Working closely with executive leadership, the position develops implementation plans, coordinates stakeholders across the institution, monitors milestones and deliverables, facilitates communication, identifies risks, and ensures departmental priorities remain aligned with executive direction and institutional objectives.

The Administrative Manager plans, coordinates, and leads a broad portfolio of strategic departmental initiatives, including executive office operations, strategic planning, faculty recruitment and onboarding, credentialing for priority faculty hires, faculty development and promotions, departmental committee administration, Grand Rounds administration and communications, annual report development, website and provider content management, and special initiatives supporting departmental growth and organizational effectiveness.

The position serves as the Department's primary liaison with Marketing and Public Relations, leading departmental branding initiatives, marketing campaigns, executive communications, and the development, editing, and distribution of the Department's monthly newsletter, leadership

announcements, and other communications that promote departmental accomplishments internally and externally.
