About the Role

The Company is in search of a Senior Vice President for Finance and Chief Financial Officer (SVP-CFO) to play a pivotal role in shaping its financial strategy and supporting the implementation of a new decentralized budget model. The successful candidate will be a seasoned financial and operational leader, with a strong focus on strategic management and a proven track record in achieving financial goals. This role is not only about overseeing a significant financial portfolio and endowment but also about being a thought leader and a collaborative partner within the university community. The SVP-CFO will work closely with senior leadership to align financial resources with the ambitious goals of the strategic plan, particularly in the context of the challenging higher education environment.

Applicants for the SVP-CFO position at the company should be adept at change management, with the ability to advocate for and enhance a suite of university services. The role requires a leader who can motivate and inspire colleagues, manage complex priorities, and maintain a forward momentum. The ideal candidate will have a distinguished record in senior leadership, preferably in a higher education or similarly complex organizational setting, and will be a superb communicator with exceptional analytical skills. A commitment to the transformative power of education, a focus on student success, and a dedication to inclusive decision-making are essential. The SVP-CFO will also be expected to be relationship-oriented, with strong interpersonal skills and self-awareness, and to support an environment that values collaboration, calculated risk, and innovation.
