Chief Financial and Administrative Officer | Carleton University

Carleton University is located on unceded Algonquin territory, bordered by the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The university is positioned near the heart of our nation's government and G-7 organizations, providing unique opportunities for staff, faculty, and students to positively impact our community and beyond.

Recognized as one of the Top 100 Employers in Canada for two consecutive years and a leading employer in the National Capital Region for a decade, Carleton University is a vibrant institution dedicated to high standards of scholarship. It serves as a productive hub for learning and research, nurturing a talent pipeline that supports social and economic renewal. With over 31,000 students and more than 5,400 faculty and staff, the university fosters a smart, caring, and connected community that inspires individuals to become change leaders, challenging conventional modes of thinking and action.

Reporting directly to the President and Vice-Chancellor, the Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (CFAO) is the principal financial and administrative leader of Carleton. This role involves providing strategic direction, oversight, and stewardship for the university's core support services. The CFAO will collaborate closely with the President, senior leadership team, and Board of Governors. Leading a skilled team of professionals, the CFAO will ensure the effective administration of the portfolio's units, excelling in areas such as: financial services; pension fund management; human resources; facilities management and planning; information technology; as well as safety and risk management. The CFAO will oversee a full-time staff of over 360 employees and manage operating and ancillary budgets exceeding $100 million.

The ideal candidate will possess a proven track record of senior financial and operational leadership across various domains, including finance, administration, human resources, facilities management, and information technology. They will hold the necessary educational qualifications and professional credentials to ensure credibility and accountability. The new CFAO will have played a significant role in financial planning to guarantee the viability and sustainability of assets, service delivery, and personnel management within a complex public organization. Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, along with outstanding judgment, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities, are essential. The ability to inspire a dedicated team while supporting the university's academic mission is crucial.

Candidates should demonstrate management expertise, the capacity to develop and implement strategic plans, and a commitment to team-building, innovation, collaboration, staff development, and community engagement.

Carleton University is dedicated to fostering an innovative, equitable, and welcoming work environment. It is nationally certified as a Healthy Workplace and has received the Canada Awards for Excellence, Healthy Workplace Order of Excellence, and Platinum Level Certification for Mental Health at Work.

The university is strongly committed to promoting diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment, and social strength. We welcome individuals who contribute to the further diversification of our university, including but not limited to: women; visible minorities; First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples; persons with disabilities; and individuals of any sexual orientation or gender identity and expression.
