The Manager of Enrollment and Special Projects serves as a member of the Master of Science in Anesthesia (MSA) program's administrative leadership team and is responsible for leading the program's print and digital student recruitment efforts, supporting admissions activities, and advancing enrollment goals across the national MSA program network. The network currently consists of the primary campus in Cleveland, Ohio, and program location campuses in Austin, TX (including Lubbock and Dallas sites), Houston, Texas, and Washington, D.C., with the potential for future expansion to additional locations.

The manager works with University Marketing and Communications (UMC) to detail distinctive program strengths and identify promising audiences for print and digital outreach. Once prospective candidates directly request more program information, the manager serves as a primary point of contact for answering questions, explaining the admissions process and otherwise inspiring candidates to apply and, if accepted, to enroll.

The manager serves as the program's marketing liaison and communications lead by developing and managing digital content - including the website, newsletter, and social media platforms - to enhance the program's brand and engage prospective students. In collaboration with UMC and Enrollment Management, the manager ensures consistent messaging across recruitment and marketing initiatives. This position coordinates the procurement and distribution of promotional materials for the MSA program network, manages webinars, and oversees the recruitment budget.

During the Director of Admissions Operations' absence, the manager will assume the director's responsibilities and will handle in person recruitment and webinar presentations.

The manager participates in strategic discussions regarding the program's short- and longer-term challenges and opportunities and executes recruitment-related initiatives that the team develops to address both. This individual also works with administrative team members to establish and realize annual application and enrollment targets (quantitative and qualitative) for each campus and the network as a whole. In addition, the manager identifies, proposes and then manages special projects that the team endorses as valuable to advancing key network initiatives and goals.

• As a member of the administrative leadership team, participate actively in discussions of emergent strategic issues as well as longer-term plans for the program's ongoing growth and development. Engage in more tactical conversations involving informational updates and decisions related to execution of program-related activities. Provide colleagues data, insights and recommendations to inform print and digital recruitment strategies and move prospective students from expressing interest in the program, to applying to the program, and then, if admitted, enrolling in the program.
