About the Role

The Company is seeking a Senior Vice Provost and Chief of Staff (SVP/PCS) to serve as a strategic partner to the Incoming Executive Vice President and Provost. This inaugural role is pivotal in providing high-level strategic leadership, serving as a trusted advisor, and integrative leader across academic and administrative units. The SVP/PCS will be responsible for driving key initiatives, facilitating decision-making, and ensuring alignment with the institution's priorities. The ideal candidate will have a proven record of leadership in fast-paced, mission-driven environments, with the ability to execute complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives. They must possess financial acumen, a deep understanding of higher education culture and governance, and a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. Exceptional judgment, communication, and collaboration skills are essential, as is the ability to navigate ambiguity and build trust across diverse constituencies.

The successful candidate will be a strategic thinker, action-oriented leader, and will be expected to anticipate needs, offer candid counsel, and drive institutional effectiveness with integrity and diplomacy. Responsibilities include supporting the Provost in advancing institutional priorities, leading executive talent management efforts, and representing the Provost's Office in national forums. The role is highly project-oriented and requires a candidate who is adept at multi-tasking and agile in their approach. The SVP/PCS will also be instrumental in preparing the Provost to make well-informed decisions, and must be capable of issue-spotting, anticipating challenges, and communicating proactively to advance the company's strategic objectives.
