Job Description:

ASA's mission is to inspire creative thinkers and leaders through providing an innovative concentration in college preparation informed by the performing arts.

The Director of Operations & Campus Services is a strategic member of the Senior Leadership Team responsible for ensuring the school operates safely, efficiently, and effectively each day. This leader oversees all aspects of campus operations, facilities management, safety and security, operational systems, vendor management, regulatory compliance, campus logistics, and business services that support the daily operation of the school.

The Director develops and implements systems that create an exceptional environment for teaching, learning, and artistic excellence. This position combines strategic leadership with hands-on operational oversight and serves as the primary operational leader responsible for campus readiness, facilities, safety, substitute coordination, vendor management, and continuous improvement.
