Approve and release invoices as assigned by the Finance Manager; ensure vendor payment documentation is complete and compliant with policy.
Work directly with construction and professional services vendors (for bond-related matters), including vendor file documentation, payment analysis for general contractors, and invoice review.
Closely collaborate with accounting team members and other departments to support bond-related financial matters; evaluate bond-compliance related to accounting, reporting and invoice approval.
Execute ad-hoc system or bond-related assignments as directed by management; act as functional lead for system enhancements, integration projects, and cross-functional collaborations.

Requirements

5-10 years of experience in accounting, finance, or system/financial-systems roles; experience in higher education, public sector, or bond project environment preferred.
Demonstrated experience working with enterprise accounting/business systems (ERP, GL systems, vendor/invoice modules) and/or leading system integrations or implementations.
Proven ability to interpret historical trends, perform financial/variance analysis, create monthly financial reports, and draw actionable insights.
Strong ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team environment; thrive in a fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environment.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, able to engage with all levels of the organization (finance, IT, campus stakeholders, vendor partners).
Intermediate to advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, data analytics) and comfortable using MS Word and PowerPoint.
Demonstrated project leadership ability - able to lead system-integration/implementation projects to successful conclusion (scope, schedule, stakeholder coordination, testing/validation, training).
Strong analytical mindset, detail-oriented, process-improvement focus, ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.

Preferred/Highly Desirable Qualifications

Experience with bond accounting, vendor payment analysis, and contract/general-contractor invoice review.
Familiarity with internal controls frameworks (e.g., COSO), audit preparation, public sector compliance and financial reporting in an educational or governmental environment.
Experience working with ERP implementations/integrations (e.g., Oracle, SAP, Workday, other financial systems).
Professional certification (e.g., CPA, CMA) or project-management certification (e.g., PMP) is a plus.

Why Join Us?

Be part of a mission-driven public education institution and have an impact on financial systems that support campuses, students and services.
