Position Information

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Strategic Programs & Administrative Lead of Holistic Health & Wellness provides advanced administrative and project support to the Senior Leadership Team, including the Executive Director, the Senior Director of Mental Health, and the Student Health Services (SHS) Chief Medical Officer. Operating as the department’s operational "command center" within a fast-paced and highly confidential environment, this role serves as a vital liaison across clinical and mental health divisions to ensure leadership effectiveness through complex calendaring and high-level coordination. The position bridges the gap between technical operations and community engagement by synthesizing data into high-impact presentations, maintaining departmental policies, and designing creative communications—such as flyers and announcements to promote holistic health initiatives and events to the UCR campus community. This role may require hours outside the standard Monday through Friday 8AM - 5PM work hours based on operational need. This position will work out of the Student Health & Counseling Center. The full salary range for the Strategic Programs & Administrative Lead is $73,600.00 - $133,200.00 annually. However, the expected pay scale for this position is up to $103,400 annually. We base salary offers on various considerations, such as education, licensure and certifications, experience, and other business and organizational needs. Applicants must have current work authorization when accepting a UCR staff position. Currently, we are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa for staff. As a University employee, you will be required to comply with all applicable University policies and/or collective bargaining agreements, as may be amended from time to time. Federal, state, or local government directives may impose additional requirements.
