Message from the President/CEO

Join El Camino College as Our Next Vice President of Administrative Services

El Camino College is a well-established and highly regarded institution, known for its commitment to student-centered learning and operational excellence. As we continue to advance our mission, we are seeking a collaborative and visionary leader to serve as our next Vice President of Administrative Services/Assistant Superintendent.

This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to join a stable leadership team and make a lasting impact on the College’s infrastructure, operations, and resource management. The Vice President of Administrative Services plays a central role in ensuring that El Camino has the fiscal stewardship, facilities planning, information technology, and institutional support services necessary to sustain daily operations and advance long-term strategic goals.

Serving as a strategic partner, the Vice President will help align financial, technological, facilities, and business operations with the College’s mission, vision, and values. The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in resource management and operational leadership—or demonstrated potential and a record of success in these areas—along with a strong commitment to fostering a student-centered campus environment. 

This position helps create the conditions under which faculty, staff, and student services can excel. This role is about more than managing budgets and buildings—it’s about creating the environment where students, faculty, and staff can thrive.  Through collaborative leadership, thoughtful stewardship, care, and a focus on responsiveness, the Vice President will ensure that our campus administrative services remain safe, efficient, effective, student-focused and well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our students and employees.

We invite qualified candidates to explore this opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a college that values innovation, integrity, service, and a shared commitment to student and employee success.
