Position Overview
Employment Category: full-time exempt position
Reports to: Chief Technology Officer
The Coordinator of Student and Community Records (CSCR) reports to the school’s Chief Technology Officer, while also working in close partnership with the school’s Dean of Academics. The CSCR serves as the central architect and defender of our constituent data pipeline, from the Admissions office, through current Student Records, and finally to the school’s alumni records. In their work with current Kents Hill students, the CSCR also serves as the primary architect of the master academic schedule, and the individual student schedules within it. As they first occupy the role, the CSCR will also work to bring organization and integrity to the school’s existing academic records, both physical and digital. In the future, the hope is that the CSCR will bring this same organizational approach to the school’s many other community records and archival materials, including the school’s rich archive of print and physical objects. Overall, the CSCR will work to bring a systems approach that allows for students to maximize their academic experience, for the school to provide transparency and organization to that experience, and for the school to understand and capitalize on the breadth of its organizational resources.
