Executive Search
The executive search (academic and non-academic) process is aimed at attracting highly skilled or hard-to-recruit executive leadership positions. Executive leadership positions (for this purpose) are defined as roles within the following categories:
- College Dean and Vice-Provost
- Faculty Dean
- Vice-President (VP)
- Associate Vice-President (AVP)
- Executive Director (ED)
- Director
SEARCH PROCESS
Faculty Dean, College Dean and Vice-Provost searches are led by Faculty Relations (FR) in the Office of the Provost and Vice-President (Academic). These searches operate as a recruitment process that can be aided by an external search firm. For more information on the dean selection processes, visit the Selection and Review website.

Searches for the university’s Vice-Presidents follow the Vice-Presidential Search Procedure and these positions are initiated and selected by the President's Office.
Non-academic executive searches (e.g. Vice-President, Associate Vice-President, Executive Director, Director) are initiated by the hiring manager and operate as a recruitment process that can be managed by an external search firm on behalf of the university.
Reach out to your HR Partner to learn more or initiate a search.
