Director of Enrollment Management Marketing and Communications

The University of Missouri (“Mizzou”), the state’s flagship and a proud member of the Southeastern Conference, seeks a creative, strategic, and visionary leader to serve as the next Director of Enrollment Management Marketing and Communications within the Division of Enrollment Management. Reporting directly to the new Vice Provost for Enrollment Management, this role will play a pivotal part in shaping how future Tigers discover Mizzou, experience the campus, and ultimately choose to join Mizzou’s vibrant community.

Mizzou, founded in 1839, is the flagship of the four-campus University of Missouri system. Mizzou is a proud member of the AAU and is designated as a Carnegie R1 and Land-Grant University. The campus is home to over 31,000 students from all 50 states and over 100 countries working toward completion of 300-plus degree and certificate programs across 13 Colleges and Schools. Mizzou is centrally located in Columbia, Missouri, a place consistently ranked as one of America’s best places to live, and its central location provides convenient access to the 65% of students who are Missouri residents. Ranked among the nation’s best value universities and home of the nation’s most powerful research reactor, Mizzou puts hands-on experience at the center of education and delivers impactful results.

Mizzou is experiencing tremendous momentum, and this director will be on the ground floor with the new Vice Provost for Enrollment Management to help capitalize on this momentum by creating and implementing new strategies to continue Mizzou on its impressive trajectory. The director will be joining Mizzou at a pivotal moment as the unit recently transitioned from Mizzou’s central marketing and communications office to the Division of Enrollment Management. The next director will have the opportunity to lead the development of all marketing and communications efforts, manage messaging and positioning through creative multi-channel communications, and inspire a team of communicators to deliver a cohesive, professional, and integrated brand that elevates Mizzou’s national profile, supports undergraduate recruitment, and aids in onboarding new students. By effectively marketing the holistic student experience through an innovative and streamlined marketing and communication strategy, the director will showcase Mizzou’s continued trajectory of success to a wider audience of prospective students, families, and counselors.
