Job Summary

As a key member of the leadership team, you will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and technical execution. You will serve as a key ambassador for UATX—meeting with prospective students, parents, and developing relationships with key schools and networks—while acting as a systems and operations architect. Leveraging Palantir Foundry and other IT systems, you will implement the automated data pipelines and AI-driven workflows that power our growth. This is a role for an entrepreneurial builder tasked with designing the strategy, managing a small AI powered team, and ensuring our operational infrastructure keeps us nimble.

• High-Stakes Ambassadorship: Represent UATX extensively across the U.S., delivering presentations that distill the university’s mission and program into a compelling call to action for students and families.

• Tactical Execution: Develop and execute a comprehensive recruitment strategy that bridges the gap between high-level vision and ground-level results, moving fluidly from "big picture" planning to "in-the-weeds" execution.

• Organizational Scaling: Evaluate, build, and lead a sustainable, entrepreneurial admissions team; establish scalable systems and documentation to support a rapidly growing institution; develop automated reporting for president, board, and accreditors.

• Delegation: Act as a captain for prospective student engagement, identifying and delegating high-value meetings to the appropriate faculty or leadership to ensure families receive a highly tailored UATX experience.

• Enterpreneurial: A "builder" mindset with the capacity to hire, mentor, and manage a team while maintaining a personal track record of ownership and follow-through.

• Strategic & Tactical Agility: The ability to iterate on a 12-month recruitment roadmap with senior leadership and collaborate on tactical marketing with the communications team.

• Master Communicator: Exceptional people skills, with the ability to become well informed about the UATX program and its unique value propositions.

• Start-up Energy and Mindset: UATX is a mission-driven startup; we expect an uncommon level of commitment of time and energy.
