Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) is the leading science-based policy and advocacy organization working to eliminate toxic chemicals and other environmental exposures linked to breast cancer. 1 in 8 women today will be diagnosed with breast cancer and yet 90% of cases can’t be linked solely to genetics. That’s why we aim to eliminate the other known risk factors linked to breast cancer—to save lives and prevent the disease before it starts.

Who We Are

Breast Cancer Prevention Partners works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposure to toxic chemicals linked to the disease. We translate science into practical actions that consumers, workers, families, policy makers, and companies can take to protect people and the planet from harmful exposures. The people who work at BCPP are passionate about what we do and committed to excellent work done in a collaborative environment.

Who We Are Looking For

BCPP is hiring an Accountant or Senior Accountant, depending on experience, to join our finance team. Reporting to the Director of Finance, this is BCPP's only accounting position. You'll own day-to-day accounting, including payroll, accounts payable, receivables, and the monthly close, and support the Director of Finance with grant management, year-end close, and the annual audit.

This position is ideal for someone who takes pride in clean, well-documented books, catches the details others miss, and can explain finance clearly to colleagues who aren't in finance.
