Rare is seeking a Chief Financial Officer in Arlington, VA. Rare is a global leader in driving social change for people and nature. Individual and community action is a vital pathway to safeguarding and restoring our shared waters, lands, and climate.
Rare raises approximately $30 million on average annually, with most of those funds deriving from individual donors, foundations, and corporations. In FY23, Rare raised $40.3 million. As Rare continues its growth trajectory and bolsters its sustainable financial position, the organization’s development enterprise will place renewed emphasis on increasing individual giving; broadening outreach to a more diversified set of donors; growing unrestricted giving, particularly among the Board of Trustees; and building a coalition of foundations to fund innovation and scaling strategies.
Reporting to the President, the CFO is responsible for the development and execution of Rare's global financial, operational, talent, and IT management strategy and will contribute to the development of the organization's strategic goals. This is an outstanding opportunity for a finance executive with global experience and a proven track record of creative problem-solving to join a high-growth, mission-driven organization. The CFO will be responsible for leading a team of 20+ staff and directly manage a team of SVP/VP/director-level staff.
