Promise Venture Studio
About the Organization Who We Are Promise is an early childhood-focused nonprofit organization driving towards a vision of an abundant and just world where all children can fulfill their innate promise. To work toward that vision, we advance change through two mutually-reinforcing strategies: 1) activate and strengthen the early childhood ecosystem by aligning funders, policy leaders, and practitioners around a shared vision and collective action, and 2) nurture and grow the impact of proximate leaders and their social ventures by increasing resources, connections, and sustainability. What We Do Our strategies come to life through Promise's three programmatic buckets: - Ecosystem: Ignites a cross-sector movement — uniting champions, capital, and collective will behind bold visions and narratives for America's youngest children and families - Changemaker Communities: Drive the sustainability, social capital, and power of proximate changemakers across the early childhood field and in their communities - The Promise Fund: Identifies, resources, and scales proximate-led social innovations that prove the future young children and families deserve is within reach Our Impact To date, we've supported more than 760 early childhood ventures nationwide through coaching, connections to capital, and community. We've catalyzed over $25M to social ventures, and among our most deeply supported organizations, 91% grew their impact, 80% increased budgets, and 72% expanded their teams. Through the Early Childhood Leaders of Color Collaborative, 500+ leaders across 40+ states are building collective power to reach millions of children – proof that when BIPOC leaders come together, they don't just survive, they thrive. Role Summary The Lead, Finance and Administration ensures that Promise’s financial operations are accurate, reliable, and well-coordinated - enabling teams to stay focused on mission delivery. This role translates organizational needs into practical finance and administration systems that balance compliance, management, accountability, efficiency, and day-to-day realities. This is an operationally-focused individual contributor role reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (COO). It operates with a high degree of independence and owns financial coordination across teams, while staying aligned with the priorities and guardrails set by the COO. The role does not set organizational financial strategy, but is accountable for strong systems, predictable processes, and clear coordination that build trust and support organizational sustainability. Promise Venture Studio is a sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA). Promise’s accounting and finance systems are currently shaped by RPA’s infrastructure, requirements, and timelines. A core part of this role is making finance work well within RPA’s systems, while building internal practices and and tools that would support a potential future spinout. Candidates should be comfortable in a fiscally-sponsored environment and motivated to build systems that scale in the current model and a possible independent structure.
