Hood River, United States Farmers Conservation Alliance (FCA) Full time

Finance Director

*See below for how to apply*


Farmers Conservation Alliance (FCA) is a non-profit organization that operates at the intersection of agriculture, water, and energy. We are excited to hire a Finance Director to work as a key architect of our financial future. In this role, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping our financial strategy, fueling our growth trajectory, and ensuring we have the financial resources to achieve our ambitious goals. An ideal candidate would excel at both systems thinking and analysis, helping our finance team develop and maintain essential financial reports, while deriving meaning from those reports, to support strategic and tactical decision-making across multiple programs and projects.


ABOUT US


Our staff of 45 strategy consultants, funding specialists, technical professionals, and public policy experts believe that everyone can win – farmers, rivers, and communities. We formed 20 years ago to successfully bring an innovative fish screen technology to market. This farmer-developed technology, now known as the Farmers Screen, helps to keep fish and debris in rivers and out of water supplies.


Since that time, our work has expanded to include the Irrigation Modernization Program—an innovative program to help farmers and ranchers modernize all aspects of their water delivery systems. Staff work with water users, agencies, and organizations to design, finance, and implement large-scale solutions and technologies that improve water delivery systems, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and generate renewable energy.


Our headquarters in Hood River, Oregon, inspires staff in both their professional and personal lives. Hood River’s abundant apple, pear, and cherry orchards and salmon-bearing streams provide daily context for our work. The Columbia River Gorge and nearby Mt. Hood provide endless opportunities for hiking, paddling, cycling, skiing, and wind sports. Hood River’s one-hour commute to Portland provides staff with easy access to a regional transportation hub, facilitating travel to and from our headquarters.


SO THAT’S US. NOW ABOUT THE WORK


FCA has enjoyed extraordinary growth in recent years. While our finances are well-managed and organized, the increasing complexity of our work now requires the support of a full-time Finance Director to help us grow and improve financial systems to better track multiplying projects and contracts across several Western states. The Finance Director will oversee all aspects of organizational finances, and will work closely with the Executive Director, Managing Director, Finance Manager and finance team to develop and improve financial reporting systems, project and organizational budgeting efforts, and forecasting. Further, as their organization context develops, the FCA Finance Director Job Announcement – July 2024 page 2 Finance Director will prepare analysis for the Executive Director and Managing Director to support strategic decision-making, business model review, project and program strategy, and new initiatives. They will serve as the primary management resource for the finance team on a day-to-day basis, building on and improving current financial management, reporting and tracking systems.  


ESSENTIAL DUTIES

• Manage and oversee the annual budgeting, forecasting, and long-range financial planning processes.

• Provide accurate and timely financial and management reports to management, highlighting key performance indicators and metrics.

• Conduct financial analysis to support decision-making on projects, programs and initiatives.

• Identify trends, risks, and opportunities within the organization to support strategic planning.

• Preparation of presentations and reports for executive leadership, board meetings and external stakeholders.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable insights.
