The Opportunity: Under the general direction of the Assistant Vice Provost for Student Financial Services, you serve as the principal fiscal officer and financial analyst for Student Financial Services (SFS). You exercise independent judgment and professional discretion in managing the fiscal operations, regulatory compliance, and institutional risk mitigation of more than $350 million in annual student financial aid and support funding. In this role, you analyze, forecast, and oversee complex state, federal, and external funding programs, interpret and apply regulatory requirements, and determine appropriate fiscal actions to ensure responsible stewardship of university resources. Your authoritative fiscal analysis and recommendations directly shape leadership decisions related to funding allocation, cash management, program sustainability, and compliance strategy. You act as the primary fiscal advisor to SFS administration, independently assess fiscal and compliance risk, determine funding drawdown strategies, oversee reconciliation and internal controls, and represent the department in audits and external reporting. Your work is primarily analytical, consultative, and strategic; transactional activities are incidental to higher-level fiscal oversight and decision-support responsibilities. You operate under delegated authority from SFS leadership to independently carry out fiscal actions and determinations essential to maintaining compliance, ensuring liquidity, and mitigating institutional risk.
