Assistant Director of MSW Education - Operations Program Manager
About The Position
The Assistant Director of MSW Education reports to the Associate Dean for MSW Education and serves in a backend, systems-focused role designed to support the Associate Dean through program coordination, infrastructure development, operational design, and the development of new initiatives for the MSW program. This position plays a central role in the implementation, coordination, and continuous improvement of the MSW academic program and integrates program management, operational oversight, and advanced data analysis to support effective academic administration and strategic decision-making. While the Associate Dean provides executive leadership and direction for MSW Education, the Assistant Director, in collaboration with the Associate Dean, is responsible for translating that direction into coordinated systems, structured processes, analytic insights, and executable plans.

The Assistant Director serves as the operational program manager and analytical lead for the MSW Program, overseeing program infrastructure, managing key academic processes, and developing the data systems necessary to inform strategic and operational decisions. This role combines program coordination with applied research and data science to ensure that MSW Education operates with clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes. The Assistant Director works in collaboration with the Associate Dean to synthesize information from multiple sources, identify trends and gaps, and develop actionable recommendations that will guide the Associate Dean in program planning and improvement.
