Cambridge, United States On The Rise, Inc Full time

**Finance and Admin Specialist**

On The Rise, Inc. seeks a full-time Finance and Admin Specialist to begin immediately. The Finance and Admin Specialist is crucial to the financial health of the organization and will support positioning the organization’s financial resources for maximum alignment with organizational goals. This position is responsible for ensuring effective financial management, accurate accounting records, compliance with financial regulations, and efficient financial operations. The services and impact of On The Rise are delivered through the efforts of 16 highly dedicated team members and the $2.3 million annual operating budget is currently sourced through government grants (46%) and raised from private sources (54%).

Reporting to the Director of Finance and Operations, the Finance and Admin Specialist (FAS) is a member of a four-person Operations Team, along with the Resource Coordinator and Operations Coordinator. The Operations Team provides support across the organization and ensures that all areas of the organization have the financial resources, physical/tangible resources, space, and effective processes in place to accomplish their part of the mission.

**Overview of On The Rise, Inc.**

**On The Rise, Inc. (OTR) **is a dynamic Cambridge, MA-based non-profit founded in 1995 that serves women, trans, and non-binary people currently/formerly experiencing homelessness throughout the region. Our Safe Haven day program provides a space where participants can meet some of their tangible needs, such as taking a shower, receiving their mail, or doing laundry, as well as meet one-on-one with advocates to work on longer-term goals. The Keep The Keys program supports our participants as they transition into stable housing and the opportunities and challenges that presents. Our innovative approach supports our participants’ initiative and core strengths to help them find safety and discover new possibilities. OTR is committed to social justice, dismantling oppression, and striving to be an anti-racist organization.

At On The Rise, the core of our work is building authentic, long-term relationships with program participants. Through these relationships we foster the trust and belonging that is foundational to people’s feelings of agency, empowerment, and safety in community. Program participants display enormous strength and ingenuity in coping with challenges such as homelessness, domestic violence, mental illness, the after-effects of childhood abuse, involvement in the legal system, systemic oppression, and intergenerational trauma. We work to meet people where they are and follow their self-determined visions of success as they navigate structural barriers and challenges. We strive to create a low-threshold environment where people can bring their whole selves, while also holding each individual accountable to the community.

**Hours, Activities, and Responsibilities**

OTR’s normal business hours are 8:00am-4:00pm on weekdays. The FAS is a full-time, exempt position, and is eligible for a hybrid work schedule.

The FAS is responsible for the day-to-day finance and administrative functions of On The Rise, and currently works with an external bookkeeping service and an external payroll service that support the financial operations. As such, this position has responsibility for matters relating to accounting and finance, human resources, and managing government contracts.
