The annual salary the university reasonably expects to pay for this position is up to $285,000. Compensation will be commensurate with the final candidate's qualifications and experience. The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is seeking a strategic, creative, and collaborative leader to serve as the Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Communications and Marketing Officer (AVC/CCMO). As a key member of the Chancellor's leadership team, the AVC/CCMO will be responsible for developing and directing communications and marketing strategies for the University. As the Chancellor sets forth his strategic priorities, the AVC will be pivotal in advancing the Chancellor's goal of elevating UCR's brand and reputation on both national and international levels. Reporting to the Chancellor, the AVC/CCMO serves as the principal administrator responsible for advancing the brand, elevating the reputation, and enhancing widespread understanding of the mission of UCR. One of the Chancellor's strategic priorities involves increasing the visibility and understanding of UCR's mission and successes both nationally and internationally. The AVC/CCMO will develop and direct communication and marketing strategies, collaborate with communications staff and partners across different departments, and develop a roadmap to achieve this goal. Reporting to the AVC/CCMO is a highly collaborative team with a tremendous amount of dedication, expertise, and institutional knowledge. The AVC/CCMO will continue to foster a positive team culture as the unit works collaboratively with communication teams distributed across UCR's schools and departments. In addition to directly providing oversight of central units, the AVC/CCMO will provide guidance to communications and marketing teams throughout the university to ensure consistency and collaboration toward shared goals for the campus. As a member of the Chancellor's leadership team, the AVC/CCMO fosters a culture of collaboration. This role will work closely with the Chancellor, Associate Chancellor, and other key campus executives and stakeholders. Through consulting with and advising campus leaders, the AVC/CCMO will align the campus in creating a consistent voice in storytelling and messaging to advance and strengthen the University's engagement with diverse audiences - locally, nationally and globally - that include but are not limited to faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and local leaders in the Inland Empire and Southern California regions, peer institutions, students, and prospective students. Applicants must have current work authorization when accepting a UCR staff position. Currently, we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa for staff. As a University employee, you will be required to comply with all applicable University policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, as may be amended from time to time. Federal, state, or local government directives may impose additional requirements. UC Riverside is partnering with Berkeley Executive Search (BES) to support this recruitment.
