Who You Are
You are a senior communications strategist who has advised C-suite leaders through complexity: reputational crises, institutional pivots, enrollment emergencies, and market disruptions. You know how to walk into a room with a university president or provost and earn credibility in the first five minutes, not because you sold them something, but because you have lived the work they are navigating.
As Vice President, Strategic Communications, you will serve as a strategic advisor and growth driver for EducationDynamics, building and expanding partnerships with higher education institutions that need more than a vendor. They need a trusted counselor. Your deep fluency in crisis communications, executive messaging, and institutional reputation management will be the differentiator that opens doors and closes deals.
This is not a traditional sales role. It is a consultative practice built on expertise, relationships, and the ability to diagnose what an institution actually needs before they know how to ask for it.
Here Are The Abilities That We Seek Out

• Track activity and pipeline progression in Salesforce and meet annual revenue goals.
• Engage directly with presidents, provosts, CMOs, and enrollment leaders to identify strategic communications needs and position EducationDynamics as a mission-critical partner.
• Bring demonstrated crisis communications experience to client conversations, offering frameworks and perspective that reflect firsthand institutional knowledge.
• Develop and manage a pipeline of prospective institutional partners with a solutions-oriented approach grounded in real communications practice.
• Translate complex client challenges, including reputational risk, enrollment decline, brand confusion, and leadership transitions, into actionable scopes of work.
• Collaborate with internal teams across marketing, enrollment management, research, and consulting to architect client solutions that are integrated and achievable.
• Represent EducationDynamics at conferences, executive roundtables, and in one-on-one advisory settings with senior institutional leadership.
• Maintain a visible, credible presence in the higher education communications market, with a professional profile that generates inbound interest and referrals.
