About Hildene -
Located in southwestern Vermont, Hildene was the seasonal residence of Robert Lincoln and his wife, Mary. Mr. Lincoln was the only child of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to adulthood. Between 1905 and the death of their granddaughter Mary Lincoln Beckwith in 1975, more Lincolns (three successive generations) lived at Hildene than at any other place in the world. In 1978, the nonprofit Friends of Hildene purchased and preserved the estate, which is open to the public year-round.
Hildene is among Vermont’s top cultural heritage sites and tourist destinations. The rich tapestry of the Lincoln family legacy and Abraham Lincoln's enduring greatness are woven into the fabric of contemporary life at Hildene. Our nonprofit attraction is comprised of Lincoln’s 1905 Georgian Revival home, formal and working gardens, restored Pullman railcar Sunbeam, agricultural operations, cheesemaking facility, twelve miles of trails, and year-round programming, all on 412 acres in beautiful Manchester, Vermont.

Tips for Your Director of Finance and Operations Job Search
Quantify your dual-function impact
Your resume needs to show results from both sides of the role. List specific outcomes from finance work alongside operational improvements you drove, so hiring managers see you've owned both functions, not just one with peripheral exposure to the other.
Tailor your profile to org size
A director of finance and operations at a 20-person nonprofit does very different work than one at a 500-person tech company. Read each job description for headcount and revenue stage, then reframe your experience to match the scope the employer actually needs.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists director of finance and operations openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight cross-functional leadership explicitly
Many candidates bury their cross-departmental work. Interviewers for this role specifically want evidence you've aligned finance goals with HR, IT, or operations teams. Name the departments, the initiative, and what changed as a result of your coordination.
Prepare a systems and tools inventory
Interviewers frequently ask which financial systems, ERP platforms, and reporting tools you've owned, not just used. Know your depth in each one and be ready to describe a migration, build-out, or optimization you led rather than just listing software names.
Negotiate scope before you negotiate compensation
Before accepting an offer, clarify which functions you'll own directly and which are shared with a CFO, COO, or HR leader. Ambiguity in this role's scope is common and resolving it in writing protects you once you start.
Director of Finance and Operations Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most director of finance and operationss?
Amazon, BridgePoint Associates, and hims & hers are hiring the most director of finance and operationss right now, with openings concentrated in Washington, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Nonprofit organizations, healthcare systems, and growth-stage technology companies tend to post this role most consistently throughout the year.
How many director of finance and operations jobs are remote?
About 53% of director of finance and operations openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, though the mix varies significantly by industry. Financial planning and analysis responsibilities tend to be more remote-compatible, while operational oversight duties that involve facilities, vendors, or in-person staff management are more likely to require an on-site presence.
How do you become a director of finance and operations?
Most people reach this role by building deep experience in either finance or operations first, then deliberately expanding into the other function through lateral moves, project ownership, or roles at smaller organizations where one person covers both. A finance manager who takes on office operations, or an operations lead who owns budgeting, is the typical path. A relevant graduate degree or CPA credential accelerates advancement into director-level roles.
Can you get hired as a director of finance and operations without direct director-level experience?
Yes, especially at smaller organizations where the title reflects scope of responsibility rather than years in an identical role. Candidates who have managed a department's full budget cycle, led a team, and owned an operational function end-to-end are competitive even without a prior director title. Demonstrating that you've made decisions at the organizational level, not just executed them, is what most hiring managers are looking for.
What does the director of finance and operations interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four rounds. An initial screening with HR or a recruiter is followed by a deeper conversation with the hiring manager, often a CEO, COO, or CFO. A case study or take-home financial modeling exercise is common at the mid-stage. Final rounds typically include a panel with department heads whose teams you'd work with directly, and sometimes a presentation of your findings from the case exercise.
