Provost & Chief Academic Officer

Endicott College seeks an accomplished, forward-thinking Provost and Chief Academic Officer to guide its academic strategy during a period of sustained institutional growth and innovation. Known for its required three-internship model, The Endicott Experiential Edge, the College serves approximately 3,100 traditional undergraduate students, 300 adult undergraduate students, and 1,500 graduate students across its schools and academic programs.

Supported by more than $80 million in academic infrastructure investments and $20 million in campus enhancements supporting the student experience since 2019, Endicott offers a strong foundation for continued academic advancement. The next Provost will help shape the future of teaching and learning by expanding high-demand undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs; supporting faculty scholarship; strengthening interdisciplinary pathways; and preparing the College to respond thoughtfully and strategically to an increasingly AI-driven world.

Endicott is a relational, close-knit global community that values accessibility, collaboration, and visible leadership. The successful candidate will be an approachable, accessible, and engaged leader who builds meaningful relationships across the College and embraces a "management by walking around" philosophy. The Provost will work closely with faculty leadership and the Endicott College Faculty Association (ECFA), fostering open communication, meaningful collaboration, and a strong commitment to shared governance.

Reporting directly to the President and as a key member of the President's Cabinet and the College's chief academic officer, the Provost will have a significant opportunity to influence Endicott's academic direction. The role calls for an agile and entrepreneurial leader who can bridge traditional academic affairs silos, elevate research and scholarship, and pursue strategic growth while preserving the mentor-rich, student-centered culture that defines the Endicott experience.

Located just 20 miles north of Boston on a picturesque 235-acre oceanfront campus, Endicott offers its next Provost the opportunity to join a vibrant and highly collaborative community. For an inspiring academic leader who deeply respects the College's history and traditions while eagerly embracing its future, the Endicott Provostship presents an extraordinary opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.

The Provost will lead Endicott's academic enterprise, strengthen its academic profile and operational capacity, expand institutional partnerships, and position the College for continued innovation and sustainable growth.
