St. Mary’s, Maryland

St. Mary’s College of Maryland (SMCM or the College) seeks
a collaborative,
strategic, and operationally astute leader to serve as the Assistant Vice President of Facilities and Planning (AVP-FP).
Under new
institutional leadership and the launch of the College’s 2026-2029 Strategic Plan, the next AVP-FP will play a key role in
shaping the future of a small close-knit and well-regarded institution. They will have the opportunity to lead comprehensive master planning
and the strategic development and operations of its physical facilities at a time of enrollment growth and new investments.

Established in 1840, St. Mary’s College of Maryland is ranked no. 5 among public
liberal arts colleges in the nation by US News & World Report behind only the four U.S. military academies making it
the highest-ranked civilian public liberal arts college in the United States.
Designated by state statute as Maryland’s public honors
college in 1992, the College was the first standalone public honors college in the
nation. St. Mary’s College of Maryland adopted the brand
identity of the National Public Honors College to clearly and confidently
communicate what has always made the College distinctive: its
rigorous liberal arts and sciences education, vibrant waterfront campus, and
commitment to excellence, integrity, and social responsibility.
With a diverse and engaged community, SMCM offers transformative,
experiential learning that prepares students to lead with purpose and
thrive in an increasingly complex world. SMCM serves more than 1,600
students and employs 186 full- and part-time faculty, and 335 full- and
part-time staff.

Reporting to the Vice President for Business and Finance and Chief Financial
Officer (VPBF/CFO), the AVP-FP will
join the College at a pivotal moment of growth and renewal. The College offers a rare opportunity to
steward a nationally recognized
historic waterfront campus where deferred maintenance remains relatively low and significant capital
investments are already underway.

The AVP-FP will provide campus
leadership for facilities planning, management of architectural and engineering services, construction
management and facilities maintenance
services to the College. In this capacity, the AVP-FP will interact with various College departments,
vice presidents, senior
administration, Trustees, State agencies, design professionals, contractors, and the general public. Strategic
thinking and operational
expertise will be essential. The AVP-FP will research and make recommendations that will determine key priorities
and will navigate complex
stakeholder environments with diplomacy, credibility, and sound judgment.

To be successful in this
position, the AVP-FP will address the following opportunities and challenges:

• Steward the College’s next chapter of campus
  master planning and capital project development
• Serve
  as a strategic advisor, operational leader, and collaborative campus
  partner
• Lead, recruit, and retain a talented
  team.
