JOB POSTING: Manager, Advisory Services, Western Region
Location: San Francisco
Organizational Overview: With seven offices throughout the US, Nonprofit
Finance Fund (NFF) is working with both funders and nonprofit organizations
nationwide to change the way nonprofits are financed. The goal of this
innovative thinking is to create a nonprofit sector that has the financial
strength needed to provide excellent services to the community.
NFF is bringing about this change by:
* Advising nonprofits, through individual and group consultations, in
areas of financial planning and management
* Providing organizations with sustaining loans they might not be able
to secure from other sources
* Sharing our long-term experience on healthy financial planning for
nonprofits
* Advocating broadly to funders and their recipient organizations for
an innovative approach to nonprofit financing
Since its founding in 1980, NFF has helped more than 8,000 nonprofits
implement sustainable growth and thereby improve their capacity to serve
their communities. Headquartered in New York City, NFF has a national staff
of more than 70 in offices including Boston, New Jersey, Philadelphia,
Washington DC, Detroit and San Francisco.
Position Summary: The Manager will be responsible for the delivery of NFF's
full range of advisory services offerings and may have oversight
responsibility for special projects. As a critical member of a
close-working and growing team of professionals, the Manager will be
expected to manage a substantial portfolio of work, all while ensuring
quality financial analysis, effective communication of key NFF messages, and
client satisfaction.
NFF's Managers have the opportunity to work directly with senior-level
financial and strategic decision-makers at a wide range of nonprofits. These
clients come to NFF for assistance in evaluating their financial health and
assessing their readiness for change or growth. Much of NFF's direct client
work is done through our signature consulting service, the Nonprofit
Business Analysis (NBA). The NBA provides nonprofit senior management and
board members with illumination and guidance on ways to better balance
financial management with program priorities. Through the NBA process,
nonprofit leaders gain a deeper understanding of their underlying business
dynamics and capital needs. They become better equipped to plan and make
decisions that improve their organization's health and viability.
NFF Managers will serve as lead NBA consultants, communicating complex
financial concepts to nonprofit leadership and preparing and presenting
reports with findings and recommendations to multiple nonprofit
stakeholders, including funders and Boards of Directors. Managers will serve
as lead presenters of NFF's educational trainings, including workshops and
clinics. Other responsibilities will likely include: providing customized
technical assistance to clients, development of new advisory services,
participation on cross-departmental teams, and working with regional
relationship managers to track and monitor progress on client engagements
and ensure that client engagements are adequately managed and staffed.
Managers are expected to show initiative by taking on and driving work flow
and special projects. They are strong individuals who form and mentor teams.
Managers have a strong work ethic, exceptional interpersonal and analytical
skills, keen attention to detail, and ability to balance multiple client
engagements on tight schedules. The Manager will be a core member of the San
Francisco program team, working to fulfill NFF's mission in the West Coast
market.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
* Serve as lead consultant for nonprofit clients, overseeing analysis
of business health and facilitating dialogue on readiness for change or
growth
* Develop and present reports with key insights to Boards of Directors
and funders
* Present NFF workshops and other group trainings
* Oversee quality assurance for a portfolio of NBAs
* Contribute to national efforts around the planning and development
of the NBA and other advisory services offerings
* Contribute to pipeline management, assuring demand and capacity are
managed within the department
* Manage special programs/initiatives as the need arises
* Represent NFF in public forums as needed
Essential Requirements for Education and/or Experience:
* Bachelor's required; Master's preferred in business, finance, public
administration, or related field
* 5 + years work experience, preferably in the fields of financial
services or consulting
Specialized Knowledge/Beneficial Skills and Experience:
* Exceptional communication (verbal and written) and organizational
skills
* Training/teaching/presentation experience
* Track record managing projects
* Excellent analytical skills and high level of comfort with
quantitative information
* Demonstrated commitment to the nonprofit community, including
familiarity with nonprofit accounting and financial and managerial issues
commonly faced by organizations in the sector
* Excellent interpersonal and networking skills and strong sense of
integrity
* Strong time management and multi-tasking abilities
* Ability to see the big picture while minding the details
* Flexibility and sense of humor
* Ability to work independently and as a team member
* Self-motivated and results-oriented with drive and initiative
* Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications particularly Excel,
Word, and PowerPoint
