King School invites nominations and applications for the position of Chief Financial and Operating Officer (CFOO). This is an outstanding opportunity for an accomplished financial and operational leader to join a thriving independent school during a period of leadership transition and meaningful institutional momentum.
While the school's strong preference is to appoint a permanent Chief Financial and Operating Officer this summer, experienced interim candidates will also be considered for the 2026-27 school year.
The CFOO serves as an integral member of the senior leadership team and a close advisor to the Head of School, the Board of Trustees, and colleagues across the school community. In this role, the CFOO leads the school's financial strategy and operational functions, bringing thoughtful analysis, sound judgment, and disciplined execution to support long-term sustainability and mission alignment.
The position offers broad scope, institutional visibility, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to governance, strategy, and day-to-day operations within a dynamic, mission-driven educational environment.
