Position Overview
Primary Purpose of Position
The Unit Business Officer provides professional financial leadership for the Department of Athletics at North Carolina A&T State University. The position reports to and is accountable to the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance, and serves on the Director of Athletics’ leadership team as the department’s dedicated finance partner. The Unit Business Officer develops, monitors, and forecasts the Athletics operating budget, produces financial reporting and analysis, and advises the Director of Athletics on the financial implications of operational decisions, including new obligations such as student-athlete revenue sharing. The position works alongside the department’s existing budget staff rather than replacing them: Athletics leadership retains authority over its priorities, while the Unit Business Officer provides budget oversight, reporting, and internal control accountable to the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance. University-level central finance functions remain with the respective central offices, with whom the Unit Business Officer coordinates closely.
Primary Function of Organizational Unit
The Division of Business and Finance, led by the Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance / Chief Financial Officer, stewards the university’s financial resources and provides the budget, accounting, treasury, procurement, facilities, human resources, public safety, and related services that sustain institutional operations. Within Business and Finance, Unit Business Officers are assigned to specific divisions, where they serve as embedded finance partners while remaining accountable to the Vice Chancellor. This position is assigned to the Department of Athletics, which administers the university’s NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics programs. Most of the Athletics budget is funded through student fees and institutional support and operates outside the state operating budget, which places particular weight on independent financial oversight and reporting.
- Master’s degree in business, finance, accounting, or a directly related field and 4 years of progressively responsible professional experience in budgeting, financial management, accounting, or financial operations; or a bachelor’s degree in an equivalent field and 6 years of such experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
- Experience developing and managing complex operating and capital budgets.
- Experience providing financial analysis and reporting in support of management decision-making.
Preferred Years Experience, Skills, Training, Education
- Experience in higher education finance, ideally within a public university or a UNC System institution.
- Experience serving as an embedded finance or business partner within an intercollegiate athletics department, ideally an NCAA Division I program, including athletics financial reporting.
- Experience supervising or providing lead direction to professional or support staff.
- Familiarity with fund accounting across student fee, institutional support, auxiliary, and gift or endowment funds.
- Experience with Banner or a comparable enterprise resource planning ( ERP ) system and with financial reporting and analytics tools.
- CPA , CMA , CGFM , or comparable credential is preferred but not required.
