The Company is in search of a Chief Business Officer (CBO) to join its distinguished college. The CBO will be a key leader in supporting the college's business and financial operations, strategic resource planning, and data-informed decision-making. This pivotal role involves overseeing the development and implementation of annual budgets for a diverse range of academic and research units, and the ideal candidate will be a strategic, decision-enabling leader with a strong financial acumen.

The successful candidate for the CBO position at the company's college will be a trusted partner to the Dean, senior leaders, faculty, and staff, and will engage with the broader university community. Responsibilities include leading a dedicated team, analyzing financial data, and coordinating departmental requests while upholding principles of sound financial management. The CBO will be expected to have a collegial, creative, and strategically agile approach, and to be an effective leader, natural collaborator, and skilled communicator. This role is essential for the college's mission and requires a candidate with a strong background in financial management, a strategic mindset, and the ability to build and maintain trusting relationships across the academic and administrative spectrum.
