The Fiscal Technician for Virginia Tech’s Institute for Advanced Computing (IAC) provides essential fiscal and administrative support in a newly established, fast-paced academic research environment. While primarily based in the Institute, this role also supports Virginia Tech's regional team in the Greater Washington, D.C. Area (GWDCA) during the initial growth phase. The Fiscal Technician will serve as a collaborative member of the Institute’s fiscal team.

This position is primarily responsible for post-award financial management of sponsored research projects including transaction processing, expense reconciliation, account monitoring, and reporting. In addition to managing sponsored awards, the Fiscal Technician will support a range of departmental fiscal operations such as procurement, reimbursements, and internal financial tracking.

The ideal candidate will be proactive, resourceful, and comfortable working in an evolving environment where policies and procedures are still being developed. They must be adept at interpreting complex sponsor requirements, ensuring compliance with university policies, and achieving results with limited procedural guidance.

This is a unique opportunity to help build the financial infrastructure of a new university initiative. The person in this role must embrace change, be committed to delivering results, and be ready to take ownership in a developing operational environment.
