Who are we? The Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority (RTAA) is an organization on the MOVE, and we are looking for a dedicated and experienced Financial Analyst to help our award-winning Finance team take on what’s next as our organization expands to meet the needs of our growing community. We are governed by a nine-member Board of Trustees, operate as a business, and receive no local tax dollars to fund operations. The Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO) generates a total estimated annual economic impact of over $3 billion. The airport functions like a small city with over 2,400 employees working for a variety of companies, ~290 of which work directly for RTAA. It takes the dedication and service of all these employees working together to make this the great organization that it is.

Who are you? You are someone who is able to understand the numbers and then tell their story. Regardless of what you’re working on, you are adept at painting a vivid and interesting picture of where we’ve been and where we are going from a financial standpoint. You are undaunted by a specialized industry and the complex system in which we operate. You are computer savvy, a great communicator, a confident professional, and a generous teammate. You can see the big picture but are comfortable with details, accuracy, and in getting the job done with both precision and flair. And you have a deep-held belief that “Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast.”

What else do you need to know? With moreRNO, the RTAA is embarking on the largest infrastructure project in our airport’s history, and that means “never a dull moment” for the Finance team. This is an opportunity to continue your successful career in a vibrant and growing organization. No kidding – you will want to be in on this!
