Hybrid Structure

St. Bonaventure University defines "hybrid" for this role as flexibility in residence location combined with an expectation of regular, predictable, and significant physical presence on campus and in key donor markets. This is not a fully remote position.
The Vice President is expected to be campus-anchored, team focused, and physically present for Board meetings, cabinet leadership, major donor engagement, and signature university events.
As a general, non-binding guideline, a hybrid arrangement would likely involve multiple days per week on campus or consistent weeks each month, with the specific cadence determined collaboratively based on institutional needs and subject to ongoing review.
