The Institutional Projects and Operations Analyst provides college-wide project management, analytical, administrative, and operational support to advance institutional priorities and the work of the Finance and Operations division. Reporting administratively to the Vice President of Finance and Operations, the position coordinates assigned projects and initiatives, serves as the division purchaser, develops systems for monitoring deadlines and deliverables, prepares reports and decision-support tools, and supports cross-functional work involving multiple divisions, departments, campuses, and external partners. For projects led by another division, the position works under the functional direction of the designated executive sponsor or project lead while remaining administratively assigned to Finance and Operations.
The position is expected to independently manage assigned work from initiation through completion, anticipate needs, identify and resolve issues, and ensure appropriate follow-through. The role requires sound judgment, strong project management and analytical skills, initiative, discretion, attention to detail, and the ability to coordinate work across diverse stakeholders without direct supervisory authority.

- Gather and synthesize information across functional areas, identify dependencies or unresolved issues, and prepare consolidated reports, briefing materials, and recommendations.

Finance and Operations Support:

Records Management and Digital Organization:
- Develop and maintain organized digital filing and information-management systems for institutional projects, Finance and Operations, procurement, and other assigned areas.

- Facilitate timely retrieval of records and documentation for audits, management inquiries, operational needs, and other institutional purposes.
Process Improvement and College-wide Coordination:
- Identify and recommend improvements to administrative, financial, operational, and project-management processes.
- Develop tools, templates, workflows, procedures, and documentation that improve efficiency, accountability, consistency, and information quality.
- Support implementation of new systems, procedures, technologies, and operational improvements across divisions and campuses.
