Associate Vice President for Campus Auxiliary Services

The University of Louisville (UofL), a public university founded in 1798 and one of the few institutions recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as both a Research 1 and Community Engaged University, seeks an innovative and entrepreneurial leader to serve as its inaugural Associate Vice President for Campus Auxiliary Services (AVP). With a total enrollment of approximately 24,000, more than 2,600 faculty, and 4,300 staff, the UofL is a large, complex university and academic health sciences center spread across three campuses in metropolitan Louisville. The AVP will unite campus auxiliary services under one portfolio, bringing a new level of strategy, synergy, and sophistication to these critical university functions. The AVP will join a dynamic and growing university and will have the opportunity to make a deep and lasting impact on UofL’s student experience and entrepreneurial capacity. 

Reporting to Vice President for Operations and Chief of Staff, and part of the Office of Finance and Administration, the AVP will oversee Campus Auxiliary Services, which includes dining, parking, vending, print and mail services, the University Bookstore, and the Cardinal Card Office. As the inaugural leader of a portfolio that newly unites auxiliary services under common leadership, the AVP will serve as a strong manager, change leader, and systems thinker, breaking down silos, strengthening communication, and developing synergies between functions. The AVP will be an engaged partner and collaborator, forging strong relationships across the campus community, particularly with athletics, student affairs, and UofL Health. Innovation will be the central tenet of this newly created role. The AVP will consistently bring an entrepreneurial and data-informed approach to strategically support the university’s growth trajectory by driving increased efficiencies, revenue generation, new ventures, and asset optimization.
