Director of Mission Formation

This position supports the formation work of the Office of Mission Engagement by designing, coordinating, and facilitating programs that deepen understanding and integration of Loyola Marymount University’s educational, social, and intellectual traditions. The Director develops and leads initiatives that help faculty and staff connect their professional responsibilities to the university’s Jesuit and Marymount traditions, as well as to the broader values of Catholic higher education. The Director also serves as a campus resource and thought partner on Catholic social thought, helping to articulate and apply its principles to the university’s commitments to inclusion, belonging, equity, and justice as expressions of its mission.

Working collaboratively across academic and administrative units and under the direction of the Executive Director of the Office of Mission Engagement, the Director cultivates opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and professional development that integrate the values of Jesuit/Marymount education, humanist and liberal arts education, and Catholic social thought. Under new leadership and a recent restructuring, the university seeks to bring the work of equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice into closer alignment with LMU’s mission, Catholic identity, and Jesuit and Marymount educational traditions through the cross-divisional Mission Integration initiative. This position will assist in building the university community’s capacity for engaging in equity work within the field of mission and will collaborate with Mission Integration personnel across units to pursue these goals.
