nRole Overview:

nWe are hiring, on behalf of a premier liberal arts and sciences university, a Deputy Director for its Office of Admissions — a role at the heart of how the institution selects the students who shape its community. This is not an outreach, marketing, or student-recruitment role. It's an academic evaluation and decision-making leadership position — reviewing applications, running interview panels, making scholarship and admit calls, and guiding families through some of the most significant decisions of their lives.

n
Travel periodically to meet students and families
n





nWhat we're looking for

n

n
14–18 years of experience, with 10+ years leading or working closely within teams
n
A genuine, credible interest in liberal education, ideas, and current affairs — this isn't a checkbox, it shows up in every conversation and decision you'll make here
n
Excellent written and verbal communication — you'll be reading essays, writing decisions, and speaking with anxious parents in the same week
n
Comfort with data and analysis to inform (not replace) human judgement
n
An empathetic, patient, perceptive listener who can hold difficult conversations with grace
n
A proactive, detail-obsessed operator who thrives under deadline pressure
