Description

The Finance & Grants Integration Manager plays a vital role in creating the systems, processes, and connections that enable Fetzer's mission to flourish. The ideal candidate believes that healthy systems create the conditions for people to thrive. They delight in connecting people, processes, and technology in ways that make work feel more seamless, collaborative, and purposeful. Naturally curious and energized by solving complex puzzles, they see opportunities where others see obstacles and enjoy transforming "there has to be a better way" into reality. Serving as the bridge between Finance, Programs, Learning & Integration, Operations, and Information Systems, this role ensures financial operations, grant administration, and supporting technologies work together as one integrated ecosystem that empowers colleagues to focus on the meaningful work of advancing Fetzer's mission.

Combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution, the Finance & Grants Integration Manager designs and improves workflows, coordinates the grant lifecycle, supports the implementation and optimization of financial systems, and guides the adoption of new processes across the Institute. This role is equal parts strategist, collaborator, teacher, and builder—someone who enjoys bringing clarity to complexity, fostering cross-functional partnerships, and creating operational experiences that are intuitive, sustainable, and continuously improving. Through thoughtful stewardship of systems and relationships, this role helps build the operational foundation that allows both people and the Institute to flourish.

This is a full-time position located in Kalamazoo Michigan with a flexible schedule, allowing up to 60 percent hybrid work, each week. Tuesday and Wednesdays are required in person, allowing this person to join our staff in our important culture and spiritual development work
