Lead the Next Era of Dustdevil Athletics.
Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) invites nominations and applications for the position of Director of Athletics.
As TAMIU approaches the 25-year milestone of Dustdevil Athletics, the University seeks an energetic, relationship-driven, and visionary leader to build upon a strong foundation and guide the program into its next chapter of competitive excellence. This is an opportunity to shape the future of a growing NCAA Division II athletics program while helping strengthen institutional pride, student success, and community engagement throughout one of the nation's most dynamic border regions.
Reporting directly to the President, the Director of Athletics serves as the University's chief athletics administrator and provides strategic leadership for every aspect of the athletics enterprise. The successful candidate will oversee 13 NCAA Division II intercollegiate sports while fostering competitive success, ensuring compliance, supporting student-athlete achievement, strengthening external partnerships, and advancing the University's visibility throughout South Texas and beyond.
This position offers far more than the opportunity to manage an athletics department. It is an opportunity to build a culture.
The next Director will inherit a program with momentum, a growing enrollment base, an engaged campus community, and strong support from University leadership. With continued institutional investment and the strength of the Texas A&M University System behind it, TAMIU Athletics is positioned for meaningful growth in competitive success, fundraising, facilities, community engagement, and national visibility.
The University is seeking a leader who can unite coaches, student-athletes, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, and community partners around a shared vision for excellence. Success in this role will require strategic thinking, operational leadership, relationship building, and an unwavering commitment to the holistic development of student-athletes. The next Director will be expected to elevate competitiveness, expand community partnerships, strengthen fundraising efforts, enhance the student-athlete experience, and position Dustdevil Athletics as a source of pride for both the University and the Laredo community.
Located in Laredo, one of the fastest-growing international trade corridors in North America, Texas A&M International University offers an exceptional opportunity to lead within a vibrant, multicultural community while serving one of the nation's premier Hispanic-Serving Institutions. With more than 9,000 students representing 38 countries and 28 states, TAMIU combines the opportunities of a rapidly growing university with the resources, stability, and reputation of the Texas A&M University System.
For leaders who are energized by building programs, investing in student-athletes, engaging communities, and creating lasting institutional impact, few opportunities offer the combination of momentum, visibility, and long-term potential found at Texas A&M International University.
