Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration
As a regional campus within a large public research university system, PNW requires a finance leader who can navigate the complexity of a multi-entity financial structure while advancing the distinct priorities of the Northwest campus. Reporting to the Chancellor, with a dotted-line relationship to Purdue University’s central finance leadership, the VCFA will provide strategic and operational oversight of the University’s financial and administrative enterprise.
This includes leadership of finance and accounting, budgeting and multi-year financial planning, procurement and business services, student accounts, auxiliary operations, facilities and campus planning, capital strategy, and public safety. The VCFA will play a central role in ensuring fiscal integrity, strengthening resource allocation processes, and aligning financial planning with institutional priorities.
The successful candidate will bring a demonstrated record of strong fiscal stewardship—ensuring that financial operations are accurate, balanced, and aligned with best practices in transparency and compliance. Equally important, the VCFA will be a forward-looking and analytically driven leader who leverages financial and institutional data to inform decision-making, identify opportunities for strategic investment, and advance entrepreneurial initiatives that support long-term financial sustainability and growth.
This includes maximizing the value of physical and real estate assets, advancing auxiliary and enterprise operations, and developing alternative revenue streams and partnerships, including public-private models.
This is an opportunity for a leader who can balance disciplined financial management with creative, data-informed thinking, thereby strengthening the University’s financial foundation while positioning Purdue University Northwest for continued growth, innovation, and regional impact.
Purdue University Northwest is an equal opportunity/equal access university.
