Senior Finance Operations Manager

Who We Are

At Murmuration, we believe that America’s promise is shaped and reshaped by the best ideas and ideals of its communities, and the dreams of the people who believe in a better life for themselves, their families, and each other. 

We help organizations build power in their communities in four key ways: we organize a network of values-aligned partners; we provide deep, data-driven insights into people, places, and perspectives; we develop tools that make organizing and engagement easy and more effective; and we offer services that strengthen our partners’ capacity to lead change in their communities.

We envision an America where every community has what it needs to help people lead healthy, free, and dignified lives. We work to redesign the systems and structures we all depend on — how we learn, live, govern, and solve problems — so that they are just, equitable, resilient, and rooted in shared responsibility. By strengthening the ties that hold communities together, we aim for civic life defined by collective action and care, with effective leadership that truly represents everyone. 

We are a collaborative, curious, and creative team of organizers, scientists, teachers, technologists, campaign veterans, and more who share the unwavering belief that we can use our gifts in service of transforming America — together. We’ve built our team guided by the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And so we support each other relentlessly — rallying together to face challenges the same way we celebrate each other’s wins.

About the Position

The Sr. Finance Operations Manager is a key individual contributor on the Finance & Accounting Team, responsible for the day-to-day financial operations that keep the organization running accurately and compliantly. This role has primary ownership of billing and collections, sales tax compliance, AR and revenue reconciliations, and vital parts of our month-end close operations, while also supporting the FP&A processes and management reporting that inform leadership decisions. This is an operational role at its core, with meaningful analytical responsibility layered on top.

Working closely with the Director of Finance & Accounting, the Sr. Finance Operations Manager owns the execution layer of the finance function: ensuring billing goes out on time, collections are actively managed, sales tax filings are accurate, reconciliations are clean, and the close runs smoothly. This role also supports the budget and forecast cycle, grant reporting, partisan electioneering spend analysis, and financial dashboard maintenance, freeing the Director to focus on strategic financial leadership. Please note that this is an individual contributor role without people management responsibility.

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, process-driven finance professional with strong accounting fundamentals and enough analytical capability to own reporting and FP&A support. They take genuine pride in operational accuracy: billing that goes out correctly, reconciliations that close clean, and compliance filings that are never late. They bring the initiative to improve processes and the judgment to escalate when something needs senior attention.
