ABOUT THE POSITION

The Chicago School seeks a Director of Business Operations who will play a crucial role in ensuring efficient operation and financial management of assigned units. Reporting to the Associate Vice President of Business Operations, the Director will provide strategic leadership to drive fiscal integrity across the University.

In this role, you will manage business operations, establish financial controls and procedures, and provide training and support to stakeholders.

This position offers a unique opportunity for you to play a pivotal role in shaping the financial health and operational success of The Chicago School. Your strategic leadership and fiscal management will be instrumental in delivering exceptional services and resources, working closely with campus leadership and stakeholders.

This is a fully remote position, offering the flexibility to work from anywhere in the United States. While occasional travel to our campuses in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and Washington, D.C. may be required for important meetings, events, or training sessions, it is expected to be infrequent, with advanced notice provided.

We enroll over 6,000 students across 40+ academic programs culminating in a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree or a professional certificate, and our unique approach to impact-focused education has made us a leading nonprofit university for over 40 years.

The University is building the Illinois College of Osteopathic Medicine, or the IllinoisCOM (applicant statusseeking accreditation), anticipated to open for its first class of students in the Fall 2026 semester with a mission to train exceptional physicians to leverage the interconnection of physical and mental health to provide compassionate, patient-centered care of the highest quality.

As an employee at The Chicago School, you can become a member of an inclusive community committed to excellence. At The Chicago School, we celebrate individuals of all backgrounds and identities for who they are and what they can contribute. We take pride in hiring and retaining the most dynamic, talented, and passionate professionals who will help us continue to innovate for decades to come.
