Hawai'i Pacific University is designated as an Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian (ANNH) Serving Institution by the US Department of Education. As such, we strive for accurate displays of the Hawaiian language in all our institutional materials. This includes the appropriate use of diacritical marks such as the 'okina and kahako. Unfortunately, at times external vendors and other third-party technology integrations do not support the use of these characters. Mahalo for your understanding.

Description

Job Summary:

Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, the Controller is a key member of the University's senior leadership team. This position oversees the University's Business Office which includes financial reporting and audits, tax compliance, payroll, treasury operations, accounts payable, collection of student tuition and many other aspects of the University's business operations. A successful Controller will ensure that policies and procedures in these areas promote our primary goal of student success balanced with the long-term financial health of the University. This will require adept cross functional relationships with departments such as the Office of Academic Affairs, Advancement and Development, Facilities and Security and other areas that manage non-University commercial operations.

HPU prides itself on its nimbleness as an organization and our ability to act quickly. This position must thrive in that entrepreneurial environment, bringing fresh ideas that will help us advance our strategic visions.
