About the Role
The Company is in search of a Vice President for Finance and Treasurer (VPF) to join its executive team. The VPF will be responsible for providing leadership, stewardship, and direction in all financial administrative functions, and will supervise the performance of duties related to the control of the company's funds. This role is pivotal, as the VPF serves as the chief financial officer, offering strategic advice on financial matters to the President and the Board of Trustees. Additionally, the VPF will act as the administrative liaison for various Board committees, including the Finance, Audit, and Investment Committees.
The successful candidate for the VPF position at the company should have a proven track record in financial management, with experience in a similar leadership role. A strong background in financial planning, budgeting, and analysis is essential. The VPF will be expected to have a deep understanding of financial regulations and compliance, as well as the ability to effectively communicate complex financial information to non-financial stakeholders. A Master's degree in finance, accounting, or a related field is typically required, along with a professional certification such as CPA or CFA. The role demands a strategic thinker with excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic, academic environment.
