Chief Financial Officer

About the Role

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.

  • Serve as point of contact for facilities emergencies and day-to-day operational needs

  • Take on special projects and other duties as assigned
