Job Summary
The School of Public Policy and Global Affairs (SPPGA) is a leading centre for innovation in governance and global public policy. The School is home to the Liu Institute for Global Issues, the Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI), the Office of Regional and International Community Engagement (ORICE), the Pacific Affairs journal, and the Institute of Asian Research (IAR) which includes 5 distinct research centres focusing on Southeast Asia, India and South Asia, China, Korea, and Japan. With a university-wide mandate, the school offers a wide range of programming for students at all levels, faculty, staff, and the community to engage in.

Assists with tracking research budgets by reviewing ongoing grants, as well as summarizing and categorizing financial resources (i.e., staff, travel, and other cost categories).
Tracks and reconciles expenditures to ensure alignment with funding agency guidelines and institutional policies; proactively identifies and resolves discrepancies in collaboration with finance teams.
Maintains financial records and reporting systems, utilizing tools such as Workday, Excel, and other financial management platforms to ensure accurate tracking, forecasting, and reporting of grant-related finances.

Inappropriate judgment could impact the team’s capacity to achieve deliverables, and to achieve timely and accurate research outputs.

Human Rights Code, including, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person.
