Summary

The Amalgamated Foundation is redefining philanthropy by empowering activism, harnessing generosity, and leveraging technology to build new pathways to move resources quickly and strategically to the frontlines of social change. Since launching in 2018, the Foundation has given away $500 million and built a strong network of partners across the sector. With a goal of reaching $1 billion contributed by 2026, the Foundation is focused on leveling up for sustainable future growth and increasing its ability to seed, convene, and build movements.

To support their growth trajectory, the Foundation is seeking nominations and applications for their inaugural Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This seasoned CFO will play an instrumental role in helping shape the Foundation’s next chapter, leading the financial and investment management functions of the organization. They will act as a strategic and business partner with the leadership team, helping the team provide greater clarity and insight into the Foundation’s business model, weigh opportunities, and represent the financial perspective in big-picture strategic conversations. This will include providing key strategic acumen around how the Foundation can diversify its financial structures in the service of moving capital more flexibly, as well as providing long-term sustainability for the Foundation. They will bring entrepreneurial energy to this nontraditional CFO role, building innovative financial strategies, systems, and processes to support the Foundation’s evolving business model and its ambitious growth trajectory. This role will require the CFO to forecast, adapt, and manage diverse revenue streams, including impact investing, fee-for-service structures, and grantmaking diversification.

The Amalgamated Foundation seeks candidates who are seasoned finance professionals with experience in scaling organizations and who bring a broad vision and experience in redistributing capital innovatively and in alignment with the Foundation’s values. They must have deep comfort navigating ambiguity, leading collaboratively, and creatively solving complex financial challenges with a small team.

The CFO will report to the CEO, and they will supervise a growing team, including the Finance Director and Finance Manager. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic leader to help shape and scale the financial strategy of a mission-driven organization, redefining the role of philanthropy in advancing social change.
