What You’ll Be Doing
Sheridan is currently seeking to fill the position of Dean, FAST. Reporting to the Provost and Vice‑President Academic, the Dean, FAST, provides transformative, strategic and operational leadership, balancing and aligning the vision and strategic objectives of Sheridan with those of the Faculty.

The Dean is responsible for advancing excellence in teaching and learning, and for the development, delivery and ongoing quality review of innovative programs and initiatives within the portfolio. An advocate, visionary and inclusive leader, you will utilize a creative approach in marketing and branding to advance the world‑class reputation of the Faculty in ways that are responsive to the needs of Sheridan’s learners.

You will work to establish an inclusive, collaborative and supportive Faculty where students, staff and faculty members thrive in a dynamic and engaging learning environment, and one that is grounded in mutual respect, accountability and principled decision‑making. The Dean plays a collegial role with other leaders and promotes student success.

The Dean also develops and maintains partnerships with external constituencies (e.g. government agencies, professional societies, industry and other educational institutions) to continue to represent the interests and build the profile of Sheridan, the Faculty and its programs.

About You
You are an empathetic, innovative, inspirational leader who embraces and thrives in change. You are an open, transparent communicator who authentically listens and engages with the Sheridan community.

You have a proven track record of accomplishment in education and can motivate and influence stakeholders to work toward common goals. You bring an entrepreneurial spirit combined with a business mindset that will allow you to spot new opportunities to propel growth in the Faculty.

Your commitment to the principles of equity, diversity, inclusion and anti‑racism are demonstrated in your approach to engaging faculty and staff to create programs and services that inspire students to achieve great things inside and outside of Sheridan. You bring a global perspective to your work and interact effectively and respectfully with people of different backgrounds. You value interdisciplinary collaboration and foster the importance of growing applied research.

The ideal candidate will have a passion for education, a Master’s degree in a relevant discipline; however, a Ph.D. is preferred, and a proven track record of outstanding leadership experience within a post‑secondary institution is essential.
