Executive Vice President

We are working with a Private Christian College searching for their next Executive VP. The College has a unique mission of providing an education that instructs the mind, discipleship that shapes the soul, and inspiration that inflames the heart. You will partner closely with the President by managing the college's internal operations, while the President focuses on cultivating external partnerships, expanding support networks, and enhancing recruitment channels.

Responsibilities:

• Cabinet Organization: Lead the structuring of the college’s cabinet-level positions.
• Regulatory Oversight: In coordination with the Chief Academic Officer, oversee the college’s relationships with accrediting and regulatory bodies such as TRACS, ABHE, and MA DHE.
• Leadership Supervision: Manage oversight of the college’s existing cabinet-level positions, deans, and their direct reports.
• Title IX and In-Service Activities: Manage or delegate duties related to Title IX compliance and the execution of in-service activities.
• Academic Support: Reduce the Academic Dean’s burden in faculty evaluations and record-keeping to free up time for more strategic tasks.
• Academic Efficiency: Aid in structuring the office of the Chief Academic Officer to effectively collaborate with the Academic Dean and Director of Student Services. Aim to eliminate non-essential tasks from the Academic Dean's workload, enabling a focus on broader strategic objectives.

Operational Responsibilities

In order to free up time for the President to devote the necessary time and effort to his duties, the President formally delegates to EVP duties related to internal management of the college. The EVP takes on the administrative responsibilities of the President as follows:

• Executive Leadership: Act as the President’s primary delegate for internal management of the college, assuming major administrative responsibilities and providing executive direction alongside the President.
• Management of Internal Affairs: Serve as the leading senior executive for day-to-day internal college affairs, managing the daily operations and providing administrative leadership, direction, and evaluation for all academic and operational activities.
• Areas of Oversight Include: Academic Success; Enrollment Management and Services; Financial Aid and Entrustment Management; Institutional Research and Effectiveness; Information Technology (IT); Hiring and Retention: The EVP will assume the majority of hiring decisions. The EVP will coordinate with the President on hiring positions that have implications for the college’s fidelity to the founding precepts (in particular full-time faculty in BRS; Dean of Students role; Directors of Student Life; and Chapel coordination). For such roles, the President should join in interviewing for new faculty and staff.
• Acting President: Conduct the duties of the President when the President is unable or unavailable.
• Board relations: Help the president prepare for and attend quarterly board meetings. The EVP becomes the main point of contact for various board subcommittee meetings which meet once per quarter (in particular the institutional and operations subcommittees)
• Budget and Facilities Oversight: Oversee the budgets and facilities of all academic and non-academic units of the College.
• Strategic Implementation: Implement the strategic vision of the Board and President by collaborating with college leaders to execute and evaluate major academic and student support initiatives, including recruitment, retention, and enrollment management.
• Strategic Planning: Work with the President and Board to develop the College’s Strategic Plan.
• Teaching: Continue to build rapport with students through teaching, provided there is a desire to do so.
