Director of Finance & Operations [Herreshoff Marine Museum / America’s Cup Hall of Fame, Bristol, RI]

This is an extraordinary opportunity for an accounting and finance professional with seven to ten years of experience, including experience gathering, evaluating and presenting financial information to executives and board-level stakeholders. You will ideally have experience in a complex nonprofit that has multiple revenue streams. We’re looking for an outgoing problem-solver with a positive, “can do” attitude; an individual who enjoys working as part of a team that knows where it’s headed, but doesn’t always know exactly how to get there. In this role , you will monitor and control all financial activities of the Museum, meet all internal and external customer requirements and ensure that all activities within the accounting office are in compliance with all appropriate control procedures and requirements. You will work closely with all departments to monitor expenses, and you will supervise the activities of the accounting office to ensure that timely financial data is available and sound decisions are made. This role encompasses management of day-to-day operations of the museum in collaboration with Facilities Management and Collections Management to ensure the care and safety of the collections and the building as well as capital improvements related to building and grounds. Qualified applicants should email a resume to w.lynn@herreshoff.org and include the job title in the subject line. Posted on: 12/30/2015
