Financial Manager

Our Purpose  
Stanford Medicine is leading the biomedical revolution in precision health. We are transforming health care away from after-the-fact diagnosis to prediction and prevention and away from one-size-fits-all medicine to personalized care that empowers people to lead healthy lives. We are leveraging the art and science of medicine to predict and prevent disease before it strikes and cure it decisively if it does.  To achieve our Precision Health vision, we are integrating, building, and leveraging our strengths in fundamental research, the new field of biomedical data science, and nine transformative biomedical platforms. As a learning health system, we will apply these advances in our hospitals and health care delivery systems within Stanford Health Care and Stanford Children’s Health.  

Our Values 
Fulfilling our promise to humanity requires the engagement of a diverse, creative, and collaborative team of professionals who work together to advance our research, education, and patient care mission. We strive to create a culture of inclusion and belonging to ensure all employees have the meaningful employment experience that is necessary to do their best work.  

Our Work 
We are searching for a proactive and enthusiastic Financial Manager to join our team. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, has experience delivering complex financial analysis, is detail oriented, and able to partner effectively with a variety of department stakeholders. This role leads Dean’s Office financial reporting and analysis and supports operational activities that impact departments and units across the School of Medicine.

• Manage financial reporting and operations for the Dean's funds, including University General Funds (tuition and sponsored research costs), hospital-related revenue (including grants and university tax contributions), and internal income such as department fees. Oversee Dean's expenses, including department operating budgets, Dean's commitments, purchased services (e.g., MCD and LPFCH support, liability insurance, legal), and University cost recovery.
• Develop complex financial analyses, budget and forecast scenarios, and long-range plans, with a particular focus on strategic investments in faculty recruitment. Model the Dean’s Office capacity to maximize these investments while balancing other institutional commitments. Conduct ad hoc analysis to inform decisions on use of funds and sources of revenue, and advise the Controller's team and CFO on how to prioritize spend to fund School strategic initiatives. Partner with departments to rethink fee and revenue structures, with a focus on sustainability and equity.
• Lead development of financial reporting on the Dean's revenue and uses of funds, drawing on actuals, budgets, and projections, and on data from hospitals, the research management group, and development. Build ad hoc analyses of revenue and expenditure trends tied to clinical activity, expendable surpluses, and research expenditures, and tailor findings for senior leadership audiences. Present quarterly financials to CFO and other senior leaders.
