About the role

The Pennsylvania State University seeks a Director for the University Ombuds Office to establish and run a central neutral resource for faculty, staff, and postdocs. You will design processes, coordinate unit ombuds, and serve as a liaison with university leadership across campuses. Responsibilities include leading training, policy navigation, outreach, data reporting, and office operations. A master’s degree and 5+ years in related work are required; hybrid work is possible.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
