Reporting to the Associate Dean for Curriculum and Assessment, the Associate Director will serve as ODOC's primary point of contact for the systems that produce course offerings, track degree requirements, and advance new and revised curricular initiatives. This includes training and advising departmental staff, reviewing curricular updates and new course proposals, and leading the implementation of short- and long-term systems improvements in collaboration with the Office of the Registrar. The Associate Director oversees the curricular work of undergraduate program administrators in the University's more than 100 academic departments and minor/certificate programs, ensuring that new and revised undergraduate curricular materials are appropriately proposed, reviewed, and approved throughout the academic year.

In addition, the Associate Director will advance ongoing opportunities for process and project improvements, such as automating paper-based systems, streamlining course proposal processes, and identifying new efficiencies in cross-campus collaborations that concern course offerings and related systems. In addition to working closely with the Office of the Registrar, the Associate Director will be a critical link and valued thought-partner on ODOC's behalf with the Office of Information Technology and the Office of the Dean of the Faculty.
