The University Operations Department at MSU Denver delivers integrated, enterprise-wide services that ensure a safe, efficient, and high-performing campus environment in support of the University’s academic mission and student success. The department provides strategic and day-to-day oversight of the institution’s physical assets, enterprise assets, service operations, and risk posture, while partnering closely with the Auraria Campus to coordinate across shared campus spaces and campus services. Collectively, the University Operations Department integrates facilities stewardship, capital planning, and enterprise risk management into a cohesive framework that advances institutional effectiveness, enhances the campus experience, and positions MSU Denver for sustainable, long-term success.
The Director of Business Operations provides strategic and functional leadership across the university’s portfolio of enterprise assets and operational services including but not limited to hotel operations, event operations, lease operations, facility use management and insurance management. A central priority for this position will be establishing and scaling a new university-wide event management framework, building out the necessary policies, procedures and resources to ensure long-term success.
Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this role drives operational excellence, financial performance, and risk mitigation while serving as a key partner across administrative and academic units. Positioned at the intersection of enterprise management and risk management, the Director will bridge strategy with operational execution to maximize performance, align stakeholder interests, and oversee campus and asset use.
This is a director-level individual contributor role that works collaboratively within the Administration Branch and across the University. As the Event Management framework is established and launched, the role will expand to include oversight of the event management resources.
