The Sponsored Project Financial Analyst 1 (SPFA) is an integral part of the Sponsored Agreement Team (SAT) within Women's & Children's Services at Oregon Health & Science University. This team is responsible for providing comprehensive administrative and financial management for various sponsored projects, including grants, contracts, and clinical trials. The SPFA specifically focuses on post-award administration and financial management, which encompasses a range of tasks such as pre-award budget assistance, routine financial reporting, expense reconciliation, effort certification, labor adjustments, billing and revenue tracking, expense review and approval, and other administrative duties as required. As the entry-level position in a three-tiered series, the SPFA role is characterized by a lower level of decision-making authority, less complex assignments, and closer supervision compared to higher-level analysts. Employees in this position will balance their time between analytical tasks and procedural activities, ensuring that all financial aspects of sponsored projects are managed effectively and efficiently. The role requires a strong understanding of financial principles and the ability to navigate complex financial problems, making it essential for candidates to possess strong analytical and numerical skills. In addition to financial management, the SPFA will also engage in customer service, working closely with faculty and staff to support their financial needs related to sponsored projects. This position is ideal for individuals who are detail-oriented, organized, and capable of working both independently and as part of a team. The SPFA will play a crucial role in ensuring compliance with financial policies and procedures while contributing to the overall success of the Sponsored Agreement Team.
