Preferred qualifications include a CPA or CFA certification, executive-level experience in higher education finance, and proficiency with ERP systems and data visualization tools. The ideal candidate will be a strong analytical thinker with a focus on fiscal integrity, accessibility, and transparency, and will have a demonstrated ability to support mission-driven initiatives that promote student success and inclusive excellence.
