Job description

Overview and Responsibilities
Saint Mary's University of Minnesota is seeking candidates who are eager to contribute to its Lasallian Catholic mission of awakening, nurturing, and empowering learners to ethical lives of service and leadership. We invite individuals to help transform lives through education, inspired by the Catholic Intellectual Tradition's quest to understand the human experience through faith and reason and its embrace of all who are dedicated to learning from one another through authentic conversations in search of the truth. We are especially interested in and give preference to candidates who demonstrate a vision to create and nurture initiatives that will advance our mission within the scope of their duties and who will foster a culture of dialogue that, with respect for all people, supports the search for meaning and purpose in pursuit of excellence.
Job Summary
The Financial Aid Systems Analyst: Systems and Automation serves as the primary technical leader for the Financial Aid Office and the key lieutenant to the Director for all system-related operations. This position is the institution's subject matter expert (SME) for Jenzabar Financial Aid (JFA) and is responsible for designing, configuring, testing, and maintaining the automated rules, packaging logic, workflows, and data integrations that drive financial aid awarding.
This role ensures that financial aid processing is accurate, compliant, efficient, and aligned with institutional goals by translating regulatory requirements into system logic and functioning as the primary liaison to Information Technology. The Systems Analyst also provides high-level guidance to staff on technical processes, data integrity, loan systems, and backend troubleshooting. This role exercises significant independent judgment in translating complex federal regulations into automated system logic, ensuring the department's technical infrastructure is robust, compliant, and scalable.
While other staff members may focus more on counseling, professional judgment, and relational case management, this position anchors the technical, operational, and automation functions of the financial aid operation.

Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Partner closely with Information Technology to diagnose and resolve system issues, identify root causes, and implement long-term solutions
  • Act as the primary translator between Financial Aid policy and IT technical specifications, ensuring that IT-led projects (e.g., SQL server updates or API integrations) do not disrupt aid delivery.
  • Collaborate with the Business Office, Registrar, Student Central, Academic Advising, and other departments to ensure seamless student support and operational alignment
  • Contribute to annual audits, compliance reviews, and reporting requirements
  • Provide high-level technical guidance to Financial Aid team members, particularly on system-driven processes, loan processing, and data corrections
