Staff invoicing . The manager will be responsible for tracking the amounts owed to published contributors, developing invoices for them and coordinating appropriate paperwork with the CCA and Finance departments to ensure prompt payment.
Newspaper expenses . The manager will be the financial-side facilitator of all Pioneer purchases – from office supplies to marketing materials, technology acquisitions to distribution costs. In some cases, this will mean working with office staff, outside vendors or other university departments.
Ordering supplies. The manager will buy office supplies for Pioneer, coordinating through the university’s purchasing system where appropriate.
Newspaper financials. The manager will meet regularly with our university financial contacts to track the Pioneer’s finances, ensure that bills are paid in timely fashion and make sure advertisers pay their bills. In addition, the manager must present a monthly report on the paper’s finances to the editor-in-chief and advisor.
