Job description

Finance & Operations Strategist
Job Title: Finance & Operations Strategist
Location: Fresno or Sacramento (Hybrid - 3 days in office, 2 days remote)
Travel: Monthly to quarterly in-state, once or twice a year out of state
Term: Full-time, occasional evening and weekends required
Position Status: Exempt
Pay Range: $90,000 - $93,000 annually, commensurate with skills and experience.
Reports to: HR & Operations Director
Organizational Summary
The mission of the California Immigrant Policy Center (CIPC) is to uphold the humanity of immigrant communities in California by transforming systems to achieve racial, social, and economic justice. CIPC is a non-partisan, non-profit statewide organization engaging in advocacy, organizing, and strategic communications to uplift immigrant communities. CIPC was formed in 1996 in response to cuts and reforms to public benefits systems nationally that eliminated federal health and public benefits coverage for countless immigrants, identifying the need to uplift and empower a statewide voice on behalf of immigrants in California to counteract the devastating effects of federal policy.
Over the past 30 years, CIPC has led groundbreaking campaigns that have vastly expanded protections for California's low-income immigrant populations, including but not limited to the Safe and Responsible Driver Act, the TRUST and TRUTH Acts, CA Values Act, E-Verify Bill, the Health for All campaign, California Earned Income Tax Credit, and One California, the largest investment in legal services protection in the country.
Position Summary
The Finance & Operations Strategist is a key member of CIPC's Operations Team and partners closely with the Executive Director, Deputy Executive Director, and the HR & Operations Director to strengthen the organization's financial sustainability, operational effectiveness, and organizational infrastructure.
This position provides strategic leadership in organizational finance, operations, human resources administration, organizational financial planning, and cross-functional initiatives. The Strategist develops financial analyses, operational systems, and organizational recommendations that support executive leadership in making informed decisions and advancing CIPC's mission.
The position also serves as the primary operational lead for the office in which they are based, ensuring efficient day-to-day office operations while helping build consistent systems and practices across CIPC's statewide offices.
Because this position regularly supports executive leadership on confidential organizational, personnel, and labor-relations matters, the Finance & Operations Strategist exercises a high degree of discretion, independent judgment, and professionalism.
