Vice President of Student Financial Services

Located in Rindge, NH, Franklin Pierce University (FPU) is close to Boston and New York City yet provides the natural beauty and safety of a rural campus, with access to outdoors activities, the arts, excellent educational options for families, and more. The University, a respected 62-year-old institution, possesses strengths such as a welcoming and inclusive community, growing health professions-related undergraduate and graduate programs on campus, online, and at four Centers across the U.S., a personalized approach to learning as well as growing career-readiness capacity, and reputation as an NCAA Division II athletics powerhouse.

FPU seeks an experienced and entrepreneurial financial aid-based professional to serve as the next Vice President for Student Financial Services (VPSFS). The VPSFS is the de facto financial aid director and supervises a strong office which provides critically important financial services to all FPU students. Reporting to the President, the VPSFS has oversight, direction, and management of the University's federal, state and institutional financial aid programs, including need-based grants, student loans, work-study and other sources of financial aid. The VP also has oversight for student accounts billing and payment functions, and the student account receivable processes.

Experience in financial aid and student financial services-related environments is essential, as is a working understanding of financial aid and other regulations. The VPSFS must have good organizational, professional, and interpersonal skills, along with strengths in verbal and written communication. A high degree of accuracy and attention to detail are essential. Serving as a member of the President's Council, the VPSFS is expected to possess the interpersonal, organizational, planning, and other core competency skills expected of a senior institutional leader. With a current effort to re-brand the institution and launch an important comprehensive fundraising campaign, the VPSFS will join the FPU family at a time of genuine excitement, positive change, and entrepreneurial focus.

Relocation is available, and while this is primarily an on-campus position, a flexible work schedule is possible. FPUoffers competitive wages and benefits packages, including medical, dental and vision coverage, 403(b) retirement plan through TIAA, life insurance, short- and long-term disability, educational benefits (for employee and qualifying dependents), pet insurance, accident insurance, critical illness coverage, travel discounts, 160 hours of paid time off (PTO), with additional paid sick time for your well-being, and paid holidays. Candidates should submit a cover letter, rsum, and contact information for three references (references will not be checked until the finalist stage of the search).
