  • Audience Segmentation: Leverage Configurable Joins and custom fields to build complex population segments, ensuring highly targeted messaging based on student type, academic interest, and influencer relationship.
  • Dynamic and Portal Experiences: Develop, maintain, and test custom Slate Portals and dynamic content blocks that serve personalized enrollment checklist steps and engagement opportunities to both students and their influencers.
  • Protocol Quality Assurance: Implement rigorous testing protocols for all communication campaigns, tracking metrics like bounce rates, opt-outs, and click-through rates to ensure message deliverability and compliance (CAN-SPAM, TCPA).

3. CAS, SIS Integration, Operations and Data Integrity (20%)
  • Multi-System Integration: Oversee, audit, and optimize data integrations across the enrollment ecosystem, specifically managing data routing among CAS platforms, external vendors, Slate, and Ellucian Colleague.
  • CAS Data Mapping: Manage the ingestion of external CAS applications, transcripts, and test scores into Slate, maintaining accurate custom source formats and mapping layouts.
  • Ellucian Colleague Synchronization: Maintain the primary data bridge to the institutional SIS (Colleague) for prompt student ID generation, bio-demographic updates, and matriculation data processing.
  • Process Engineering: Evaluate the enrollment funnel continuously to eliminate operational bottlenecks, reduce application turnaround times, and scale processing capabilities.
  • Data Hygiene and Security: Supervise automated data-scrubbing routines, duplicate record management, address validation, and standard compliance rules to ensure a single, accurate source of truth in Slate and Colleague.
  • Data Governance: Participate in ongoing institutional data governance and data platform development in collaboration with Information Technology Services and Institutional Effectiveness teams.
  • Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, train, evaluate, and professionalize a team of operations coordinators, data specialists, and application processing staff.

4. Analytics and Reporting (15%)
  • Executive Insights: Provide the Vice President for Enrollment Strategy with real-time data, predictive funnel tracking, and volume forecasting to inform institutional strategy using Slate and other institutional data and reporting systems.
  • Strategic Reporting: Build, maintain, and analyze queries and visual dashboards to track recruitment KPIs, application volume, communication engagement, and conversion metrics.

5. Training and Cross-Campus Collaboration (10%)
