About The Position

The Flex Community Director (FCD) is an essential-services, live-in Officer of Administration position in University Housing. The role supports operational continuity and delivery of the residential student experience by stepping in to manage residential communities and supervise as needs arise, including during peer absences or unexpected vacancies. The FCD is not assigned to a specific residence hall or student worker group and may be regularly relocated among campus housing locations based on operational needs.

The position supports large-scale community procedures and activities, including under-enrollment responses, health and safety inspections, fire drills, community events, and hall council. The FCD exercises significant independent judgment, participates in the departmental on-call crisis response rotation, and is required to sign a live-in/live-on agreement. This is a fixed, permanent appointment. University Housing supports student success by cultivating inclusive communities and providing a robust living experience. The department values equity and inclusion, responsibility and integrity, innovation and learning, and safety and security. The FCD advances the university goal of fostering a flourishing community through growth, well-being, resilience, trust, belonging, connection, and a sense of purpose. The position is regular and ongoing, with a 1.0 FTE and an annual salary of $44,000–$47,500. Employment offers are contingent on successful completion of a background check.
