The Opportunity:
Front Range Community College (FRCC), the largest community college in Colorado, invites applications and nominations for the position of Associate Vice President & Chief Marketing and Communications Officer.
This is a pivotal leadership opportunity to shape the voice, visibility, and market position of a dynamic, multi-campus institution serving nearly 28,000 students annually. FRCC is at a critical moment—expanding its impact in student success, workforce development, and community engagement, while advancing its commitment to equity and its designation as an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI).
The Associate Vice President & Chief Marketing and Communications Officer (AVP & CMCO) will play a central role in elevating FRCC’s brand, strengthening its reputation, and aligning communications and marketing as strategic drivers of institutional success.
This role will lead the transformation of FRCC’s marketing and communications into a strategic driver of enrollment, reputation, and community impact.
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.
Job Summary:
As the Associate Vice President & Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, you will report to the Vice President of Strategy & Innovation and join the newly formed Extended President’s Cabinet, providing executive leadership for the college’s integrated marketing, communications, and public affairs enterprise.
You will serve as a trusted advisor to the President and executive leadership, translating institutional priorities into clear, compelling, and cohesive messaging that advances the college’s mission and strategic goals. You will have enterprise-wide authority for brand and communications standards across all FRCC campuses and departments.
In this role, you will lead the evolution of a modern, data-informed, and highly collaborative marketing and communications function—one that is fully aligned with enrollment, student success, and community impact priorities.

You will facilitate key initiatives, drive effective communication, stakeholder engagement, and public relations efforts to support the college’s mission and strategic goals.
