Portland Community College (PCC) seeks an Associate Vice President of Financial Operations (AVP). The next AVP must have a deep understanding of collegiate finances, be able to collaborate across all units of the College, and communicate current financial strategic actions to both internal and external constituencies. The AVP must help advance the mission and unify the College in alignment with the one‑College structure to achieve strategic goals.
Through the College’s Strategic Plan and Integrated Budget and Planning Council, we’ve taken intentional steps to build a budget that reflects our fiscal realities and fulfills our commitment to the people we serve. With funding challenges and new opportunities ahead in the 2025‑27 biennium—such as operationalizing the new Workday enterprise and financial reporting system—PCC has positioned itself to meet the future head‑on, ensuring our students and community have the resources needed to thrive.
As the largest post‑secondary institution in Oregon, PCC serves more than 50,000 full‑time and part‑time students annually across a 1,500‑square‑mile district that spans five counties, advancing equitable and sustainable economic prosperity for students and the greater PCC community through high‑quality education and innovative practices.
Reporting directly to the Vice President of Finance and Business Services and Chief Financial Officer, the AVP plays a pivotal role in driving institutional growth, strategic initiatives, and financial excellence. This position collaborates closely with College leadership to promote transparency, accountability, and inclusive decision‑making across the organization.
Minimum qualifications for the next AVP include:
Bachelor’s degree in accounting, business, finance, or a related field from a regionally accredited institution.
Master’s degree in accounting, business, finance, or a similar discipline from a regionally accredited institution, or a CPA certification (required).
