About The Position

The Department of Auxiliary Services at the College of Southern Nevada generates and manages business through an array of non-academic services that CSN students, faculty, and staff need and value. Auxiliary Services include printing services, graphic design, copier and printer programs, motor pool services, and campus identification services. Auxiliary Services also manages contracted services including bookstore operations, transportation services, vending services, food, and catering services. The functions assigned to the Assistant Director of Auxiliary Services serve a critical role in the delivery and support of essential services to the College.
This position encompasses a variety of complex tasks that primarily include, but are not limited to, financial planning, budget oversight, oversight of data and analytics tools, and oversight of CSN’s Inclusive Access course material program. The Assistant Director will work closely with the Director of Auxiliary Services on financial management and fiduciary responsibilities for all Auxiliary accounts, contracts, self-supporting accounts, and state appropriated funds. The Assistant Director will engage in ongoing budgetary strategies, including assessment and projections, and will oversee planning and development for all data and assessment. Compilation and delivery of complex reports related to data and financial management to college leadership is expected.
All but one of the functions assigned to Auxiliary Services are self-supporting or revenue generating, and thus constant interaction, review, and intervention is required to ensure operational efficiency, performance by third party contractors, accurate billing, proper accounting, and addressing vendor concerns and issues.
