Associate Chair, Luxury and Brand Management
1 week ago
As the Associate Chair of Luxury and Brand Management, you will play a pivotal role in leading a team of faculty and staff. Your contributions will be instrumental in creating and maintaining the department's high-quality reputation through collaboration on curriculum, assessment activity, and policy/procedure development and implementation. You will foster a positively oriented university environment, contributing significantly to the fulfillment of the university mission and department goals. You will also prepare ad hoc reports related to the department, monitor key departmental data to achieve maximum efficiency, and serve as the department's front-line ambassador for promotions.
You will oversee the department's academic scheduling in collaboration with academic services to ensure that courses are assigned to appropriate faculty members. Responsibilities will include coordinating departmental teaching resources and evaluating faculty members through classroom observations, individual meetings, and written evaluations that include recommendations to the dean/associate dean/chair. Additionally, you will teach classes as assigned by academic services and human resources and by the number of contact hours listed in the employment agreement. If needed, you may teach during the summer quarter.
In this position, you will support hiring new faculty and staff through your active participation in recruitment trips, interviews, and presentations. Your adherence to the university’s hiring policies and procedures, along with your leadership in the implementation of the SCAD Faculty and Staff Handbook, will ensure team members are constantly reviewing the curriculum for quality and currency, and that they adhere to educational outcomes, statements, assessment, and accreditation activities. You will also coordinate efforts with faculty in the collection of student work for assessment and accreditation needs to showcase program outcomes.
Among other duties, you will forge and maintain partnerships with professional and academic organizations. You will make decisions on student academic matters – such as course substitutions and exemptions, applications for independent study or internships, and waiver of prerequisites – assist in student recruitment, and review graduate applications to ensure consistency and timeliness in the review process. Your responsibilities include collaborating with the office for career and alumni success (CAS) to assist with student internships and career opportunities, coordinating the submission of student work to competitions and awards, and overseeing the departmental budget (i.e., travel requests and purchase approvals).
The successful candidate will maintain a visible onsite presence; guide the department's work; and support students, faculty, and staff. The candidate should be able to implement strategic visions through measurable actions; demonstrate a commitment to teaching, learning, and educational excellence; and provide evidence of success in creative and collaborative endeavors. The candidate should be an innovative and energetic leadership with a dedication to upholding personal and professional integrity.
Collaboration, interpersonal communication, and problem-solving skills are essential to the candidate's success in this position, along with excellent organization, attention to detail, and an exceptional work ethic. The candidate should anticipate trends to recommend strategies for implementing them into academic programs and be able to utilize good judgment when resolving faculty, staff, or student issues. The knowledge to define the department's needs on new faculty hires and the personnel judgment skills to make appropriate recommendations for hiring and reappointment is also required.
