Chief Financial Officer

The Opportunity:

Opportunity Communities (“OppCo”) is seeking a full-time Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join our leadership team. The CFO will be the key finance leader in a dynamic, creative, and growing organization which is implementing a unique membership model designed to expand the capacity and impact of small- to medium-sized community development corporations (CDCs).

Overview of OppCo:

Founded in 2018, Opportunity Communities (“OppCo”) strengthens the capacity, efficiency, and performance of our member CDCs. Member CDCs are led by and benefit local residents and concentrate on neighborhood, community and affordable housing development. This intensive local focus often limits CDCs’ ability to achieve the efficiency and high capacity associated with organizational scale. The OppCo model solves this problem by allowing the member CDCs to retain local focus and control of their resources and assets, while enabling them to benefit from the efficiency and effectiveness of a larger-scale entity. By centralizing financial management, purchasing, human resources, data and evaluation, information technology, and asset management functions, and by sharing expertise central to the business of community developers (i.e. real estate, resource development), OppCo members are better able to meet local community needs, to achieve deeper impacts in their core lines of business, and to ensure that change is equitable.

OppCo and the CDC members share a commitment to Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI) as one of the foundational principles that unites us. All our members are committed to building equitable communities of opportunity.

Currently operating as a primarily remote organization, OppCo has a staff of 28 and an annual operating budget of approximately $5 million. The member CDCs collectively employ another 70 staff members, have annual operating budgets totaling $16 million, and assets of over $500 million. OppCo is organized as a 501c(3) Limited Liability Corporation; a joint venture of the member CDCs. OppCo is overseen by a Board of Managers comprised of representatives from each member CDC’s board as well as several independent board members.

The CFO Role:

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is the senior financial executive who drives optimal financial performance, collaborates on business strategy, and leads on financial initiatives as OppCo grows and adds member CDCs to its network. The CFO has primary responsibility for overseeing and directing finance and accounting activities, implementing process improvements, and streamlining and enhancing administrative operations. The CFO ensures sound financial management to support financial stability, organizational and member growth and community impact goals. The CFO oversees compliance with relevant laws and obligations and manages organizational risks and liabilities. The CFO also oversees the information technology infrastructure for OppCo and member CDCs.

As a member of the Executive Leadership team, the CFO provides advice and counsel to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of OppCo, the CEO/Executive Directors of OppCo’s member CDCs, and other senior management.
