Executive Director, Business Intelligence and Technology Solutions

JOB SUMMARY:
The Executive Director of Business Intelligence and Technology Solutions is a seasoned senior
hands-on professional who serves as the technology and analytics expert for Finance and
Business Administration. The Executive Director receives general direction, priorities, identified
control issues, business needs, and expected outcomes from the Senior Associate Vice President
of Strategic Initiatives and Transformation.
The Executive Director independently designs, builds, implements, and maintains business
intelligence, workflow-automation, internal-controls automation, and continuous controls monitoring solutions. The position develops dashboards, KPIs, scorecards, data models,
automated reports, digital workflows, system validations, exception reports, alerts, low-code
applications, and other technology solutions that improve efficiency, monitoring, internal
controls, and decision-making.
The Executive Director works with functional owners to understand process details and business
rules, and with Information Technology when enterprise integration, ERP configuration,
cybersecurity review, or specialized development is required. The Executive Director drafts
business and functional requirements, leads the functional evaluation and selection of software,
develops acceptance criteria, and tests solutions before recommending acceptance. Functional
leaders retain ownership of their operations, data, processes, controls, and corrective actions.

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS:
This is a working Executive Director position distinguished by its integration of business
intelligence, technology solution development, business process automation, internal control
automation, and continuous controls monitoring. The incumbent leverages extensive expertise
to independently lead complex, cross-functional initiatives while personally designing,
developing, implementing, and optimizing innovative solutions. Unlike a traditional executive
leadership role focused primarily on oversight, coordination, or strategic recommendations, this
position requires a hands-on executive who delivers end-to-end solutions that drive operational
efficiency, strengthen governance, enhance data-informed decision-making, and support
continuous process improvement across the organization.
The position translates general business needs and identifies control issues into practical
technology solutions and serves as the functional lead from requirements development through software evaluation, testing, and acceptance recommendation. The Executive Director may
independently lead process-improvement initiatives when technology, automation, systems,
data, or analytics are the primary enablers and support broader transformation initiatives by
delivering the required technology component. The position does not replace the operational
responsibilities of functional leaders, the enterprise technology responsibilities of Information
Technology, the procurement and contracting responsibilities of authorized university offices, or
the independent assurance responsibilities of Internal Audit.
