About the Job
Job Description

Welcome to Stanford’s Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation (“DAPER”), the premier intercollegiate athletics program in the country. With an unparalleled record of 134 NCAA team championships, we are the proud Home of Champions. Our success isn’t just measured in trophies; it’s reflected in the passion of our nearly 900 student-athletes competing across 36 intercollegiate varsity teams. It resonates in our unwavering support for the university’s physical education, recreation, and wellness initiatives. At Stanford, we don’t just embrace excellence; we define it. We don’t just nurture champions; we create them. Our actions are guided by the core tenets of DAPER culture, “The DAPER Way,” which are: Embrace Scholar Athleticism, Pursue and Revere Excellence, Lead with Courage, and Work Cohesively.
 
The Opportunity:
The primary focus of this role is to advance the core missions of both Stanford University and DAPER while also driving forward DAPER's strategic plan. The Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the DAPER will report directly to the Director of Athletics and be responsible for overseeing and managing the day-to-day operations of the department while fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all student-athletes, staff, coaches, and community members. The COO will work closely with the Director of Athletics to develop and implement strategies that enhance the athletic program's competitiveness while equally prioritizing and ensuring that all operations are efficient, effective, compliant with university policies and practices, consistent with budget expectations, and aligned with broader institutional values. The COO is a member of the DAPER Executive Team and will work closely with the Deputy Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Success, the Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator, and the Deputy Athletics Director for Sport Administration. Direct reports to the COO include the DAPER Chief Financial Officer, Executive Associate Athletics Director for External Relations, Senior Associate Athletics Director for Human Resources, and Stanford Golf Course General Manager.

At DAPER, we firmly believe that diverse teams make better decisions, foster innovation, and drive success for everyone involved. We celebrate differences in abilities, backgrounds, and perspectives, recognizing the rich tapestry that fuels our excellence. We are committed to fostering an environment of belonging where every voice is heard, valued, and respected. Your unique perspective is not just welcomed; it’s essential to our continued growth and success.

In this role, you will:

  • Acquire a profound comprehension of the distinctive culture of intercollegiate athletics at Stanford and its integration within the university's research and educational mission.
  • Offer strategic leadership and guidance to direct reports and DAPER staff and coaches, empowering them to accomplish the department's goals and objectives.
  • Continually update and refine the strategic roadmap to ensure alignment with DAPER's and broader institutional goals.
  • Develop measurement systems and accountability frameworks to track goal and strategy achievement. These systems should also provide data for course corrections as needed.
  • Develop and implement high-value initiatives leveraging available infrastructure and also drive new revenue opportunities.
  • Provide strategic leadership and oversee significant financial functions, operations, and activities, including budget planning and financial management of the department to ensure effective utilization of resources.
  • Work closely with the Marketing and Communications team to develop and implement marketing and communications strategies to promote the department's programs and events and support both DAPER and the University’s priorities.
  • Collaborate with the Chief Diversity Office to champion and lead initiatives that promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through these goals and objectives.
