Front Range Community College
Associate Director, Financial Aid Operations
Front Range Community College
General Summary: Who We Are With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities. Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek. One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body. The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive. FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We’re looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence. Who You Are As the Associate Director of Financial Aid Operations, you will play a critical leadership role in advancing the College’s strategic plan by ensuring equitable, timely, and compliant access to financial aid for all students. You will support student enrollment, persistence, and completion by leading operational excellence in financial aid processing, fund management, and systems management. Working collaboratively with Financial Aid leadership, you will ensure that financial aid policies, processes, and technologies remove barriers and expand opportunity. You will champion continuous improvement, data-informed decision-making, and staff development, helping to create a student-centered, inclusive financial aid experience that reflects FRCC’s commitment to equity, transparency, and student success. In this role, you will assist the Director Financial Aid in fiscal budgeting, funds management and quality assurance measures in all areas of federal, state and institutional aid. You will plan for the future and respond quickly to changes in federal, state or institutional policy. You will keep the staff engaged and apprised of current and changing processes. Ideally, you are analytical, well organized, self-motivated, with a process improvement mindset who thinks critically, solves problems and adapts well to change.  This position is based out of the Westminster campus and requires a strong on-campus presence. The position will have the opportunity to work remotely occasionally and will occasionally need to travel to all three FRCC campuses. Please note: You need to be a Colorado resident on your first day of employment. Also, Front Range Community College is an E-Verify employer. SALARY:  $65,579 - $68,858 annually The salary range reflects the minimum and maximum starting salary for the position.
