The Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus is a pioneering research center in Ashburn, Virginia, where scientists pursue fundamental questions in the life sciences. Our integrated teams of biologists, computational scientists, and tool-builders innovate research practices and technologies to solve biology’s deepest mysteries. HHMI launched Janelia in 2006, establishing an intellectually enriching environment for scientists to do creative, collaborative, hands-on work. We share our methods, results, and tools with the scientific community.
Summary of Role
This is a role for someone who wants to run a physical, people-facing operation personally, not manage it from a dashboard. You lead by being visible on campus, known by residents and colleagues, and trusted by a small team to make good calls without needing everything spelled out.
Janelia Research Campus recruits some of the best scientific talent in the world. Housing and transportation are often the first things a new resident experiences. Campus Life makes that experience effortless, remarkable, and personal, and as Janelia grows, this team's work becomes more visible, not less.
You will direct Campus Life operations across housing, shuttle service, resident and community events, and the art and furniture that shape how campus feels. You will partner across Facilities, Campus Operations, and outside vendors to keep services running smoothly, and you will step in personally when a resident situation gets complicated.
You will also sit on the Campus Operations leadership team, bringing operational insight and analysis to strategic decisions, and represent Campus Life in cross-campus planning.

340+ residential units: reservations, resident agreements,
occupancy, and payroll deductions, and the systems that keep it all
running accurately. You partner with the cross-functional teams
housing depends on, and you step in personally on complex or
sensitive resident situations.
