As the University's senior financial officer, the CFO will be both a

    "
  • Strategic Partnership:
    The CFO works in close collaboration with the
    President and Provost
    , shaping decisions that balance academic excellence, financial strength, and social impact.
  • Innovation and Impact:
    Situated in the
    heart of the Bay Area
    , USF embraces innovation and technology—including the ethical use of AI—to enhance student success and institutional resilience.
  • Vibrant, Values-Based Community:
    Consistently ranked among the top 10 universities for diversity and top echelon for law education, USF's culture blends entrepreneurial agility with deep ethical grounding.
     USF students, faculty, staff, and alumni come from 50 states and more than 100 countries, and grew up in more than 25 faith traditions.
  • Mission-Driven Leadership:
    The CFO will advance a faith-based vision that integrates financial discipline with Jesuit values of discernment, service, diversity, and care for the whole person (
    cura personalis
    ).

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Senior financial leadership experience in higher education, large nonprofit, or corporate environments.
  • Expertise in strategic planning, investment management, and capital budgeting.
  • Strong communication and collaborative leadership skills.
