JOB REQUIREMENTS: Job Summary: The award-winning, multi-generational UW
Odyssey Project is a UW-Madison program housed within the Division of
Continuing Studies. Through free access to education, Odyssey takes a
whole family approach to breaking cycles of generational poverty while
focusing on giving adult and youth learners a voice, increasing
participants\' confidence in reading, writing, and speaking, and
creating a supportive community for students as they continue on their
educational journeys. Now in its 21st year, this inspirational project
has empowered low-income adults to overcome adversity and achieve their
dreams by getting a jump start at earning college degrees they never
thought possible. Some graduates of the program have journeyed from
homelessness to UW-Madison degrees, or from incarceration to meaningful
work in the community. Odyssey consists of six programs serving adults
and their children and grandchildren, held at the UW South Madison
Partnership Space and in several correctional facilities across the
state. The Budget Director will manage Odyssey\'s increasingly complex
budget and finances. Odyssey has over 25 team members, an annual budget
of \$3+ million, and funding sources ranging from federal grants to
private donors. This role includes, but is not limited to, budget
creation, grant management, ensuring compliance with UW policies and
procedures, and more. To be successful in this role, the incumbent

report to the Odyssey Project Executive Director and will collaborate
closely with Odyssey Project staff, the Division of Continuing Studies
finance team, and the separate 501(c)3 nonprofit Friends of the UW
Odyssey Project, which has its own board and treasurer.
