Job Details
California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), recognized for its community-based culture of belonging, seeks an innovative, inclusive, and collaborative leader as its next Vice President for Administration and Finance and Chief Financial Officer (Vice President).
Founded in 1994, Cal State Monterey Bay is one of the youngest universities in the California State University system. Located along the central coast of California, the CSUMB campus offers a transformative, experience-rich education in a supportive, inclusive, and inspiring environment. While the University is relatively young, the CSUMB campus has grown dramatically from its origins as a U.S. Army base with a rich history dating back to 1917. Over the years, the University has continued to expand and evolve with new academic programs, facilities, and athletic teams. CSUMB is proud to be ranked and recognized as one of the top institutions in the West for social mobility, affordability, and accessibility.
After eight years of enrollment declines, this past year, CSUMB increased FTF, Transfer, and Grad applications by 25%, 40%, and 30%, respectively, and increased deposits by 40%, 60%, and 29%. The Fall 2024 transfer deposit increase may be the largest increase in the country. Impressively, this resulted in an increase of 15.6% in overall enrollment. We are equally proud of an increase in diversity. Applications from Black/African American first-year students increased by 76%, highlighting the success of our targeted approach.
Since its founding, CSUMB has focused on providing students with a diverse and multicultural educational experience and is proud to be an officially designated Hispanic Serving Institution. At CSUMB, excellence is advanced through inclusion and equity, and the University maintains a strong commitment to supporting and addressing the needs of a diverse University community.
The Vice President for Administration and Finance/Chief Financial Officer is a member of the President's Cabinet and reports directly to the President. Overseeing a campus operating budget of roughly $74 million and a corporation budget of $71 million, the Vice President supervises a total staff of over 250, including seven direct reports. In addition to managing a significant team, the next Vice President will modernize campus operations and enhance departmental effectiveness while also implementing a transparent budget planning process. The Vice President will have the opportunity to creatively develop new revenue streams through external strategic partnerships and to work collaboratively with campus constituents to improve student success metrics. Working with a highly collaborative leadership team, the Vice President will partner effectively to manage change in a fluid higher education landscape and to enhance working relationships across campus.
To succeed in these objectives, the Vice President will bring personal qualities that typify a successful executive leader and strategic partner, including integrity, outstanding judgment, collaboration, vision, agility, humility, and transparency. The Vice President will have the ability to use analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills and to work both collaboratively and independently to ensure the effective management of complex financial and operational units. A comprehensive financial and administrative background with deep experience and technical skills in budgetary management, financial and strategic planning, and enterprise risk management are required.
A bachelor's degree from an accredited institution and ten years of progressively responsible analytical experience, including four years in the preparation, justification, and analysis, or the control and administration of a major budgetary program, are required. A postgraduate degree in finance or a comparable discipline is highly desired, as is experience with campus master planning, collective bargaining, a deep understanding of government regulations related to higher education, and experience working within university and system-wide policies and procedures.
All applications, nominations, and inquiries are invited. Applications should include, as separate documents, a CV or resume and a letter of interest addressing the themes in the leadership profile.

Organization
Cal State Monterey Bay offers extraordinary opportunities to our faculty, staff, and administrators as well as our students. We're a growing campus in a beautiful location with a collaborative atmosphere and generous benefits package - including employee housing and tuition reimbursement. Take a look at how Cal State Monterey Bay is doing what matters!
About California State University Monterey Bay
Cal State Monterey Bay provides more than 7,000 students an extraordinary opportunity to learn on a residential campus just one mile from the shores of the beautiful Monterey Bay. Our diverse student body receives personal attention in small classes while pursuing degrees in 25 undergraduate and seven graduate majors.
Founded in 1994 on the former site of Fort Ord by educators and community leaders, Cal State Monterey Bay faculty and staff build on that legacy as we explore innovative ways to meet the needs of a new generation of students while simultaneously powering the Monterey County economy.
While we serve students from the entire state of California, 33 percent of our undergraduates come from Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties. We pride ourselves on making higher education accessible to traditionally underserved and low-income populations. Seventy-two percent of our students receive some form of financial aid. Fifty-six percent of our students are among the first generation of their family to go to college. And with 45 percent of our students living on campus, we are one of the most residential universities in the CSU.
Location
One thing that makes Cal State Monterey Bay different from any other campus in the country is our location. Not only are we just one mile from the beach, we are on the site of a former Army base.
Going to school on an old Army base can be pretty cool. For example, the Visual & Public Art Department has made an amazing studio and gallery space out of old motorpool buildings. You'll find many bits and pieces of this history all over campus – unique and surprising reminders of Monterey Bay's military past.
Monterey Bay is on the central coast of California, just two hours south of San Francisco. The bay itself is one of the largest marine protected areas in the world and home to whales, deep sea anglerfish, and of course our mascot, sea otters. The Cal State Monterey Bay campus is close to pristine beaches, redwood forests, tidepools, and the Fort Ord National Monument.
The campus sits halfway between the Monterey Peninsula, which features the coastal communities of Pacific Grove, Monterey, Seaside and Carmel, and the Salinas Valley, known as the "Salad Bowl of the World" for its abundant agricultural production. The city of Salinas is the county seat and served as the setting for many of John Steinbeck's novels.
The campus straddles the cities of Seaside and Marina, which are small, diverse communities where many of our students live and work. We also offer online programs for those who don't live in the area.
Departments and Faculty
Within the Academic Affairs administrative division, six colleges oversee Cal State Monterey Bay's academic operations. Each college includes several academic units that deliver degrees, minors, and other academic offerings. The university currently offers a total of 25 undergraduate degrees with over 30 included concentrations, more than 30 minors, eight graduate degrees, and several teacher certification options.
At Cal State Monterey Bay, we're not about huge lecture halls. We're about learning, connecting, problem-solving, and working together. The faculty at Cal State Monterey Bay are here because they want to help students do just that. In fact, many of them gave up the lecture-hall lifestyle to teach at this university. They've won prestigious awards, traveled the world, and done ground-breaking research, but what really drives them is working with students.
From the First Year Seminar faculty who help students launch their college careers to the Capstone advisors who push students to deliver the best work they are capable of, our students get personal attention, mentoring, and learning opportunities that prepare them to succeed.
They give students hands-on experience along with theory. They take them into the community and onto the water. They use technology to connect with distance learners online, and employ new techniques such as flipped classrooms.
They're fully committed to academic excellence and they make a difference in students' lives. Find out more about our faculty here.
Come see why Cal State Monterey Bay is a great place to learn, live, and work!
