About the role
President and Chief Executive Officer
Championing Student-Athlete Success and Elevating University Sport Across Atlantic Canada
Atlantic University Sport (AUS) is the governing body for interuniversity sport in Atlantic Canada, dedicated to enriching the academic experience of student-athletes through high-quality competition, education, and leadership opportunities. AUS plays a pivotal role in promoting equity and inclusion, delivering exceptional championship events, and strengthening the visibility of university sport regionally and nationally.
As AUS navigates a dynamic environment with financial constraints and governance complexity, significant opportunities exist to modernize operations, expand sponsorships, and position AUS as a national leader in student-athlete welfare and inclusivity. The Board of Directors is seeking a visionary and collaborative President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead AUS confidently into the future.
Reporting to the Board, the CEO will provide strategic leadership and operational oversight, ensuring AUS fulfills its mission while advancing its reputation and sustainability. Working closely with a talented team and member institutions, the CEO will focus on elevating AUS’s brand and visibility through innovative marketing and sponsorship growth, champion student-athlete welfare, mental health, and academic success, modernize governance structures and foster transparency and trust, drive forward-thinking strategies leveraging technology and data-driven decision-making, and strengthen relationships across U SPORTS, government, sponsors, and community partners.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience in sports management, preferably in university or collegiate athletics, combined with strong business and marketing acumen. They will have proven senior leadership experience with strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and financial management. A collaborative, authentic leadership style with exceptional relationship-building skills is essential, along with a commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA). Skilled communication abilities, including public speaking and media engagement, are also required. Bilingualism in English and French is a preferred skill.
A post-secondary degree is required; a Master’s degree is considered an asset. The successful candidate will be a principled, student-centric leader with the energy and vision to transform AUS for long-term success.
