If you want to lead meaningful work that will impact generations and work in a public university operating on a scale, this is your opportunity. You will have the scope to influence architecture, team design, platform strategy, and student experience \- while working with people who believe that access, innovation, and institutional impact should be engineered into the system, not merely described in a strategic plan. If this sounds like your kind of difficult, meaningful work, we would like to meet you. **Position Summary** We are seeking a mission\-driven technology leader to build the systems foundation for the university's next Enrollment and Admissions chapter. The Senior Director will lead the enterprise systems, data, cloud, integration, and application capabilities that support Academic Enterprise's student\-facing products.

It is an opportunity to shape public higher education technology at scale, in an environment where ASU's charter and commitment to student impact are central to the work. **The Opportunity** ASU is modernizing core systems while creating the architecture and data foundation required for intelligent, increasingly agentic experiences. The successful leader will connect enterprise systems, digital applications, data, cloud services, security, and AI enablement into a coherent platform strategy \- improving reliability today while creating room for meaningful innovation tomorrow. This role is not a narrow platform administration position or an individual\-contributor architect role with a management title attached. It is for a leader who can engage as a peer in serious architecture discussions, translate complexity for executive audiences, and create a team that delivers without depending on heroics. **Essential Duties:** * A multidisciplinary team responsible for Technology and Data Solutions engineering, integration, data, cloud, application delivery, and technical operations. * A digital portfolio that includes PeopleSoft, Oracle Student Financial Aid, App Extender, Hyland OnBase, Panda Raptor, web applications, APIs and middleware, data platforms, and cloud services.
