The Opportunity:
As the Director of Financial Reporting and Analysis Services, you step into a senior finance leadership role where you drive the system‑wide strategy, governance, and continual advancement of Washington State University's financial reporting, analytics, and forecasting functions. Reporting to the Executive Director/Controller, you deliver forward‑looking financial insight that helps executive leadership anticipate trends, forecast outcomes, and make informed decisions that support long‑term financial sustainability.
You oversee the preparation of accurate, timely quarterly and annual financial statements, conduct comprehensive analysis of financial performance, and lead proactive, scenario‑based forecasting to surface risks and opportunities.

You lead complex analyses, develop key performance metrics, and sponsor cross‑functional initiatives that enhance forecasting accuracy, reporting efficiency, and the overall maturity of financial analytics. You also build strong partnerships across campuses and with external stakeholders, while leading and developing a high‑performing team that champions accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.
