Our Fleming, Our Future, the College’s 2019-24 strategic plan, recognizes that technology and changing demographics have disrupted the world in which we live. Augmenting this digitalization priority has been the rapid demand for change as a result of COVID-19. Fleming College is seeking a transformative Vice-President, Corporate Finance to lead the modernization of the portfolio and help advance Fleming’s vision to create prosperity and transform communities through education and innovation.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the President, and as a member of the senior leadership team, you’ll actively participate in the creation of a new business and operational strategy for the College as it navigates new directions during the pandemic and post COVID-19.  This key role works within the intersection of business strategy, operational excellence, and successful execution for Fleming College.  As Vice-President, Corporate Finance, you will be accountable for safeguarding the financial health of the College through the development and implementation of leading-edge financial and risk management plans, next generation business models, and enhancing partnerships to enable the achievement of academic and enterprise-wide goals. You will oversee capital asset management, the organization’s investment portfolio, financial and legal advisors as required.

As Vice-President, Corporate Finance, you’ll create, coach and mentor a high-performing team, promoting a culture of accountability and respect, and fostering an inclusive community. You’ll act as a key business partner for the senior management team, providing critical thinking and new business insights to enable the organization to see the educational landscape differently and prioritize the needs of the College community. As a trusted advisor to the President, you’ll also provide direction and support to the Board of Governors on relevant corporate issues.

As the ideal candidate for this high-impact and mission-critical role, you are a respected and forward-thinking business leader with a proven track record of successfully providing strategic and business counsel at the executive level, well beyond the lens of finance. You’re described by your peers as an innovative and strategic thinker who critically analyzes and assesses complex situations to drive value and the overall success of the organization. Your strong communication and interpersonal skills allow you to develop and foster relationships with key stakeholders in a variety of working environments.

You embrace technology and your expertise across the full spectrum of administrative management and leadership is critical to your success in this role. Along with a university degree in Business or a related discipline (ideally at the master’s level), you’ll preferably have a relevant professional designation.

To succeed at Fleming, it is also essential that you have a deep and abiding commitment to equity and diversity, with proven skills in promoting a respectful and inclusive workplace environment, and the ability to establish trust and build strong relationships and consensus.  Fleming is committed to strengthening its relationship with Indigenous Peoples by helping to create opportunities in post-secondary education and ensuring all students and staff gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indigenous Peoples. This is a shared responsibility and, it too, will be reflected in your mandate.
