  • Leverage historical knowledge and relevant financial analyses to advise leadership on future budget allocations and strategic usage of add-on funds.
  • Assist leadership in developing and tracking performance metrics to measure individual unit and overall division outcomes.
  • Guide department administrators on financial best practices regarding budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and position management.
  • Support divisional operations by connecting with central administrative offices, external auditors, and attending relevant campus meetings and committees.
  • Document core financial processes, timelines, risks, and strategic takeaways for internal team reference and stakeholder alignment.

Strategic & Analytical Projects

  • Execute complex financial analyses and strategic initiatives driven by the Senior Director, such as calculating the cost of fundraising and performing survey data analysis.
  • Create and refine reporting tools for internal finance staff and divisional budget managers.
  • Help identify and implement operational efficiencies, including improved event budget tracking and underwriting reconciliation.
  • Prepare materials and data for the Budget Working Group to identify, prioritize, and support divisional funding requests.
  • ​​​​​​​Standardize and maintain thorough documentation for financial procedures.

Position Management

  • Review and approve job descriptions prior to HR submission for assigned operational areas.
  • Track, monitor, and report on a growing portfolio of 300+ active positions and vacancies.
  • Partner closely with Talent Acquisition to monitor position lifecycles from creation and recruiting through hiring and separation.
  • ​​​​​​​Consult with leadership on the strategic need for new positions and the optimal utilization of existing or vacant lines.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, or a related field.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data modeling, complex formulas, pivot tables) and experience working with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and financial reporting software.
