About the role

A leading educational institution in Missouri is seeking an experienced Director of Athletics to provide strategic leadership to its intercollegiate athletics programs. The successful candidate will lead a team of approximately 85 coaches and staff, ensuring compliance, community engagement, and enhanced student-athlete experiences. Applicants should hold a Bachelor's degree and have a minimum of five years in senior leadership roles, preferably in NAIA athletics, with proven skills in fundraising and strategic planning. A competitive salary and comprehensive benefits are offered.

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.
