Fiscal Technician - Signers' Business Office

The Signers’ Business Office (SBO) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks is seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Fiscal Technician to join our team! As part of the SBO, you’ll work in a dynamic office that provides essential financial support to our faculty, staff, and students.

Our team plays a vital role in helping the university community navigate and comply with a variety of federal, state, and university policies and procedures. We partner with approximately 40 departments and units across UAF, supporting their financial operations and contributing to the broader mission of the university.

In this role, you’ll assist with processing purchase requests, reconciling accounts, and supporting Fiscal Officers in managing unit funds. We are looking for someone with a solid understanding of purchasing and fiscal procedures, strong communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a team-oriented, deadline-driven environment.

If you enjoy problem-solving, working collaboratively, and making a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply and become part of the SBO team!

To thrive in this role, the ideal candidate will have at least two years of experience as a Fiscal Technician in a university or similarly complex setting. A strong foundation in fiscal procedures and a keen attention to detail are essential. Just as important, however, is the ability to communicate effectively—both verbally and in writing—with a wide range of stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, and colleagues across campus.

We are looking for a team player who is collaborative, approachable, and proactive in problem-solving. The preferred candidate will demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning and professional development, with a willingness to pursue additional training or education to enhance both individual performance and the department’s overall effectiveness.

Excellent customer service skills, a positive attitude, and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment are key to success in this position.

Minimum Qualifications:

One year of college coursework in Accounting or related field and two years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of training and experience.

Preferred: 3 or more years of high level customer service experience.

Position Details:
