The Company is seeking a University Librarian with a strong strategic vision to lead its libraries into a new era of success. The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting faculty and student research, maintaining the global reach of library collections, and engaging with the broader community. This role is pivotal, as the libraries are a cornerstone of the institution and are at a key juncture for their own strategic future. The University Librarian will have oversight of all library divisions, including a significant operations budget, and will be a principal fundraiser as the company prepares for a comprehensive capital campaign. The position demands a leader who can balance the dedication of staff and the beauty of physical spaces with the operational challenges of the current environment, and who can bring a fresh perspective to the role. Applicants for the University Librarian position at the company should be proactive in exploring new opportunities in scholarly communications and publishing, and stay abreast of the fast-moving field of library science. The role requires a leader capable of both strategic vision and practical execution, with a focus on addressing the needs of the libraries and the broader university community in creative, research-forward ways. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in library management, including experience in fundraising, and will be prepared to represent the libraries in various academic and professional associations. This is a unique opportunity to lead a prestigious library system and make a significant impact on the academic and cultural life of the institution.
