If the IUF sounds like a fit for you, we invite you to join us today. 

As the Compliance & Disbursement Services Assistant, you are the operational backbone of the disbursement and platform administration function, ensuring internal financial workflows run accurately, efficiently, and in full alignment with IUF policy.

Your work spans several interconnected functions. You review and code internal general ledger disbursements, verify vendor information, and confirm that supporting documentation aligns with requested totals before processing checks, ACH transfers, and wire transfers. 

You own the full administration of the organization's expense management platform, managing user accounts, corporate cards, department hierarchies, and authorized signer roles to keep the system current and compliant. You also conduct recurring compliance audits, lead account cleanup initiatives, manage scholarship reimbursement workflows, and maintain the outstanding check registry to support unclaimed property reporting and state compliance filings.

You work cross-functionally with colleagues across IUF, IU, and the Accounting teams, fielding policy questions from IU signers, supporting audit documentation requests, and bringing a customer service mindset to every interaction. If you take ownership of detail-oriented work, bring a policy-grounded approach to financial operations, and are looking for a role where you can grow, we'd encourage you to apply.
