Loyola University Maryland, a Jesuit, Catholic university in the City of Baltimore, is committed to the educational and spiritual traditions of the Society of Jesus and the development of the whole person. The University inspires students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world.

Loyola University Maryland seeks a visionary, collaborative, and mission-driven leader to serve as its next vice president for finance and administration/treasurer. The new vice president will join the institution as it ushers in an era of growth and innovation with a recently launched ambitious Strategic Plan 2030, Together We Rise, which establishes a framework for the University to build on its strengths and advance, grow, care, and thrive. In collaboration with the president, University leadership, and the Board of Trustees, the new vice president will serve both as lead financial steward of the University and as a key strategic advisor to the president, deftly supporting a community that is dedicated to student success and transformational excellence as it seeks to achieve its strategic aspirations.

Founded in 1852, Loyola Maryland is one of 27 Jesuit institutions of higher education in the United States and the first to bear the name of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Today, Loyola enrolls approximately 4,000 undergraduate and 1,100 graduate students across the Sellinger School of Business and Management, the School of Education, and Loyola College of Arts and Sciences. In addition, Loyola Maryland is nationally recognized as one of the top universities in the country by the Wall Street Journal/College Pulse 2025 Best Colleges in the U.S. Loyola ranked #23 among 500 universities on the list and #1 among Jesuit institutions, Maryland schools, and members of the Patriot League. Deeply committed to the Ignatian principles upon which it was founded, Loyola focuses on the care and education of the whole person—in mind, body, and spirit—and its mission centers on preparing its students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world.

This prestigious and comprehensive University offers programs of instruction in over 40 disciplines with a strong residential liberal-arts-based undergraduate program and professional graduate programs at the master's and doctoral levels. In addition, this vibrant community has a consistent track record of balanced budgets, while making new investments in strategic initiatives and campus infrastructure. The University continues to produce impactful, positive changes in net assets from operating activities. Loyola reports total gross assets of nearly $750 million, an annual operating budget of nearly $320 million, and an endowment of approximately $300 million as of May 31, 2023.

Reporting directly to President Terrence M. Sawyer, the vice president for finance and administration/ treasurer plays a critical role in developing, communicating about, and implementing the fiscal management and operational strategies that sustain the University. The vice president is responsible for the strategic leadership and management of a comprehensive portfolio that includes oversight of business and finance, auxiliary services, financial services, facilities management, human resources, information systems, and risk management. The vice president serves as a vital partner to the president, provost, Board of Trustees, deans, and other University leaders as they determine and advance institutional imperatives; strategically align resources to University priorities; devise long-term planning strategies to ensure financial sustainability; adapt to an ever-changing world and marketplace; identify and leverage new revenue generation opportunities; continuously assess structures, policies, and practices for maximum effectiveness; and affirm and advance an Ignatian mission-centered campus rooted in core values of academic excellence, focus on the whole person, integrity and honesty, diversity, community, justice, service, leadership, discernment, and constant challenge to improve.
