Berkeley, CALIFORNIA The Intercollegiate Athletics Chief Financial Officer (Athletics CFO) has a dual reporting role, reporting to both the Campus/Central Finance as well as the Athletics executives. This is an opportunity for a strong leader to advise executives in both areas as well as the Chancellor's Office. The Vice Chancellor for Finance & Chief Financial Officer (VC Finance) and the Co-Athletic Directors are committed to partnering with each other to manage the Athletics budget, within the broader lens of the campus budget, and to set Athletics on a path to a sustainable financial future. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics consists of more than 300 staff members and coaches; and sponsors 30 varsity sports programs, with a budget of approximately $200 million annually. These 30 programs include more than 850 student-athletes who participate in the sports programs primarily within the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA). Cal Athletics is committed to the holistic student-athlete experience - with a focus on success in competition, in the classroom and in the community. The department's legacy of success includes 105 national championships, 246 Olympic medals, high graduation rates and unique and elite resources such as the Cameron Institute for Student-Athlete Development, the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging and Justice and the Athletic Study Center. The Division of Finance provides effective financial, analytical, and administrative management to our campus partners. The division includes Financial Planning & Analysis, the Controller's Office, Capital Finance, University Business Partnerships & Services, and the Immediate Office. Together, these teams oversee university financial services and controls, lead an integrated approach to planning and development, and provide accurate and timely information and analyses to inform campus decision-making in service of UC Berkeley's mission of teaching, research, and public service. Finance also serves in an advisory capacity, working closely with the Chancellor and Provost to advance strategic financial priorities and partnering with the schools, colleges, and administrative divisions to provide financial direction.

They will also serve on the VC Finance's leadership team, which drives the connection between campus and divisional priorities. This position leads the development of a multi-year financial sustainability plan for Intercollegiate Athletics. As the landscape of higher education is evolving, the future of collegiate NCAA Division I Power 4 athletic programs is changing as well.

They will bring an understanding of the current environment and needs, as well as expertly advise on, anticipate, and plan for the road ahead for higher education and collegiate athletics. The position will be responsible for developing a financial model that will emphasize long term revenue maximization of Football and Basketball, monetize assets, and leverage capital with out of the box thinking, while balancing the need for keen expense control insights. The role will oversee a team in managing the budget, so a priority for the next CFO will be multi-directional leadership: provide vision, long term analysis and thinking, and mentorship to their team; provide creativity, storytelling, comprehensive solutions, and executive advising to the leadership in Athletics and Finance; and provide clarity, understanding, collaboration, and excellent facilitation to key stakeholders. This role oversees the divisional financial resources on a multi-disciplinary basis, with insight into all funds, including core funds, endowed gift funds, capital budgets, revenue, awards and grants. This position leads the development, interpretation, and implementation of financial concepts for financial planning, resource planning (dollars), and control of the department's budget. They analyze and prepare recommendations for financial plans, including annual resource allocations, future requirements, and operating forecasts. They have a fiduciary responsibility to keep the entire Athletics division on budget, drive their budget strategy, and coordinate between the VCF-CFO and the Athletics Director's Cabinet. This role liaises with the VCF-CFO, the co-athletic directors, campus leadership, the athletic department's chief operating officer, the general manager for football, the coaches, and the donors as appropriate. They must also maintain strategic relationships with University Donor and Alumni Relations, Capital Strategies, and Student Affairs. The next Athletics CFO will be a dynamic financial storyteller and skilled communicator, able to distill complicated financial matters into easily digestible communications for a variety of audiences. The Athletics budget is of great interest to many stakeholders, and as a public entity we have a responsibility to be transparent, particularly in a time of such change. This position also involves developing, promoting, and supporting the operational and strategic aspects of intercollegiate student-athlete programs, including financial planning, budget administration, revenue accounting and analytics, and accounting. This role directs business operations, financial forecasting, and other administrative functions. The role participates with other senior managers to establish strategic plans and objectives.
