Director of Operations & Finance (Hybrid)
The Director of Operations & Finance is a key leadership role responsible for building and formalizing systems that will strengthen DetecTogether’s ability to grow and deliver impact. This role oversees organizational processes, strategic plan execution, finance, impact measurement, and event operations.
