University of Florida - Director of Enrollment Marketing & Communications

The University of Florida (UF), the flagship university for the state of Florida, ranked No. 5 among the nation’s top public universities by U.S News and World Report, is accepting inquiries, nominations, and applications for the position of Director of Enrollment Marketing and Communications.

Reporting to the Assistant Vice President for Strategic Initiatives, the Director of Enrollment Marketing and Communications will be charged with contributing to the reputation and enrollment growth of the University of Florida undergraduate student body. The Director will work collaboratively with the university’s central marketing team to enhance recruitment and enrollment efforts. The Director is a key leader and manager responsible for creating and implementing vision and strategy to promote the comprehensive student experience that results in optimum enrollment outcomes. The Director manages a staff of four and oversees an operating budget of approximately $500k.

While the University of Florida is the state’s flagship university, it continues to rapidly transform as it pursues the overarching aspiration to be “a premier university that the state, nation, and world look to for leadership.” Located in Gainesville since 1906, UF has 16 colleges, a major academic health center, a championship-winning athletic program, a top-ranked undergraduate online program and, in keeping with its land-grant mission, one of the nation’s most comprehensive agriculture and natural resources programs. All are based at the University’s 2,000-acre campus, joining its historic red-brick core with advanced facilities and preserved natural areas and connecting to adjacent innovation, commercial, and residential districts.

UF has 61,000 students, 30,000 employees, 6,400 faculty members, an $8 billion annual budget and more than 140 mission-focused units across the state of Florida. It is the Sunshine State’s only member of the Association of American Universities comprising the nation’s 63 leading public and private research universities. More than 66,000 students applied as freshmen for the 2022-23 academic year — a new record.

Inquiries and nominations may be directed to WittKieffer consultants Lisa Meyer and Kati Sweaney at UFEnrollmentMarCom@wittkieffer.com. Candidates should provide a resume and a letter of application that addresses the responsibilities and requirements described in the Leadership Profile.
