Outstanding K-12 independent school in North Hollywood seeks a director of finance as an exciting chapter of campus construction is about to begin

SUMMARY

Oakwood School is a two-campus, K-12 coeducational day school in North Hollywood, California that opened its doors in 1951. Now with over 830 students in grades K-12, the school has remained faithful to its original mission ever since: to create a diverse educational environment where young people are partners with the adults; where preparing students for the future occurs by immersing them in the present; where joy and humor prevail alongside academic rigor; and where authentic relationships engage students with their teachers, one another, and the world around them.

With an operating budget of approximately $50M, Oakwood seeks a director of finance to oversee the finance department that includes three other dedicated professionals. The role requires hands-on management of the school’s day-to-day finance operations, as well as a strategic approach to long-term financial planning. As Oakwood enters a multiyear chapter of three separate capital campaigns that will trigger significant construction and development, the director of finance will also play a role in cash management, debt financing, and banking partnerships. The director of finance reports to the chief operations officer and interfaces with department heads across both campuses. Oakwood looks forward to welcoming the director of finance in spring 2025, to allow for a graceful hand-off with the outgoing director of finance, who will be retiring at the end of the ’24-’25 school year.
