The VPFA serves as a member of the senior Cabinet, a collaborative body that provides strategic and operational direction to the institution. The VPFA provides strategic financial guidance and recommendations on operations to the President and senior executive team, setting and achieving the mission, goals, and objectives of the University, and provides support for several committees of the Board of Trustees. This position oversees and manages a wide range of financial and administrative functions, including accounting and financial reporting, treasury, investment management, cash management, debt management, budget and planning, and financial analysis.

The VPFA should possess an advanced professional degree in accounting, finance, business, law, or a related field. The successful candidates will have an established record of significant fiscal management experience with a minimum of ten years as a financial/operations practitioner, preferably with experience in a broad range of financial/operations activities.

Additionally, the successful candidate must possess demonstrated administrative, supervisory, and leadership skills, as well as excellent written, oral, and interpersonal skills. Experience within a college or university environment is especially valued.

Lawrence University is located in Appleton, Wisconsin, and hosts 1,500 students from nearly every state and 40 countries. Whether they choose to study in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences or the Conservatory of Music, both dedicated exclusively to undergraduate education, Lawrentians find a welcoming community of scholars and artists. And with one of the smallest student-faculty ratios in the country (8:1), they have unparalleled opportunities to collaborate closely with professors. We are committed to challenging and illuminating educational experiences that give students the knowledge and tools to identify their passion, find their light, and impact the world. The University's small size and student-centeredness present students with a great opportunity to enjoy a small and close-knit community atmosphere with dedicated teachers, accessible staff, and students committed to maximizing the opportunities available at the institution.

All applications, nominations, and inquiries are invited. Applications should include, as separate documents, a CV or resume and a letter of interest addressing the themes in the leadership profile available at www.wittkieffer.com.
