Post Award Analyst (Full-time; Days) - University Medical Center

Your job is more than a job.

🌟 Behind Every Great Research Breakthrough? Someone Who Makes the Numbers Work!

Love a balanced budget, a perfectly reconciled account, and the satisfaction of knowing every dollar is accounted for? What if you could put those skills to work supporting healthcare research?

At LCMC Health, we're looking for a detail-loving, number-crunching, problem-solving professional to help keep the financial side of our sponsored research programs running smoothly.

From managing grant revenue and preparing financial reports to working with research sponsors and investigators, you'll help ensure the funding behind important research is accurately tracked, documented, and managed.

If you're someone who can spot a discrepancy, navigate a spreadsheet, and keep multiple deadlines on track, we'd love to meet you!

💼 What You'll Do

• Prepare and process invoices in accordance with grant and contract requirements
• Track, collect, and accurately code incoming research award revenue and payments
• Reconcile financial activity and ensure reporting deadlines are met
• Prepare financial reports and documentation for sponsoring agencies and affiliates
• Review budgets, contractual obligations, and study protocols to support accurate financial administration
• Prepare correspondence, prior approval requests, and other documentation for funding agencies
• Partner with research sponsors, principal investigators, faculty, and affiliate teams to keep financial processes moving
• Stay current on policies, procedures, and requirements related to sponsored research programs
• Help troubleshoot financial questions and maintain accurate, organized records

⚡ What Makes You Great in This Role

• You love when the numbers add up—and you're determined to figure out why when they don't
• You're organized, detail-oriented, and know how to keep multiple deadlines from sneaking up on you
• You can navigate budgets, contracts, and financial reports with confidence
• You're a natural problem-solver who doesn't mind digging into the details
• You communicate just as well with people as you do with spreadsheets
• You can balance competing priorities without losing track of the big picture
• You take pride in knowing your behind-the-scenes work supports something bigger

🧠 What You Bring

• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to interpret budgets, contractual requirements, and study protocols
• Understanding of financial reporting, reconciliation, and billing processes
• Working knowledge of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems, including Epic
• Ability to manage multiple projects, deadlines, and requests simultaneously
• A collaborative approach to working with sponsors, researchers, and internal teams

📋 Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting, Research Administration, Business Administration, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in post-award grants and contracts administration, accounting, or a related field

🎯 Why This Role Matters

Groundbreaking research doesn't happen without the funding, organization, and financial oversight that keep it moving forward.

While our researchers focus on advancing healthcare, you'll help ensure the financial details are accurate, deadlines are met, and sponsor requirements are fulfilled.

Your work helps support the research programs that contribute to new discoveries and better care for our communities.

💙 Put your financial expertise to work where every dollar supports the bigger picture—advancing healthcare through research!
