The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), a leading voice for innovation in public health, seeks a Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration (SVP).

NYAM’s annual budget is $13 million.
Reporting to the President and a key member of her leadership team, the SVP oversees finance, facilities management, HR, IT, and the Conference Center. As the chief steward of NYAM’s financial resources and operations, the SVP will leverage and build upon the organization’s accomplishments and legacy, provide vision and a long-term strategic perspective to finance and operations, ensure adequate funding for strategic priorities, embrace transparency and collaboration, ensure optimal systems, and empower and support a dedicated, talented staff. The SVP will be an active and contributing member of the NYAM community.
The ideal candidate will be a seasoned, innovative, and accomplished financial and administrative leader with experience in the not-for-profit setting, a comprehensive understanding of the trends and best practices in financial and administrative operations and systems, and a record of success developing and executing a long-term strategy in support of key strategic priorities and initiatives. In addition, the ideal candidate must be an excellent communicator with exceptional relationship-building skills and a proven ability to work collaboratively and collegially in a diverse, mission-driven organization.
