ERP Architect

As a Principal Workday professional at SCU, you will serve as the primary architect and technical lead for the university’s core ERP ecosystem, balancing high-level system design with hands-on execution. Your role centers on building and maintaining complex integrations using tools like Workday Studio and EIBs, designing a robust security framework that aligns with university data policies, and spearheading custom module development to meet specific financial and functional requirements. Beyond the technical "how-to," you are expected to provide strategic project leadership—mentoring junior staff, navigating biannual feature releases, and collaborating with the broader Workday Community to ensure SCU remains at the forefront of enterprise technology.

Director, Career Development & Campus Integration

As the Director of Career Development & Campus Integration, you will serve as a high-level strategist and people leader tasked with transforming the Career Center from a service office into an integrated, university-wide ecosystem. Reporting to the Executive Director, you will oversee the vision and daily operations of the career development team, managing a diverse portfolio of technology, programs, and "life design" initiatives that drive student social and economic mobility. Your role is heavily focused on campus-wide integration, requiring you to build deep partnerships with faculty and administrators across undergraduate and graduate schools (including Engineering, Theology, and Education) to embed career readiness into the academic experience. Ultimately, you act as a key deputy for the Executive Director, balancing administrative management and staff mentorship with the ability to provide expert-level vocational discernment and career advising.

Gardener

As part of the University Operations team, this role is dedicated to maintaining a premier campus environment through expert landscaping and groundsmanship. You will be responsible for the health and aesthetic of SCU’s outdoor spaces—identifying plant diseases, applying fertilizers, and managing California-native flora—while safely operating a wide range of heavy power equipment and manual irrigation systems. Beyond horticulture, the position requires a high level of versatility, involving everything from complex landscape installations and soil amendments to logistical support for university events, such as furniture setups and moves. Success in this role is defined by a "customer-first" mindset, ensuring that the campus remains clean, safe, and visually exceptional for students, faculty, and visitors alike.
