The position also optimizes department storefronts through industry-specific software and supports integrations among various revenue-related systems and other University systems including the University financial enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

Responsibilities

• Manage assigned eCommerce, merchant services, campus card, and payment-system activities, including system configuration, sales-tax treatment, accounting distributions, and general ledger integration.
• Reconcile daily and monthly payment batches, merchant settlements, clearing accounts, bank activity, campus card balances, and related general ledger accounts; research and resolve reconciling items promptly.
• Prepare and post recurring, accrual, and correcting journal entries for assigned activities, and support month-end and fiscal year-end close through account review, cutoff analysis, reconciliation certification, and audit-ready documentation.
• Prepare financial statements, account analyses, exception reports, management reports, and other financial data to support tax reporting, collections, revenue receipting, and management decision-making.
• Monitor automated feeds and integrations between assigned systems and the University general ledger; investigate and coordinate correction of interface errors, posting failures, duplicate transactions, refund issues, chargebacks, and other transactional discrepancies.
• Develop, document, and maintain accounting procedures, reconciliations, system controls, and record-retention support for assigned eCommerce, merchant-service, campus card, and payment processes.
• Evaluate internal controls over merchant accounts, cashiering interfaces, refunds, deposits, and payment processing; recommend improvements that strengthen accuracy, efficiency, compliance, and segregation of duties.
• Provide schedules, transaction support, reconciliations, and explanations for internal and external audits and compliance reviews.
• Administer campus merchant accounts and coordinate assigned PCI DSS compliance activities, including merchant onboarding, periodic reviews, documentation, and follow-up on remediation items.
• Build, configure, test, deploy, maintain, and audit department-specific online storefronts and point-of-sale sites using approved University solutions and secure payment paths, including product setup, inventory parameters, event settings, tax treatment, accounting distributions, and settlement rules.
• Configure and maintain campus card functions, including declining-balance plans, meal plans, account parameters, billing triggers, and related payment methods.
• Coordinate testing and operational support for integrations involving identity data, campus point-of-sale hardware, mobile ordering systems, checkout-free retail environments, and other assigned systems.
• Provide training, documentation, and technical support to Cashier Office staff and campus departments, and serve as an accounting and systems resource for assigned processes and payment systems.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in business, accounting or related field required.
• At least two years of administrative experience working with higher education ERPs, auxiliary systems, or campus eCommerce tools.
• Two years' related experience in generally accepted accounting principles and procedures preferred.
• Direct, hands-on administration of TouchNet Marketplace (uStores/uPay) and the Atrium Campus Card ecosystem preferred.
