About Us
The Petey Greene Program supports the academic and career goals of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people through high-quality tutoring and other educational programs while serving to educate our volunteers and the public on the manifest injustice in our carceral system.
We envision a world in which all people directly impacted by the criminal legal system have access to high-quality educational programming. The Petey Greene Program will inspire our alumni to become advocates and leaders in transforming the criminal legal system.
The PGP operates the largest multi-state volunteer tutoring program for currently and formerly incarcerated people. Since its founding, the PGP has tutored nearly 20,000 students at over 148 tutoring sites, including both correctional facilities and reentry programs. We've trained and placed more than 4,000 unique volunteers and recruited from more than 40 partner universities in seven states and the District of Columbia.
The PGP is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, but the majority of our 30 employees work in a hybrid arrangement in their respective regions.
The Opportunity
As the Petey Greene Program continues implementation of an ambitious strategic plan that will guide our work from through 2028, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) will play a vital role in overseeing and further developing the organization’s finance, compliance, and administrative functions, ultimately supporting the PGP’s growth and sustainability during an exciting time of organizational expansion.
The CFO will serve as a key member of the executive team, responsible for ensuring the financial health, administrative stability, and operational efficiency of the organization. This role combines strategic leadership in financial planning with hands-on development and management of systems, procedures, and vendor relationships. The CFO will lead all financial operations including budgeting, accounting, cash management, grant reporting, and compliance. This is both a strategic and hands-on role, with oversight of outsourced accounting partners and active collaboration with board committees and staff. The CFO reports to the Chief Executive Officer.
The position is remote-eligible, with a preference for candidates able to work from or travel to the Princeton, NJ office.
