Finance Manager - Harvey, United States - Jefferson Rise
Description
Job Description
Job DescriptionSalary: $50,000-$68,000SCHOOL OVERVIEW
Founded by seven community members in 2014, Jefferson RISE Charter School serves approximately 800 students in grades 6-12. Located in Woodmere (Harvey, Louisiana), we educate a diverse group of students from the Westbank of Jefferson Parish, with a student body that is 52% Black/African American, 30% White, 16% Hispanic, and 2% Asian and where 92% of students qualify as economically disadvantaged.
We believe in educating the whole child, supporting both an academic foundation as well as building students' social-emotional skills and readiness for long-term college and career success. Our model includes:
Since our founding, we have achieved remarkable results with our students. In the school year (the latest year with full data available), our 8th graders outperformed both district and state achievement levels in all subject areas, and our high school earned an "A" growth grade from the Louisiana Department of Education. We have also found that students who spend more time at our school are significantly more likely to score proficient or advanced on end-of-year exams. Since that time, we have been working to support our students throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; while we have seen a decline in scores–mirroring schools across the country–we are committed to providing additional support and innovating to help our students achieve at high levels after the pandemic.
POSITION OVERVIEW
The Finance Manager is responsible for Jefferson RISE's day-to-day financial processes and management, as well as supporting the school's overall financial success. Success in this role will help to ensure that RISE has the financial and operational strength to achieve our goals. The ideal candidate has strong attention to detail, a collaborative mindset, and a passion for creating and refining financial processes and procedures.
As a charter school, Jefferson RISE sets its own academic calendar and daily/weekly schedule based on the needs of its students. This position is a year-round role, although RISE is generally closed for two weeks during both the winter holidays and summer break, as well as other, regular school vacations. Workdays are generally 6:55am to 3:15pm, although this position may have adjusted hours depending on responsibilities. Limited work during school vacations may occasionally be required given financial timelines (e.g., payroll, month close, etc.).
In addition to general duties, Jefferson RISE staff members are also expected to:
Other duties may be assigned as needed.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Ongoing Financial Operations
2. District Reporting & Grants Management
3. Long-Term Planning & Process Improvement
4. School and Community Culture
