This position will be responsible for oversight and optimization of Oracle Finance and will be responsible for implementation of new policies, internal controls, and enhanced Oracle functions and reporting. There is also an opportunity to restructure the Accounting Office functions and staffing due to recent turnover.

  • Responsible for banking and treasury operations. Formulates strategies for managing cash, debt, and the College’s balance sheet in partnership with the Vice President for Finance and Operations. Responsible for execution of transactions, including debt issuance, debt service payments, and maintenance of cash and investment accounts.
  • Oversees Endowment and Donor Fund Accounting through Fundriver software, endowment spending calculations, endowment accounting, and fund restrictions in coordination with Advancement Office and the Budget Office.
  • Responsible for the accounting and internal control environment at the College, including developing, implementing, and monitoring all accounting and control policies. Responsible for all audits, including for financial statements, the federal single audit, and 403(b) compliance audit.
  • Represents the College scrupulously with external financial business partners including the outsourced Chief Investments Officer (Commonfund), insurance, banking, and auditors.
  • Leads efforts to build and maintain business systems and processes that are sound, contemporary, efficient, and compliant. Leads the finance effort to optimize the Oracle Cloud ERP implementation.
