Senior Manager - University Debt Portfolio & Internal Bank

The University of Virginia (UVA) seeks a dynamic and highly skilled Senior Manager - Debt Portfolio & Internal Bank.

• Model the Internal Bank across the University's 100-year debt portfolio horizon, incorporating century / long-dated bond strategy, refunding assumptions, and multi-generational capital-planning scenarios.
