Dartmouth College
Associate Director, Department of Safety & Security and Emergency Operations

Founded in 1769, Dartmouth College is a member of the Ivy League and consistently ranks among the world's greatest academic institutions. As an R1 institution with high research activity, Dartmouth has forged a singular identity for combining its deep commitment to outstanding undergraduate liberal arts and graduate education with distinguished research and scholarship in the Arts and Sciences and its four leading graduate schools—the Geisel School of Medicine, the Guarini School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, Thayer School of Engineering, and the Tuck School of Business. The College serves 6,761 students and encompasses over 161 administrative, academic, residential, and athletic buildings. With its quarter-term academic calendar, Dartmouth's highly residential 269-acre main campus remains a very active 24/7 environment year-round. The College is located in the small town of Hanover, New Hampshire, judged one of the best places to live due to its strong sense of community, rich cultural life, and regional resources that include major teaching hospitals, a burgeoning high-tech sector with global connections, and extensive recreational opportunities. Influenced by its distinctive New England setting and heritage, Dartmouth embodies a pioneering commitment to "making a difference" in a community whose members work together to create knowledge, connect to the world, and further their sense of identity and direction.

Experience with accreditation, preferably under IACLEA standards, and extensive and varied experience in higher education, particularly in campus safety, campus security, or similar area of responsibility, are required. The successful candidate will have experience researching and implementing software systems and applications for operational and administrative purposes (i.e., scheduling, records systems, emergency mass notification, safety apps, etc.) and a demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural competency through actions, interactions, and communications with others, and a dedication to diversity and to serving the needs of a diverse campus population.

The associate director will have strong leadership and management skills; excellent written communications, public speaking, and people skills; be Innovative, creative, imaginative, flexible, and resourceful; and have a familiarity with PMAM, PowerDMS, or other accreditation management system, and highly proficient with computer applications, including the Microsoft Office Suite.
