Finance and Program Administrator - Stanford Program in Japan

Stanford in Japan Godo Kaisha is seeking qualified candidates for a 30 hour per week (75%) Finance & Program Administrator position at the center in Kyoto Japan.

As the Imperial Capital for over a thousand years, Kyoto is the birthplace and custodian of many of the ancient traditions that make Japanese culture so distinctive. Yet Kyoto is also a strikingly dynamic, forward-looking and innovative city – an apparent contradiction that students studying in the Kyoto program can explore through their academic courses and field trips, through interactions with their homestay families and Doshisha University students, and through meeting the people of this incredible city in everyday life.

• Represent Stanford University with the local bank and other officials. Reconcile the monthly bank account and submit to the home office.
• Support GK Director and manage local consultancy firm to prepare and file tax returns (e.g. consumption and surtax, income tax, withholding taxes, registration and transfer taxes, etc.).
• Support the Director with the preparation of the annual center budget plan.
• Coordinate logistics and payments for program activities, events and field trips.
