Job Story
🎵 “All About That Base (General Ledger)” 🎵
If you're the kind of person who gets just as excited about compliance as others do about concert tickets… we’ve got your backstage pass to an exciting opportunity at Wichita State University.
Our Financial Services team is on the lookout for someone who knows their way around policies, payment processing, and people. This role is part financial sleuth, part educator, and 100% essential to keeping our financial operations in perfect harmony. You’ll be the bridge between numbers and narratives—explaining revenue reports like they’re chart-topping hits, and guiding both staff and students through the rhythm of responsible fiscal practices.
Your days won’t be a monotonous loop—think of it more like a dynamic playlist. One day you might be managing PCI DSS audits and training content; the next, you'll be diving into e-commerce set-ups with TouchNet products or working side-by-side with departments to ensure their credit card processing hits all the right compliance notes.
You’ll manage everything from online training and PCI incident response plans to creating new event registrations, tracking down GL variances, and making sure our systems never miss a beat. And if you’ve got the finesse to help others understand complex policies while keeping the energy high and the spreadsheets clean—well, you're already speaking our language.
This is more than just crunching numbers—it’s about serving a campus community and bringing clarity to a fast-paced, ever-changing financial landscape. If you can handle the tempo, collaborate like a headliner, and love both people and process, don’t just sit in the crowd—step into the spotlight. Apply now and let’s make fiscal magic together.
