and workflows in place to support outstanding program implementation and mission attainment.

    The Director will also be charged with identifying new opportunities to improve efficiencies and
    respond proactively to department needs. This includes partnering with the Development team as
    they report out to corporate and foundation funders, and with the Provost's office particularly during
    financial aid cycles each semester to ensure that payments and reimbursements are administered
    properly and efficiently. They will need to analyze the existing processes to ensure compliance and
    mitigate risk, work closely with senior administrators to streamline financial operations, leverage new
    information technology, and establish standard processes that provide maximum benefit to all parties
    involved, including students.

    NBSS seeks a seasoned professional with creativity, enthusiasm, self-motivation and energy. They
    should be able to quickly contribute in a meaningful way as a highly effective and engaged partner to
    senior leadership; use the utmost discretion in all presentations, correspondence, and communication
    with staff, faculty, Board of Directors, and President; and be able to thrive in a small team
    environment, where members "roll up their sleeves", to deliver practical internal support to
    colleagues and students.

    The desired candidate will bring finance and accounting experience in a mission-driven, growth
    environment along with a quick-thinking, flexible, and inclusive approach that appreciates the need for
    consensus while driving progress against stated goals. They will embody systems thinking, able to
    shift between strategy and execution - translating ideas to tactics that affect targeted outcomes. They
    must also bring the cultural fluency, kindness, customer-service orientation, and authenticity
    necessary to represent the institution and serve as a key liaison to its audiences.
