University of Saskatchewan – Chief Financial Officer 5 The CFO leads a team in the Financial Strategy Office to work collaboratively and consultatively across the university in providing resource allocation and budgeting related services efficiently, effectively, and aligned with strategic directions of the university to support teaching, research, and discovery.

The CFO is a highly visible senior leader who acts as an ambassador for the university, building relationships with internal and external stakeholders to expand the impact and visibility of the institution to further the reputation and resources required for the university to take its place among the most distinguished universities in Canada and the world, and be the university the world needs (nīkānītān manācihitowinihk; ni manachīhitoonaan).

The nature of the work requires the ability to assess and address the needs of multiple stakeholders, both internal and external in order to achieve positive outcomes.
