At the Truckee Tahoe Airport District (TTAD), we’re more than just an airport—we’re a dedicated team serving a vibrant mountain community. We’re currently seeking an experienced and dynamic Director of Finance and Administration to build upon a great program leading our finance, risk management, and administrative operations.
The Director of Finance and Administration plays a pivotal role in ensuring the financial health, operational accountability, and administrative excellence of the District. This executive-level position oversees a broad range of critical functions—from day-to-day financial operations to long-term strategic planning—while serving as a trusted advisor to the General Manager and a key member of TTAD’s leadership team.
The ideal candidate will lead the full spectrum of the District’s financial activities, including budgeting, accounting, treasury, investments, purchasing, and internal controls. They will be responsible for preparing and administering the District’s budget, forecasting resources, and ensuring compliance with governmental accounting standards.
This position also manages complex financial reporting, annual audits, and regulatory compliance across local, state, and federal agencies—including oversight of FAA and other grant funding.
Beyond finance, the Director oversees risk management functions such as liability, property, workers’ compensation, and cyber insurance programs. They will also co-administer employee benefits and retirement plans in partnership with Human Resources to ensure accuracy, compliance, and continuity of service.
Strong leadership is central to this role. The Director will manage and mentor professional staff, develop department goals and policies, and foster a high-performing, service-oriented culture. This position regularly represents the District at Board meetings, committee sessions, and public forums, providing strategic insight on fiscal and administrative matters.
Balancing technical expertise with visionary leadership, the Director of Finance and Administration helps maintain the District’s strong financial foundation while supporting innovation, growth, and community engagement.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a candidate with a strong background in governmental finance and accounting, along with the ability to lead and inspire a high-performing team. Ideal candidates will have:
At least seven (7) years of progressively responsible experience in public sector finance, including five (5) years in a management role
A bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or Public Administration (a master’s degree or CPA/CMA certification is highly desirable)
A collaborative leadership style, strategic mindset, and strong interpersonal skills
