ABOUT WQED
WQED Multimedia champions communities by telling stories and creating experiences that educate, entertain and inspire our neighbors and friends in Pittsburgh and across southwestern Pennsylvania. Seventy years ago, we launched the country's first community-supported television station-a forerunner to PBS. Fifty years ago, our classical radio station went on the air. Looking forward, we aim to become known as more than a broadcaster as we enrich communities through education and storytelling.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

The annual compensation band for this full-time position is $80,000 to $100,000, commensurate with experience. This position is also eligible for performance bonuses as a reward, based on overachievement against goal and/or key milestones. Employer-sponsored benefits include health insurance via UPMC's Business Advantage plan ($500 deductible, with premiums on a wage-based sliding scale). WQED pays 100% of the premiums for: Delta Dental PPO, long-term disability insurance from The Hartford, and basic life insurance at 1.5X salary. We offer optional vision insurance through Vision Benefits of America. After 12 months, WQED also contributes 5% of employees' salary to a 403(b) retirement plan managed by TIAA-CREF.

THE ROLE

The Controller will be accountable for WQED's finance, accounting and financial reporting activities. The Controller will present to the Board's Finance and Audit committees and will be a key member of the senior leadership team.

The Controller will lead all day-to-day financial operations for an operating budget of $14 million and supervise a team of two staff members with functional responsibility for accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and grants administration. The Controller will ensure that WQED has the systems and procedures in place to support effective program implementation and clean audits. The Controller will work closely with program leaders and their staffs, not only to educate them regarding finance and accounting procedures, but also to explore how the finance function can support program growth.

This is an extraordinary opportunity for a mature leader with seven or more years of accounting and finance experience, ideally beginning in accounting and audit, followed by experience gathering, evaluating, presenting and reporting financial information to executive teams and external stakeholders. An ideal candidate will have experience at a complex nonprofit with multiple programs.

  • Engage the Board's Audit and Finance committees around issues and trends in financial operating models and delivery.
  • Oversee all financial, project/program and grants accounting; ensure that expenditures are consistently aligned with grant and program budgets throughout the grant/fund period; collate financial reporting materials for government, corporate, and foundation grants.
