EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OVERVIEW

Liver Canada is seeking a hands-on Director of Finance & Operations to lead a transformation of our financial operations. This is an opportunity for an energetic finance leader who excels at building structure, discipline, and reliability within a complex, resource-constrained nonprofit environment.
You will play a pivotal role in establishing foundational systems and processes, introducing best practices, and building a culture of financial stewardship and transparency. The successful candidate will demonstrate strategic insight, operational rigor, and the ability to collaborate and communicate with diverse stakeholders, from board members to Regional teams.
In a nonprofit charity, a Director of Finance and Opps role is crucial for ensuring financial health, transparency, and compliance, ultimately supporting the organization’s mission. Unlike for-profit entities, nonprofits prioritize mission fulfillment over profit generation. The finance function in a nonprofit is typically a team effort, involving various individuals and committees with distinct responsibilities.
This role will work collaboratively to manage financial operations, from day-to-day transactions to strategic financial planning and oversight.
The Director of Finance & Operations will be a strategic financial leader. Their primary focus is financial strategy, including leading the annual operating budget creation, forecasting cash flows, establishing financial policies and internal controls, and managing the systems that overlap. The Director of Finance & Operations also manages funding sources, ensuring compliance with CRA and tax laws and overseeing diverse revenue streams like donor funds, in-kind giving, corporate sponsorships, and fundraising events. The candidate will play a critical role in managing outside relationships with CPA firms, banks, and investment advisors, and will be the financial face of the organization.
If you thrive on the challenge of leading finance through change and take pride in delivering stability and confidence to organizations in transition, we encourage you to apply.
