About the position

The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the Cardiovascular Research Institute (CVRI) at the University of California San Francisco serves as the chief operating officer, overseeing all aspects of administrative and financial functions. This includes financial management, human resources, research administration, space planning, administrative support, IT, website management, facilities, equipment management, and the day-to-day operations of the institute. The CAO plays a crucial role in ensuring that the institute operates efficiently and effectively, providing the necessary support to researchers and faculty members involved in cardiovascular research. Reporting directly to the CVRI Director and indirectly to the School of Medicine Vice Dean of Administration and Finance, the CAO collaborates with investigators from various academic departments and provides oversight and administrative support for the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education and the Adult Pulmonary Function Lab. This position requires a strategic planning partner who can provide skillful administrative, operational, and financial management across all sites, maximizing the utilization of resources and maintaining administrative excellence. The successful management of existing collaborative agreements is essential, requiring the CAO to negotiate, problem-solve, and achieve consensus with administrators and faculty outside the Institute. These partnerships are critical, especially during times of administrative changes. Additionally, the CAO is responsible for managing the Smith Cardiovascular Research Building (SCVRB), which has the capacity to house 48 laboratories and a cardiology outpatient clinic. The role demands a high level of leadership and the ability to navigate complex administrative landscapes to support the mission of the CVRI.
