About the role

JLM HR Consulting seeks a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, DC. This leadership role demands strong financial strategy and oversight across nonprofit entities. The ideal candidate will have 12–15+ years of experience in financial leadership, preferably in nonprofit or educational contexts. A CPA is strongly preferred. Compensation is competitive, ranging from $170,000 to $185,000, with additional benefits including health and retirement plans.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
