DESCRIPTION

UC San Diego Health Sciences is a multibillion-dollar organization encompassing three professional schools, two hospitals, more than 20 graduate degree programs, and over 90 research units and core facilities: all supporting the tripartite mission. Guided by the Vice Chancellor for Health Sciences, it represents the majority of UC San Diego's research and philanthropic activity and maintains a rapidly expanding clinical presence across the San Diego region. With more than 1,700 faculty and 17,000 staff, Health Sciences is home to nationally recognized academic and clinical programs and is regarded as one of the world's leading biomedical research institutions.

As a top-ranking, forward-thinking organization, UC San Diego Health Sciences offers dynamic career opportunities in a fast-paced, innovative environment.

The School of Medicine (SOM), one of three professional schools in Health sciences, includes approximately 20 departments, 1,700+ faculty, 600 students, and 1,000 residents and fellows. The SOM manages roughly $1 billion in annual expenditures, including $400 million dedicated to research.

The SOM Dean’s Office embraces a progressive approach to employee development and seeks individuals who demonstrate integrity, strategic thinking, intellectual curiosity, collaboration, and teamwork. The Business Affairs unit within the SOM Dean’s Office oversees financial and business operations for both the School of Medicine and the Dean’s Office, including mission-based planning, funds-flow strategy, financial operations, standards development, and partnership with SOM departments.

Under the general direction of the Director for Strategic Operations, the incumbent serves as a member of the SOM Dean’s Office – Business Affairs finance team. This position applies financial concepts and principles to support the management of the SOM Dean’s Office resources (over $120M annually) and contribute to the annual SOM budget process (over $1B).

The incumbent will utilize data management tools to extract and review financial data, identify variances / discrepancies, and process transactions that steward the business processes of SOM Dean’s commitments & funds flow as well as annual budget reports. Responsibilities include preparing and maintaining financial models—such as indirect cost (IDC) projections and other analytical frameworks—and providing stewardship for departmental financial assets, including endowed chairs and gift / endowment portfolios.

The role also provides financial and administrative guidance to departments in developing operating budgets. Incumbent may be required to conduct budgetary and financial analyses, and offer recommendations based on findings.
