This role requires a highly skilled and experienced financial executive with a background in high-level management, particularly in nonprofit or cultural institutions. The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker, familiar with generally accepted accounting principles, and possess strong interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills.

The CFO will be expected to work closely with the Executive Director, the Board, and various departments to manage budgets, financial reports, and strategic goals.
