Minimally requires a Bachelor's degree, plus ten years of relevant experience, including three years of supervisory experience, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Experience with research administration is preferred.

Due to the financial or fiduciary responsibilities for this position, successful completion of a credit history check will be required in addition to a standard background check.

This position offers a flexible work arrangement that combines remote and on-campus work. Questions related to flexible work should be directed to the hiring manager during the interview process.

This position currently would support Student Affairs, University Health Service, and Campus Recreation; however, this assignment could change in the future.

Penn State is embarking on a project to restructure the University's financial functions to move towards a centralized, service hub-based structure.

This position is intended to initially support the unit(s) and functions listed in this posting; however, it is expected to evolve over time relative to the overall restructuring.

Questions about this project should be directed to the hiring manager during the interview process.

Finance and Business is a values-driven organization that supports thousands of University faculty, staff, and students, while also providing services to the broader community and society.

Finance and Business has a vision to recruit, develop and retain outstanding people who efficiently provide exceptional service in support of Penn State's teaching, research and public service missions.

Our values model those of Penn State's and we firmly believe in the value of Respect, which encourages us to 'respect and honor the dignity of each person, embrace civil discourse, and foster a diverse and inclusive community.'

As an incoming team member, it will be expected that all employees embody and model Penn State's and Finance and Business's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
