Job Description

Opportunity at a Glance

Chamberlain University is hiring a Director, Finance to lead financial planning, performance management, and strategic decision support for a mission-driven institution educating the next generation of healthcare professionals. Reporting directly to the CFO, you will own the numbers that shape how Chamberlain grows — and the narrative that helps leadership act on them.

This is a high-visibility leadership seat for a finance executive who moves fluidly between financial models and high-impact interactions with leadership teams. You will be as comfortable architecting a driver-based enrollment forecast against large, imperfect data sets as you are standing in front of Chamberlain’s leadership team explaining what it means and – most importantly – what to do about it.

Responsibilities:
  • Planning cycles. Annual budget, monthly forecast, and long-range plan — built on real business drivers and tied to strategic priorities.
  • Forecasting infrastructure. Design and build complex, scalable forecast tools that work across large data sets — student-level enrollment, course registration, tuition, and expense detail — using the modern toolkit available to finance professionals today.
  • Executive deliverables. Produce monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting packages and presentations for the C-suite, the board, and parent-company partners that are both polished and accurate.
  • Performance reporting. Monthly P&L, KPI, and management reporting that makes trends, risks, and opportunities easy to understand. You will bring clarity and conciseness to complex financial analysis.
  • Decision support. Variance, driver, scenario, and sensitivity analysis across enrollment, revenue, operating expense, and margin.
  • Business cases. Models that underwrite new programs, capital investments, operational improvements, and resource allocation decisions.
  • Cross-functional partnership. Embedded work with academic, operations, enrollment, marketing, and accounting teams to evaluate performance and improve outcomes.
  • Multi-year strategy support. Enrollment, tuition, cost, and profitability analysis that tests growth strategies against organizational capacity.
  • Process and tooling. Greater standardization, automation, and data quality across FP&A processes, planning tools, and dashboards.
  • Initiative ROI. Post-investment tracking that refines assumptions and makes the next decision better than the last.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field. MBA, CPA, or CMA preferred.
  • 8+ years of progressive FP&A or corporate finance experience, including direct people leadership and demonstrated ownership of enterprise planning processes.
  • Deep command of financial modeling, forecasting, budgeting, and performance analysis — grounded in what drives value creation.
  • Proven ability to build complex forecasting and analytical tools on large data sets, with fluency in the current technology stack available to finance professionals, including those enabled by AI.
  • Demonstrated track record producing executive-level deliverables for C-suite and board audiences that are simultaneously polished and accurate — clean design, tight narrative, and the process discipline to do this in a repeatable, efficient manner that enables consistently meeting deadlines.
  • Track record owning or materially influencing P&L management, executive reporting, and cross-functional decision support.
  • Ability to lead complex analysis, triage competing priorities, and deliver quality work at pace.
  • Communication that translates financial complexity into clear direction for non-financial audiences.
  • Proven ability to build trust, influence stakeholders, and drive continuous improvement.

Additional Information

In support of the pay transparency laws enacted across the country, the expected salary range for this position is between $150,000 and $170,000. Actual pay will be adjusted based on job-related factors permitted by law, such as experience and training; geographic location; licensure and certifications; market factors; departmental budgets; and responsibility.
