The Business & Operations Manager is the operational backbone of Denver Academy of Torah. We are looking for a Financial Steward - someone who doesn't just record numbers but truly owns them. You will treat the school's resources with the utmost care, proactively identifying budget variances, spotting overpayments, and ensuring our financial systems are as lean and effective as possible. This is a hands-on, detail-oriented role for someone who thrives in a mission-driven environment and takes personal ownership of keeping costs under control.

For the right candidate, there is opportunity over time to grow into higher-level financial leadership - including cash flow forecasting, financial modeling, and preparation of annual budget drafts.

Payroll: Ensure accurate, timely semi-monthly processing via Gusto; administer benefits configuration and enrollment
Budget Oversight: Actively monitor expenditures against the approved budget - flagging variances, overpayments, missed payments, and cost-saving opportunities to the Head of School in real time
Financial Integrity: Partner with the school's external accountants and auditors to ensure accurate, timely data for monthly closes and annual audits; perform monthly bank statement reconciliation and credit card review
Tuition Assistance: Coordinate tuition remission and support the TA process in collaboration with the TA Committee
Growth Path: Potential to evolve into higher-level financial leadership, including cash flow forecasting and annual budget drafting

2. HR & People Operations

Maintain employee records, time-off tracking, and faculty absence calendars
Administer benefits enrollment, configuration, and annual renewal
Coordinate staff employment agreements as directed by the Head of School

Who You Are

A Financial Hawk: You don't wait for a report to find an error - you ask the right questions daily to ensure fiscal health and do not let mistakes or overruns slip through unnoticed
Proactive & Insightful: You spot problems before they become crises and communicate them clearly and promptly
Systems Proficient: Experienced with Gusto, FACTS, and QuickBooks or similar platforms
Ethical & Discreet: You handle sensitive family financial matters and personnel files with total confidentiality and professional warmth
