Vice President for Enrollment Management

Boston MA

Northeastern, a preeminent global, experiential, research university, seeks an exceptional leader of people and programs to serve as its next vice president for enrollment management. Building on its extraordinary successes in institutional positioning and student recruitment, the new vice president will lead development of the vision and strategy that will take the university to its next level of enrollment success, joining an institution-wide leadership team that is forward-looking, energetic, collaborative and committed to excellence.

Located in the heart of Boston and a leader in interdisciplinary research, urban engagement and the integration of classroom learning with real-world experience, Northeastern offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate programs. Able to provide its students the rich and diverse intellectual, artistic, cultural and business resources of Boston – as well as of the globe – the university features a solid foundation in the liberal arts and an integration of study and practice, with the belief that the two enlighten one another. Experiential education at Northeastern includes the nation's foremost program of cooperative education, a model that provides students with paid internships related to their field of study.

An institution that has transformed itself dramatically over the last 15 years so that it now ranks among the top national universities, Northeastern cultivates a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and accomplishment. Reporting to Chancellor Kenneth W. Henderson, the new vice president for enrollment management will lead a senior team of six and a divisional staff of 275 across 11 departments, with a $47 million budget for operations and staff; serve as chief architect of the next major positioning thrust of Enrollment Management; and function as a leader in university enrollment planning and strategy.

The new vice president will be a consummate professional who embraces a team environment and works with colleagues in a spirit of partnership, transparency and fiscal responsibility. This is a broad and far-reaching role for a superb communicator who is innovative, strategic and brings exceptional analytic and interpersonal skills. Immediate agenda items include further developing an exceptionally strong enrollment management team; providing leadership to Northeastern's enrollment marketing and messaging effort; building on a culture of collaboration, openness, inclusion and transparency in the division; and refining Enrollment Management structures and systems.
