Job Description

Job Description

Alliance Communications Cooperative, a fiscally strong, member-owned broadband provider serving communities across South Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, is seeking a forward-thinking Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This opening comes as the result of the planned retirement of our long-tenured financial leader.

Alliance delivers over 15,000 connections through a 100% fiber network, providing rural communities with world-class connectivity. The CFO will guide the financial strategy that fuels this mission and support the continued growth of one of the region’s most respected telecommunications cooperatives.

The CFO is a key member of Alliance’s executive leadership team, responsible for shaping long-term financial strategy, ensuring regulatory compliance, and overseeing all accounting and financial operations. This role demands a highly strategic leader who can operate confidently in a dynamic telecommunications and cooperative environment. Telecom experience is preferred but not required for candidates with exceptional financial and operational leadership skills.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead strategic financial planning and capital investment decisions
  • Oversee accounting, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, and financial reporting
  • Ensure compliance with GAAP, FCC, USAC, IRS, and multi-state cooperative regulations
  • Support grant funding applications and broadband expansion initiatives
  • Mentor and develop the finance team
  • Partner with the CEO and Board on financial direction and performance

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s in Accounting/Finance required; MBA preferred
  • CPA/CMA strongly preferred
  • 5–10+ years of financial leadership (telecom experience a plus, not required)
  • Strong strategic mindset with hands-on execution abilities
  • Experience with capital planning, regulatory reporting, and financial modelling

Why Alliance & the Region

  • Headquarters in Garretson, SD, minutes from Sioux Falls (metro population ~300,000)
  • Small-town living with big-city amenities nearby—concerts, restaurants, shopping
  • Low crime, family-focused communities, and plentiful outdoor recreation
  • Easy travel with multiple major airlines out of Sioux Falls Regional Airport

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and full benefits (health, dental, vision, pension, 401k)
  • Generous PTO, holidays, training, and volunteer time
  • Cooperative membership perks
