This position has the opportunity to be based at either of our campuses located in Fort Collins, CO (Larimer Campus), Longmont, CO (Boulder County Campus), or Westminster, CO (Westminster Campus).

Please select your campus(es) of interest in the application.

Who We Are

With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We’re looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.

Who You Are

The Director of Content Strategy & Executive Communications plays a critical role in advancing FRCC’s mission and shaping the future of the college. This role is both highly strategic and deeply creative, responsible for telling the FRCC story in ways that inspire, inform, and connect faculty, staff, students, and community partners.

As the college’s lead creative writer for executive-level communications, the director ensures that the President’s and EVP & CCO’s voices reflect the values, vision, and priorities of FRCC. With presidential-level writing skills, the director translates complex institutional priorities into clear, compelling, and forward-looking communications that motivate action and embed the college’s strategic plan into everything we do.

Reporting to the Executive Vice President & Chief Communications Officer, the director is an intuitive and adaptive communicator, skilled at pivoting quickly, juggling multiple priorities, and writing for diverse audiences while maintaining the highest standards of clarity, creativity, and impact. This is a dynamic opportunity for a communications leader eager to shape the future of higher education through powerful storytelling.

This position will have the opportunity to work remotely occasionally but will require a strong on campus presence to provide leadership and support across all three Front Range Community College campuses. Occasional nights and weekends will be required to support college, division, and department efforts.
