Athletic Director
University of Wisconsin-Madison
| The University of Wisconsin–Madison (UW–Madison) invites applications and nominations for the position of Athletic Director (AD). The AD leads the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Athletic Department, a program with a sustained legacy of success on the playing field and in the classroom. In both men’s and women’s sports, UW Athletics has had success at both the Big Ten conference and national level. The program has operating revenue of approximately $130 million and an overall impact of $610 million on the state economy. In addition, UW has one of the most loyal fan and donor bases in all of intercollegiate athletics. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has a long tradition of providing student athletes with a great education, strong support, and a first-rate experience in their sport. Like all programs UW-Madison strives to provide an excellent record of athletic performance, but understands that this is only part of the holistic student-athlete experience. UW-Madison student-athletes in all sports consistently show strong academic performance and the athletic program has a strong academic support unit, part of Wisconsin’s notable Forward360 services. Student athletes also participate in Badgers Give Back, a program that matches them with volunteer activities in the community. UW-Madison prides itself on running an athletics program with a high degree of integrity on and off the field. UW-Madison’s student-athletes graduate at a rate higher than student-athletes nationwide. The athletic program also provides support to student-athletes in many ways, from mental health counseling to nutrition coaching to a guarantee to pay for degree completion for student-athletes who depart UW before earning an undergraduate degree. The Athletic Director leads the Athletic Department at the university. This position provides oversight for all aspects of the varsity athletic programs sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW), including matters pertaining to personnel, academic and athletic success, budget, facilities, operations, fundraising, compliance, and student-athlete welfare and development. The Athletic Director guides the overall direction of the athletic department in concert with the values and mission of the UW. The Athletic Director identifies, hires, supports, and evaluates head coaches in all 23 Badger varsity sports. The AD is responsible for fielding teams that sustain competitive success at commensurate or greater levels in comparison with Badger teams in recent history, and oversees the planning and operation of the unit’s approximately $130 million annual budget. The AD works collaboratively with senior-level UW campus administration, and develops and sustains consistent, transparent communication with the athletic board chair and faculty athletics representatives in the context of the UW’s shared governance infrastructure. We strongly encourage applications from candidates who foster and promote the values of diversity and inclusion.
