Reporting to the CEO, the Managing Director of Finance and
Administration will implement the infrastructure and systems needed to support
strategic objectives. S/he will be responsible for the oversight of
administrative and financial systems including finance, accounting, information
technology, human resources, communications and physical infrastructure. As a
member of the senior management team, the Managing Director of Finance and
Administration will be involved in a range of strategic planning and internal
initiatives.
S/he will work closely with the CEO and the senior
management team to develop YEA!’s strategic plan and, most importantly, guide
and assist our young staff in executing this plan.
The Managing Director of Finance and Administration will act
as the primary liaison to the board of directors' finance committee, working
closely with the committee to strengthen YEA!’s financial position and other
items as required. S/he will continually evaluate best industry practices in
comparison to internal systems and needed resources, with an eye toward both
future needs and budget realities.
This executive will be a deputy director, filling the role
of office leader when the CEO is traveling, often for weeks at a time. As for direct
reports, the DFA will have at least three, including the Chief Accountant, the
Director of Marketing, the Building Manager and other responsibilities as the
relationship develops.
Responsibilities
Finance and
Budgeting
The Managing Director of Finance and Administration will
have overall financial management responsibility, including the review and approval
of monthly, quarterly and annual financial reporting materials and metrics for
the CEO and board of directors. S/he will oversee budgeting, financial
forecasting, cash flow and coordination of audit activities as well as accounts
payable and receivable. The ideal candidate will not only be able to reconcile
financial activities but should also be skilled at capturing key data and
processes in order to demonstrate the relationship between YEA!’s goals and
resulting fundraising needs.
Administration/Operations
The executive will serve as a partner to the CEO on the
organization's administrative and operational processes, with a goal of
continuously developing and improving systems. S/he must evaluate and improve
YEA’s information technology infrastructure, implementing new technologies to
support key capabilities as required for future growth and to drive key human
resource initiatives. Often, this will all need to occur within a limited
budget.
In addition, s/he will have overall responsibility for
recruitment of staff. This will include marketing, operations and management of
this process. The Managing Director of Finance and Administration will also
partner with the CEO and the rest of the management team to ensure that the
focus remains on the organization’s mission while maintaining YEA!’s unique
culture.
Qualifications
The Managing Director of Finance and Administration will
have 10+ years of experience, with at least five years managing the finance and
administration of a $5 million to $10 million organization or business unit.
The successful candidate will have experience leading planning efforts and
running operationally effective organizations that have multiple functional
areas. The Managing Director of Finance and Administration must harness
technology solutions in order to more quickly and efficiently communicate
resources needed for key activities and performance against plans. Working
knowledge of public education would be helpful, but not mandatory. Nonprofit
experience is a plus, with a strong preference for someone who has operated in
a fast-growing environment with a limited budget and resources.
Other
Qualifications
* Demonstrated experience
in financial management and accounting
* Allentown resident or
willing to relocate
* Experience with audit,
legal compliance and budget development

Closing Editorial Comment
from the CEO and Executive Director
The person selected
for this job will be a man or woman who brings very much-needed organization
and financial sense to YEA!. For 31 years, I have shepherded this organization
from a small non-profit to a $5-million, multi-program service provider.
To move to the next
level, we need an executive who has the ability to be a confidant, a leader, a
mentor and an excellent manager.
At this point in our
existence, the fiscal skills are very, very important. If you are not skilled
in this area and not capable of leading a three- or four-person finance
department, this is NOT the job for you.
If you do have the
fiscal skills, we are also offering the opportunity to join with the leadership
team in moving YEA! to a far higher level of existence and service. We have ideas
â€" and we have always had ideas â€" but we are unable, for now, to execute at the
level needed to make a true difference in the world. This is where the
operational aspect of the position comes into play.
I would say that
unless you have a background in or passion for pageantry or at least youth
services, this job will be difficult. Speaking personally, this is not a job
for me, it is my life. And although I realize to ask that of a deputy director
is extreme in their commitment, I am looking for someone willing to lead the
way, play off of my strengths and assist in supporting my weaknesses. I need a
partner, not a critic. YEA! needs a partner.
And let’s not forget,
with weekend events, fundraising and other activities, this is more than a 9-to-5
position.  And therein, this is not
suitable for someone looking to slow down or semi-retire. This position is
perfect for someone who wants to set the world on fire.
If you need more
information or have questions, feel free to write to me at any time at hopkins@yea.org.
Thank you,
George Hopkins
CEO, Youth Education in the Arts
