This position serves as a key operational and programmatic partner within the Office of Faculty Affairs and is responsible for supporting and coordinating core faculty affairs functions across the School of Medicine. Working closely with the Senior Director and Senior Program Manager, this role ensures the accurate, efficient, and timely execution of faculty appointments, promotions, evaluations, endowments, credentialing, committee operations, and faculty development programs.
