Make an impact at the heart of a growing business college. The Haile College of Business is looking for a detail-oriented, proactive Coordinator to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes and help our leadership team focus on what matters most — students, faculty, and community partnerships.

In this role, you’ll be the go-to person for the Dean and Associate Deans — managing operations, supporting faculty needs, coordinating events, and ensuring the College runs efficiently. Every day will look a little different, but you’ll always be right in the center of what makes the College work.

• Keep the Dean’s Office organized and moving — manage calendars, prepare materials, coordinate travel, and handle communications.
• Assist the Dean and Associate Deans with administrative elements in the Haile College of Business.
• Support faculty hiring, onboarding, and development, including immigration and HR processes.
• Plan and coordinate key College events — from advisory board meetings to donor receptions — in partnership with Marketing and Communications.
• Prepare reports and materials that support accreditation and other strategic initiatives.
• Act as a trusted point of contact for faculty, staff, students, and external partners.
• Track and manage ongoing projects to ensure follow-through and results.

• Bachelor’s degree and at least two years of administrative or office management experience (higher ed experience a plus, but not required).
• Excellent communication, organization, and multitasking skills.
• Tech-savvy with Microsoft Office and Adobe; experience with SAP/myNKU is helpful.
• A self-starter who enjoys problem-solving, managing details, and making things happen.

• A master’s degree in Business or Higher Education Administration.
• Experience supporting senior leaders or working in an academic setting.
• Familiarity with AACSB accreditation or faculty administration.

At NKU, you’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking community that values initiative and creativity. The Haile College of Business is growing — and this role gives you a front-row seat (and a real hand) in shaping that future.
