The Assistant Vice Chancellor will oversee a team of five full-time employees with responsibilities in the following areas:

  • Developing and operationalizing communications strategies for dynamic, complex, time-sensitive strategic and business initiatives with high public visibility.
  • Developing, guiding, and operationalizing the overarching content strategy for OC-produced earned and owned content initiatives, using interdisciplinary forms of communications and storytelling.
  • Collaborating with colleagues within OC, including Public Affairs, Brand Strategy and Internal Communications, to develop, guide, and implement strategies for proactive earned, owned, social, and internal communications based on audience and desired outcomes.
  • Developing and leading a preemptive issues management system and a crisis management protocol that collaborates closely with Legal, Risk Management, and other UCSF units.
  • Cultivating productive relationships with a wide range of leaders, colleagues, and stakeholders across the enterprise.

The Assistant Vice Chancellor will provide senior-level staff support to the Vice Chancellor as needs require and serve as his deputy, ensuring seamless OC leadership representation with the office's stakeholders and partners.

The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of developing and leading communications strategies in complex and matrixed organizations, with a proven ability to collaborate successfully with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.
