The University of Notre Dame is seeking a highly trusted, strategic, and collaborative Advisor to the Vice President of Finance to serve as a key partner in advancing the priorities of the Finance Division and the University.

This is a unique opportunity for a professional who thrives at the intersection of strategy, communication, operations, finance, and organizational leadership. Working closely with the Vice President of Finance, the Advisor will help translate priorities into action, keep complex initiatives moving forward, strengthen communication and engagement across the division, and provide thoughtful analysis on matters of importance to University leadership.

The successful candidate will bring exceptional judgment, discretion, initiative, and organizational savvy. They will be equally comfortable preparing an executive-level presentation, leading a high-profile project, analyzing financial information, coordinating with senior leaders, or representing the Vice President on an important University initiative.

Because this role works across a broad portfolio of priorities, no two days will look exactly alike. The Advisor will have significant visibility across the University and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the effectiveness, culture, and strategic direction of the Finance Division.

• Prepare analyses, presentations, and decision-support materials for executive leadership and the Board of Trustees.
• Provide analytical support for special projects and emerging priorities.
