Candidates are expected to have experience in admissions, ideally at a college or university, a working understanding of databases and systems, a commitment to a diverse and inclusive community, and an ability to compellingly articulate the value of a Landmark College education to a wide range of constituents. An understanding of LD is highly desirable. Travel on behalf of the College and the ability to work weekends and after-hours are requirements. Strong communication and writing skills and demonstrated organizational abilities are expected.
