About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director for its Library and Special Collections. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing strong leadership to the library, special collections, and archives team, with a focus on meeting the evolving needs of students, faculty, staff, and the community in the digital landscape. This role involves strategic planning, program administration, and oversight of business activities. The Executive Director will also serve as a liaison and representative on academic affairs and university committees, and is expected to foster a culture of shared governance within the library. Collaboration with university stakeholders to develop new programs, curriculum, and resources is essential, as is the ability to advocate for the library in institutional processes.
