CWS is seeking an experienced and versatile Chief Financial Officer to lead the organization's financial strategy, operations, and reporting, while also overseeing facilities management. This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who thrives in a nonprofit environment—comfortable balancing high-level financial strategy with the practical, day-to-day realities of running a small- to midsize organization. As with every role at CWS, the CFO is expected to pitch in wherever needed, regardless of title or department, to support the organization's mission and team. Key Responsibilities

This is a hands-on leadership role in a nonprofit environment. Success requires not only strong technical financial skills but also a practical, flexible mindset and genuine willingness to support the broader work of the organization wherever needed.
