Part time Finance Director

Job Posting: Finance Director

January 2026

One Fair Wage is an organization seeking to raise wages, enhance working conditions in the service sector and end all subminimum wages in the United States.

With the Great Resignation, millions of workers are refusing to work for subminimum wages, employers are raising wages to recruit staff, and the political landscape to advance policy to raise wages has changed dramatically. Given the historic moment, One Fair Wage has launched an ambitious campaign to advance bills and ballot measures in multiple states nationwide to raise wages and end subminimum wages in the US - and through the process, engage millions of unlikely, low-wage worker voters politically. One Fair Wage is thus advancing policy, voter engagement, employer engagement, and narrative and culture shift activities to ultimately lift millions of service workers out of poverty nationwide and engage them in the political process that governs their lives.

The Opportunity

One Fair Wage (OFW) is seeking a Part-Time Director of Finance to provide senior-level financial oversight of a full time finance manager, during a critical phase of organizational growth. This role is ideal for an experienced, strategic finance leader who excels at designing systems, translating complex financial information into clear insights, and supporting executive decision-making in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.

The Director of Finance will provide financial oversight of One Fair Wage’s ecosystem of entities, including a 501(c)(3), 501(c)(4), and several emerging related business ventures. Working closely with the President and Executive Team, this role will ensure strong financial oversight, clear cashflow visibility, compliance across funding structures, and proactive identification of opportunities and risks.

This is a part-time role (approximately 15–20 hours per week) designed for someone with deep senior experience who can operate at a high strategic level while building and refining systems that support sustainable growth. OFW is experiencing a growth spurt, and this role is essential to helping the organization scale with clarity, creativity, and resilience.

The ideal candidate is a systems designer and translator: someone who understands the technical nuances of nonprofit and political finance, can communicate clearly with non-financial leaders, and is entrepreneurial enough to navigate complexity, ambiguity, and constraint without losing sight of mission or momentum.
