CFO (Member of Management Board)

The University Centre for Dental Medicine Basel (UZB) combines patient treatment, academic teaching, and research under one roof. With around 300 employees, approximately 100,000 treatments per year, and a turnover of approx. CHF 40 million, the UZB provides its services based on service agreements with the University of Basel and the Canton of Basel-Stadt, among others. We are looking for a CFO with convincing business management and financial knowledge. As a member of the management board, in addition to financial expertise, entrepreneurial thinking and action are required to manage and further develop the company as a whole.

Your Responsibility

• You are responsible for the financial management of the UZB – from budget, liquidity, and financial planning, through accounting and financial reporting according to Swiss GAAP FER, to controlling – and ensure meaningful, level-appropriate reporting to our service providers, the management board, and the board of directors.

• You ensure financing and liquidity, further develop risk management and the internal control system, and are the point of contact for the board of directors' audit committee and the auditors.

• You manage and develop the Finance (approx. 10 employees), IT (3), Technical Services (3), and Purchasing departments with four directly subordinate managers, and promote cross-functional collaboration.

• You drive the digitalization and further development of processes and systems and play a significant role in the ongoing evaluation of a new ERP solution.

• As a member of the management board, you also bear overall corporate responsibility and actively contribute to questions of corporate development.

• You advise the CEO and the management board as a sparring partner on all business management issues and develop business cases for new services and projects.

• You create the basis for decisions for dialogue with internal and external stakeholders in a publicly regulated environment and maintain contact with relevant stakeholders.

Your Professional Background

• You have substantial expertise in finance and controlling, as well as experience in a responsible financial leadership role.

• You have completed a university or university of applied sciences degree in business administration or are an expert in accounting and controlling; experience with Swiss GAAP FER and SAP is an advantage.

• You have leadership experience, are accustomed to participating in decision-making processes and then consistently implementing decisions within your area of responsibility. You communicate in a differentiated and transparent manner, work pragmatically, and combine financial diligence with openness to new solutions.

• You have fluent German and good English language skills.

• You are interested in digitalization and the responsible use of data and new technologies.

• Experience in the healthcare sector or in a public-law organization is welcome, but not a prerequisite.

What Makes the Role Special

The UZB is a dynamic institution: founded in 2016 and grown by around 30% since 2021. Our structures, processes, and systems can be actively co-shaped. You combine a key financial role with the opportunity to help shape the further development of an organization with a social mission from a management board perspective. The position requires proximity to day-to-day operations as well as a reliable view of the big picture.
