Lead continuous improvement initiatives that enhance operational effectiveness, service delivery, and student satisfaction.
Remain informed of emerging trends, research, and best practices in student affairs and higher education, applying those insights to advance departmental and institutional priorities.
Demonstrate agility, sound judgment, and a solutions-oriented mindset when responding to complex or urgent student and institutional matters.
Perform other duties and lead special initiatives as assigned.

Five or more years of progressively responsible leadership experience in higher education, Student Affairs, enrollment management, or a related field.
Demonstrated experience supporting student success, retention, engagement, and persistence initiatives.
