Help Shape the Future of Discovery

At W. M. Keck Observatory, our mission is to expand humanity’s understanding of the universe—while honoring our responsibility to the land, community, and future generations.

As we look ahead to our Keck 2035 vision, we’re seeking a Chief Financial Officer to help guide the Observatory through its next chapter—ensuring we remain strong, sustainable, and ready to support world-class science.

This is more than a finance position—it’s a leadership opportunity to help shape the future of an institution at the forefront of discovery.

As CFO, you’ll be a key partner to the Director and executive team, helping align financial strategy with mission priorities. You’ll oversee the full spectrum of financial operations while also thinking ahead—bringing insight, foresight, and stewardship to every decision.

Our Mission & Values

At Keck Observatory, our work is driven by a shared commitment to advancing scientific discovery while honoring our responsibility to people, place, and community.

We are guided by core values rooted in:

Stewardship – We care for our people, facilities, environment, and community with integrity and long-term responsibility.
Service – We prioritize collective impact, supporting one another, the global astronomy community, and our local Hawaiʻi community to achieve shared goals.
Collaboration & Inclusion – We work across disciplines and perspectives to solve complex challenges and advance discovery together.
Excellence & Safety – We deliver high-quality work while maintaining a strong commitment to operational excellence and safety in everything we do.
