Overview of Position

This position may be filled at either
Senior CRM (Slate) Administrator or the IT Director – Administrative Systems level, depending on the selected candidate’s experience,
leadership background, and scope of prior responsibility. Candidates hired at the Senior CRM Administrator will have a clearly defined path
to expanded responsibilities and progression to the Director role based on performance and institutional needs.

A little over one
year ago, TUJ adopted Slate, a CRM system designed specifically for higher education. Since then, we have rapidly developed and implemented
Slate to support student recruitment, admissions, and new student orientation and registration. We are now seeking a senior systems
professional who can continue to expand and develop Slate beyond admissions and new student onboarding. This role will work closely with the
existing CRM Administrator and lead Slate development initiatives including student success, retention, visa processes, scholarship
management, transfer credit evaluation, campus and program change processes, and other institution-wide workflows.

The ideal
candidates will have extensive, hands-on experience developing and managing Slate in a university environment, and advanced knowledge of
SQL, HTML, and CSS, Javascript as Slate integrates with multiple systems such as Banner and NetSuite. The ability to analyze complex
business requirements and translate them into efficient technical solutions is essential.

Management experience is a significant
asset that strengthens one’s pathway to future promotion to a director-level position (if hired as the Senior CRM Administrator
position).
