About Campus

Campus is on a mission to accelerate the talent of tomorrow and reimagine what college can (and should) be. The problem is clear: college costs have skyrocketed, but outcomes haven’t. Traditional college hasn’t kept up with the aspirations of today’s students—and they can’t afford to wait.

At Campus, we’ve built a two-year, accredited college where students learn from top professors at universities like Princeton, Stanford, and Howard, in live, online classes. Our students graduate with in-demand business and AI skills—ready to launch their careers or transfer to top four-year universities. Our unique approach is grounded in a pioneering technology platform and a heavily-researched student success model that offers students dedicated advisors and on-demand tutoring and coaching. We were also named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024.

We’re backed by an exceptional investor team that believes deeply in our vision for the future of education, including General Catalyst, Founders Fund, Bloomberg Beta, 8VC, Rethink Education, Sam Altman, Jason Citron, Shaquille O’Neal, and others.

The world has changed. Higher ed needs to catch up, and we’re leading the way - come join us!

About the role

We are looking for a Director of Student Operations to support and scale critical operational areas at Campus. In the next year, your primary focus will be Financial Aid and Student Accounts, ensuring the team has the right systems, processes, and reporting in place to run smoothly. Over time, this role may expand to other operational areas as Campus grows.

Reporting to the VP of Operations, you’ll work closely with the FA and Student Accounts team leads, helping to optimize day-to-day operations, solve bottlenecks, and design scalable processes that improve both the student and staff experience.

This is not a “keep the lights on” role. We’re looking for a builder — someone who can dig into workflows, spot inefficiencies, and create technology-enabled solutions that raise the bar.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Partner with the Financial Aid and Student Accounts leaders to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.

• Serve as a strategic advisor to the VP of Ops on operational risks, opportunities, and resource planning.

• Support critical processes such as aid applications, disbursements, billing, refunds, and payment plans — ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance.

• Improve workflows and design scalable processes that increase efficiency and quality.

• Create and maintain SOPs that keep cross-functional teams (Admissions, Registrar, Student Success, Financial Aid, Product, etc.) aligned and consistent in how student-facing processes are executed.

• Partner with Product/Eng to roll out tech solutions that streamline operations and improve the student experience.

• Establish performance metrics and dashboards to monitor progress, identify issues early, and continuously improve service.

• Flex into new operational areas over time as Campus continues to scale.
  

We’re excited about you because…

• 8+ years of progressive operations leadership experience, with a track record of improving or building processes in complex organizations.

• Strong people management skills with the ability to coach, mentor, and inspire high-performing teams.

• Exceptional problem-solving and analytical skills, with a bias toward action and measurable results.

• Experience implementing technology-driven process improvements.

• Strong project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree a plus.

What you’ll get:

• A compensation package that includes a base salary $140,000 - $170,000 + equity grant

  • Actual compensation within the pay range will be decided based on factors including, but not limited to, skills, prior relevant experience, and specific work location. For roles that are available to be filled remotely, base salary will be localized.

• Medical Insurance + free Dental and Vision Insurance

• 401(k) match

• Fertility benefits via Carrot

• Flexible Time Away + paid holidays

• In-office lunches for our NY Office (did we mention, we’re dog friendly? 🐶)

• Flexible working hours & a hybrid work schedule (Mon & Fri remote; Tues-Thurs in-office)

• Social events - happy hours, birthday celebrations, holiday parties, & more!

• Opportunity to make an impact – you’ll be an integral player in bringing our vision to life
