As a part of ASTC’s leadership team, we are seeking a Controller and Director of Administration to lead day-to-day financial and administrative operations. Reporting to ASTC’s Chief Operating Officer and working under the financial direction of its part-time Chief Financial Officer, the Controller will support a nonprofit membership association with an annual budget of $6M–$8M that receives funding from a variety of sources including its members, philanthropic partners, corporate sponsors, and Federal agencies.

SCOPE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Working under the financial direction of the CFO and collaborating closely with ASTC’s Executive Team—the President and CEO, COO, and Chief of Strategy—the Controller and Director of Administration (abbreviated as “Controller”) will be responsible for ensuring that ASTC’s financial and administrative operations are accurate, timely, compliant, and well integrated. This work ensures that ASTC meets its obligations for responsible use of member dues and grant funds and that its leaders have reliable information for decisions.

The Controller will be responsible for five core areas of ASTC’s operations: (1) managing finance and accounting operations; (2) managing the finances of ASTC’s grants, contracts, and projects; (3) administering financial policies, controls, and compliance, especially as they relate to the expenditure of Federal government grant monies; (4) managing administration and human resources operations for a staff working across multiple states; and (5) managing and integrating ASTC’s financial and operational systems. The Controller will also supervise ASTC’s Manager of Operations.

Finance and Accounting Operations (30%)

The Controller will manage ASTC’s financial processes and procedures to ensure effective budget execution, timely collections and payments, and accurate and complete reporting. Specifically, the Controller, with support of the Manager of Operations, will:

Manage the organization’s monthly financial close and reconciliation process, and prepare monthly financial statements for review by the CFO, ASTC leadership, and budget managers
Maintain and execute the annual calendar of finance and administration tasks set with the CFO (to include regular reports, internal processes, external filing deadlines, etc.), and ensure the timely completion of tasks by the finance and administration team as well as other members of the ASTC staff, as appropriate
Manage accounts receivable and accounts payable processes, including membership dues, sponsorship and grant receivables, and vendor payments
Maintain an accurate cash forecast and report regularly to the CFO to ensure a positive operating-cash position throughout the fiscal year

Manage preparation of ASTC’s annual budget and 6-month budget reforecasts under the CFO’s direction, including supporting budget managers and maintaining the approved budget in ASTC’s financial systems

Grant, Contract, and Project Financial Management (20%)

ASTC manages a portfolio of Federal, philanthropic, and corporate grants and contracts alongside membership, conference, and other revenue streams, each with its own budget, allowable costs, and reporting requirements. Specifically, the Controller will:
Manage the financial administration of ASTC’s grants and contracts from proposal through closeout, including budgets, drawdowns and invoicing, cost allocation, and financial reports to funders
Support ASTC program managers in preparing project budgets, including ensuring compliance with allowable expenses under specific requests for proposal from the Federal government or other funders
Track restricted funds and stipulations on use of funds, and maintain the documentation each funder requires

Ensure compliance with financial requirements—including stipulations on use of funds, procurement standards, required documentation, and accuracy of reporting—of any funds received from government or other sources
Identify and implement training of ASTC staff on financial policies and practices, including expense, procurement, and grant-compliance procedures
