Finance and Operations Manager

(Remote/Part-time)

Gifted Savings is seeking a proactive, experienced Operations and Finance Manager to lead internal bookkeeping, HR administration, vendor management, and team operations. This part-time role will work closely with our Comptroller, CFO, COO, and Executive Director to ensure internal systems are strong, compliant, and efficient as we grow.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, highly organized, comfortable handling confidential information, and excited to help continue building the internal infrastructure of a fast-growing, mission-driven nonprofit.

About Gifted Savings:

Gifted Savings is a nonprofit that helps people directly gift high school students a $1,000 investment portfolio and the financial knowledge to make it grow. With the assets and knowledge to start building wealth early, students are empowered to take charge of their financial future.

The Gifted Savings high school program is facilitated through a custom-built web app, which allows students to track their gifted investment portfolios while delivering bite-sized, interactive lessons on investing education. As students progress through the program, they complete engaging activities and document their journey by sharing short testimonials, offering insights into their personal growth and the impact of their new financial knowledge. The goal is to help students see the long-term power of saving and holding investments while fueling a growing conversation about financial well-being.

Gifted Savings has created a simple, scalable way for donors to gift investment assets directly to a large cohort of individual recipients (like all the students in a high school). On the recipient side, we make it simple for young people, many of whom may not otherwise have the chance to own appreciating assets, to hold and grow wealth. 

Gifted Savings is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit founded by serial entrepreneur, Farhad Mohit, with over $1B in exits — Flipagram (now TikTok), Shopzilla, and BizRate.
