We are seeking an experienced administrator with demonstrated success at increasing levels of budgetary responsibility and facilities management, establishing collaborative initiatives from multiple departments, managing large and complex organizations, and leading strategic planning, budgeting and resource management initiatives and special projects, preferably within the administration for a large, public research university.
Through a series of listening sessions with various constituencies on campus to be held beginning in August, the search firm will develop a comprehensive position profile that includes challenges and opportunities for the next VC-OMCP. The Search Advisory Committee will begin reviewing candidates soon after the position profile is developed and will continue until the position is filled.

All nominees will be contacted in confidence by the search firm to discuss their willingness to have their names put forward to the search advisory committee.
