Marin Academy, Chief Financial Officer

Marin Academy (MA) stands at a threshold. Over the past seven years, MA’s disciplined endowment strategy has doubled the school's financial foundation from $15 million to $31 million. Vision 2030 and 2050's transformative campus plans move forward—a new aquatic center opens, housing for Penn Fellows takes shape, and conversations about the next phase pulse through leadership. The MA Promise has rewritten the school's commitment to access: free tuition for any admitted student whose family earns under $100,000 annually. After three decades of steady financial leadership that built this platform, MA prepares for its next chapter—not because something broke, but because everything MA has built now positions it to imagine more boldly. 

The next Chief Financial Officer will join Marin Academy's Head of School, Travis Brownley, and the senior team as a creative partner in answering the question: What can this school
become?  In a moment when independent schools face demographic shifts, tuition
pressures, and questions about value,  MA's financial leader must be more than a
steward. They must architect sustainable innovation, translate between vision and
resources, and see financial strategy not as a constraint but as the language of
possibility.

This exceptional opportunity seeks a financial leader who wants to work at the
intersection of mission and money, where every budget reflects values and every
projection shapes what students will experience. MA's finances stand on solid
ground—an annual operating budget of $34 million, facilities in excellent condition, and
a track record of meeting ambitious goals. The incoming CFO inherits strength and
stability. What they create next is the interesting part.

The anticipated salary range for this position is between $250,000 and $350,000 annually, commensurate with the successful candidate’s experience. MA offers competitive benefits, including health insurance, retirement contributions, and professional development support. Screening of complete applications will begin immediately and continue until the completion of the search process.
