The School of Dental Medicine is composed of ten administrative offices and four academic departments. The Administrative units include the Offices of the Dean, Vice Dean, Associate Dean for Student Affairs, Associate Dean for Research, Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs, Associate Dean for Extramural Clinical Practices, Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, Assistant Dean for Dental Education and Informatics, Assistant Dean for Academic Success and the Assistant Dean for Business Operations and Financial Affairs.

The four academic departments are Surgical Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, General Dentistry and Foundational Sciences.

Included in the mission of the School of Dental Medicine is to educate dental care providers (both dental students and dental residents) and to address the oral health care needs of the rural population of North Carolina. The School of Dental Medicine meets these missions by operating dental clinics that provide both educational experiences for the dental students and residents and provides dental care to the residents of North Carolina.

These clinics occur in both Ross Hall in Greenville, North Carolina, as well as Community Service-Learning Centers located throughout North Carolina. To operate these clinics, appropriate dental auxiliaries and clinical staff are needed.

The School of Dental Medicine is an approximately $49 million enterprise, including state, auxiliary, research and foundation funds, that educates future dental leaders and provides oral healthcare to the citizens in North Carolina. The SoDM has the largest footprint of any ECU college/school across the state and provides oral healthcare in multiple locations, including Ross Hall, ECU Health, Ahoskie, Elizabeth City, Bolivia, Lillington, Spruce Pine, Sylva, Lumberton, Davidson County, Hyde County, Bertie County and Jones County.

The SoDM provides care for more than 80,000 patient visits per year across these multiple locations. The SoDM also graduates over 50 Doctors of Dental Medicine each year along with approximately 32 residents.

The SoDM is composed of over 375 faculty and staff that support the educational, clinical, research and service mission of the school. This is a complex organization to support from a personnel, budget, patient billing and facility perspective. These efforts are led by the Assistant Dean of Business Operations and Financial Affairs. The Senior Director of Administration and Budget will provide support to the Assistant Dean in aligning academic, clinical, and research resources with SoDM's mission of education, patient care, research, and community service.

This position oversees budget and financial management, facilities and space planning, workforce planning, and related compliance, ensuring that resources are managed strategically, efficiently, and in support of institutional goals.

This position will provide oversight to the personnel and budget matters at the SoDM and carry forward the strategic initiatives on behalf of the Dean and Assistant Dean. Many personnel actions impact budget, requiring the two areas to be closely aligned and working in conjunction with each other. The Senior Director will serve as the SoDM liaison to the Department for People Operations, Success, and Opportunity.

The Senior Director will work closely with the Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs and Associate Dean for Extramural Clinical Practices on special projects related to budget and personnel matters that directly impact the clinical areas. As such, this position will be focused on recruitment and retention in the clinical areas and monitoring salary changes in the labor market. With the eight satellite offices across the state of North Carolina, recruiting and retaining qualified faculty and staff is a challenge.
