PSERS, a $72.5 billion public pension fund located in Harrisburg, is searching for a Chief Financial Officer. PSERS is the 16th largest state-sponsored public defined benefit pension plan in the nation serving over 517,000 members. This is an exciting opportunity to join a new executive team that has been leading PSERS through transition and organizational change. The CFO position is open due to the current CFO’s upcoming retirement.

PSERS is a governmental, cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plan to which most members and employers contribute. They also administers a defined contribution plan and two postemployment healthcare programs. A quasi-independent agency of the Commonwealth, PSERS is governed by a 15-member Board of Trustees.

The CFO reports to the Executive Director and is the central point of responsibility and accountability for the Office of Financial Management. Managing a team of 45, the CFO’s primary responsibility is to manage all financial operations, which includes the pension, two postemployment healthcare plans, and the defined contribution plan.

A strategic financial leader with a strong understanding of public sector finance (e.g., GASB, financial reporting, investment accounting, actuarial funding concepts) is desired. A bachelor’s degree, a minimum of ten years of relevant experience, seven years in a senior management position are required. The CFO position is exempt and an “at will” employee and must maintain permanent Pennsylvania residency.
