Associate Dean for Finance and Administration, Carey Business School

The Opportunity

The Carey Business School’s mission is to expand Johns Hopkins University’s pursuit of research, discovery and education through dynamic learning opportunities, innovative faculty and interdisciplinary collaborations to help shape leaders who seize opportunities to create lasting commercial and societal value. Carey was founded on the principle that business is not an end unto itself, but a means for building a more successful society and with the goal of fundamentally changing business education through innovation and collaboration. In the last decade, Carey has significantly strengthened its research areas and curricula to match the needs of growing sectors of the global economy by hiring innovative, productive faculty out of top PhD programs and by significantly and deliberately growing its student body.


The Associate Dean for Finance and Administration is responsible for ensuring the highest standards of administrative excellence, fiscal integrity, and stewardship of resources in Carey Business School. As the school’s Divisional Business Officer (“DBO”), this role also functions as Carey’s de facto Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer. In partnership with the Dean and other school leaders, the DBO oversees Carey’s operating and capital budgets, manages daily administrative operations, and leads the implementation of the school’s financial and operational priorities. The DBO also champions a culture of accountability across finance and administration while overseeing central administrative functions, including financial planning, project management, human resources, IT, facilities, and research administration. Reporting directly to the Dean, with a secondary reporting line to the Johns Hopkins University Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration, the DBO serves as a prominent leader across the university.


The successful candidate will have 10+ years of progressively responsible financial and business operations experience, preferably in a large, complex, and decentralized organization. They should demonstrate success in high-level financial planning, budgeting, strategic thinking, research funding, and indirect cost recovery. Proven expertise in leading senior administrative professionals, including recruitment, performance evaluation, training, and career development, is essential, with a focus on building a top-tier team through empowerment and motivation. A commitment to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as promoting cultural competence, is vital, as the candidate will serve as an agent of progress in advancing equality and justice. A bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, business management, administration, or a related field are required. Master’s degree and CPA or CMA preferred.
