About the Role

The Company is in search of a Dean for its College of Business Administration. The ideal candidate will be a visionary and growth-oriented leader with a strong background in strategic leadership, scholarship, and/or professional accomplishments. The Dean will be responsible for nurturing and strengthening the College's teaching, research, and culture, while also driving innovation, technological growth, and partnerships with the business community. A key aspect of the role is to create opportunities for students and faculty, in line with the University's mission as an urban, community-engaged institution. The successful candidate will be expected to have outstanding interpersonal and communication skills, collaboration, creative energy, entrepreneurial ambition, and well-honed fundraising skills. Applicants for the Dean position at the company's College of Business Administration should possess a strong growth orientation and a commitment to the values of the institution, including excellence, engagement, inclusion, and integrity. The role requires a leader who can inspire and lead a diverse academic community, and who is dedicated to the student-centered and socially mobile focus of the University. The Dean will be instrumental in bolstering the University's role as an engine for workforce development in the region and must be prepared to work closely with the business community to achieve this goal. A background in a related field, such as business, economics, or a similar discipline, is essential, and a Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree is typically required. The position demands a candidate with a proven track record in academic and/or professional settings, and a clear vision for the future of business education in a rapidly changing global landscape.
