The Opportunity

The Director of Academic Affairs Operations provides leadership, coordination, and accountability for the operational functions supporting the Worldwide Academic Affairs Department. This position directly supervises three Faculty Credentialing Managers and provides oversight of faculty credentialing, course clearances, faculty records, data systems, accreditation-related documentation, and process improvement initiatives.

This role offers the opportunity to strengthen systems, improve workflows, and build effective partnerships across the University in support of faculty success.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
