Solange Grey

I’m a seasoned administrative, financial, and operations professional with more than 25 years of experience in local government, higher education, research administration, human resources, and organizational management. I hold a Professional in Human Resources (PHR) certification and a BA in Communication from Mills College.

As an Administrative Services Officer for the County of Marin, I oversee complex fiscal and administrative operations, including budgeting, financial analysis, procurement, contracts, compliance, and HR administration. During my tenure, the department's budget has grown from approximately $6.6 million to more than $20 million, with substantially expanded responsibilities.

I excel at identifying inefficiencies, solving complex problems, and designing practical, sustainable improvements. I've modernized contract intake, invoice processing, purchasing, and employee onboarding workflows. I've also contributed significantly to enterprise financial and HR system implementations through requirements analysis, testing, troubleshooting, and process development.

Previously, at UCSF, I supported NIH-funded research programs, including grants administration, financial forecasting, salary allocations, trainee appointments, reporting, and award closeout.

My greatest strengths include superior written and spoken communication, diplomacy, analytical reasoning, research, creativity, and sound judgment. I have a particular talent for translating complex financial, technical, and administrative information into clear, accessible guidance and building productive relationships across organizational boundaries.

I'm deeply committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and advocacy. I believe effective organizations must combine operational excellence with fairness, empathy, accountability, and genuine respect for people.

I bring humanity, humor, intellectual curiosity, and creativity to problem-solving. I enjoy navigating difficult conversations, finding common ground, and developing solutions that are both practical and compassionate. I'm comfortable working independently or collaboratively and embrace both emerging technologies and traditional approaches.

I'm seeking a permanent, preferably fully remote position in operations, financial management, research administration, program management, policy analysis, business analysis, process improvement, or related fields. I'm particularly interested in higher education, healthcare, nonprofits, foundations, and mission-driven organizations, but welcome opportunities across industries.

I'm open to senior specialist, analyst, individual contributor, and management roles, with compensation starting at $75,000 annually, depending on responsibilities and benefits.
