WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The Finance Manager, Maui Wildfires, is an approximately 3-year position (from about August 8). The position will support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Operation to the tragic Maui Wildfires. The Finance Manager will report to leadership in domestic Disaster Finance. The Manager will support the operation with any financial needs related to the entire operation including:

* The response phase of the operation lasting about 1-year.
* The non-congregate sheltering (NCS) financial aspects for about 1-year (within NCS Red Cross pays for survivors whose homes were destroyed to stay in hotels).

Financial needs of the operation that the manager will support include:
* Assisting the operation with using financial transaction tools,

This is an on-site, work-in-person opportunity. Candidates must live on or be willing to move to the island of Maui for the full duration of the operation (approx. 3 years). Candidates must be willing to work almost completely in the office of the disaster relief operation and conduct frequent site visits. This is not a work-from-home opportunity.

Manage staff responsible for preparing information affecting financial plans and/or financial analysis. Gather and interpret financial data and develop recommendations and reports to Management. Contribute to the establishment and updates to applicable financial systems and procedures. Provide support, development and/or leadership guidance to all volunteers.
