The posting

Department Summary

As the premiere public arts school in the nation, the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture (UCLA Arts) plays a vital role in the cultural and artistic life of the campus and the broader community. Guiding our mission is the belief that the arts are not only an essential part of the cognitive, critical, inquisitive life of a public research university, but the practice and presence of the arts are a cornerstone of the creative, innovative thinking and collaborative approaches that the 21st century demands.

One of 12 prestigious professional schools at the University, the School of the Arts and Architecture offers leading programs in four degree-granting departments: Architecture and Urban Design, Art, Design Media Arts, and World Arts and Cultures/Dance. Our commitment to innovative education, pioneering research, dynamic public service, and community engagement is fueled by our unwavering belief in the fundamental value of creativity and the artist’s unique ability to change the world and shape the future. Position Summary

Reporting to the Chief Operating and Financial Officer, Associate Dean for Administration and Finance (COO/CFO), the Director of Finance leads the financial administration and Business Office operations of the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture. The School comprises four academic departments, three public arts units, eight faculty research centers, and the Dean's Office, with an annual budget of approximately $68 million supported by state funds, contracts and grants, sales and service activities, gifts, endowments, and other restricted and unrestricted resources. The Director translates the COO/CFO's financial strategy and resource-allocation priorities into effective budgets, forecasts, controls, reporting, systems, and business services. The incumbent leads the annual budget and multi-year forecasting processes; oversees financial performance, permanent-budget and staffing controls, fund management, fiscal close, reconciliations, audit support, and finance-system implementation; and provides analyses and recommendations to support School leadership decisions. The Director manages the Business Office and supervises the teams responsible for budget and purchasing, together with other assigned finance and administrative staff. The incumbent establishes service standards, operating procedures, internal controls, workload priorities, and staff-development expectations for these functions; coordinates financial practices across the School; and ensures that transactions and commitments comply with University policy and applicable donor, sponsor, and fund restrictions. Material resource-allocation decisions, structural commitments, policy exceptions, and significant financial risks are escalated to the COO/CFO.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
