Texas A&M University-San Antonio (A&M-SA) seeks an experienced senior administrator with a successful record of higher education leadership and management accomplishments to serve as its next Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer (VPFA). The successful candidate will be forward-thinking, enthusiastic, entrepreneurial, and collaborative. This individual will be a trusted advisor on matters of finance, facilities, and administrative operations and serves as a key partner to the President and other Cabinet members. The VPFA has responsibility for ensuring exceptional administrative, facilities, and fiscal services. The VPFA reports directly to the University President for all matters related to the management and oversight of the business and financial affairs of the University.

In May 2009, the Texas Legislature signed Senate Bill 629, which established A&M-SA as a standalone institution. Since its founding as the first upper-division institution of higher education in south San Antonio, A&M-SA has grown from its upper-division roots to its current role as a contemporary, comprehensive four-year public university that reflects the culturally diverse, heritage-rich community it serves. During this period, the University has impacted lives in south San Antonio and its surrounding communities, providing access to quality education while becoming a catalyst for regional growth, with countless stories of the students, graduates, faculty, and staff who are on a mission to discover, inspire, lead, and create. Today, the University serves over 8,000 students through its 39 undergraduate and 23 graduate degree programs. As one of the fastest-growing universities in the Texas A&M System and the only A&M institution of higher learning in a major metropolitan area, A&M-SA is quickly expanding to fill its nearly 700-acre campus.

The next Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer must have at least 10 years of progressive and relevant administrative leadership experience, including experience at an institution of higher education or university system. This individual must also have a bachelor's degree in accounting, business, business administration, finance, public administration, higher education administration, or a closely related field. A graduate degree and/or a Certified Public Accountant license is preferred.
