The Manager, Finance Ops & Accounting owns Galileo's core finance and accounting engine: closing the books accurately and on time, managing cash flow, providing regional leaders with the P&L insight they need to run great programs, and keeping the organization audit-ready and compliant across every jurisdiction we operate in.
Galileo Learning has been offering educational summer experiences for 25 years: STEAM-based, hands-on camp and expanded learning programs that build creative confidence, growth mindset, and innovation skills for kids from kindergarten through eighth grade. Behind every joyful camp day is a finance and accounting function that has to run flawlessly — and this role owns it.
This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone equally comfortable booking a complex journal entry, building a cash-flow forecast, managing accounting systems, and walking a regional director through their budget. You'll partner across the company and report on key financials to the board.

By maintaining accurate financials, clear cash visibility, and strong compliance across all jurisdictions, the Manager, Finance Ops & Accounting ensures that program and operational leaders can focus on what they do best - delivering extraordinary experiences for kids.
