<section><p class="heading jdMain">Job Description</p><p class="heading">Roles &amp; Responsibilities</p><div class="paragraph"><p>Position: Director, Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) Classification: Director Level Reports To: Vice President for Academic Affairs About The American International University American International University (AIU) is a private institution in Kuwait, founded in 2019, offering undergraduate programs in Engineering, Architecture and Design, Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Education, delivered in English on the American model of higher education. AIU serves a community of over 3,000 students and is executing the RISE Strategy 2.0, a five-year institutional transformation anchored in research development, WSCUC international accreditation, student success, and community engagement. Faculty excellence is one of AIU's greatest strategic assets and an essential enabler of every pillar of the RISE Strategy. Outstanding teaching, meaningful scholarship, effective service, academic leadership, and institutional innovation all depend upon attracting, supporting, developing, recognising, and retaining exceptional faculty. The Director of the Office of Faculty Affairs is responsible for creating an institutional environment in which faculty thrive throughout their academic careers, strengthening academic excellence, shared governance, leadership development, and institutional effectiveness while supporting AIU's ambitions for WSCUC accreditation and long-term academic distinction. For more information, visit: www.aiu.edu.kw Department Profile The Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) is AIU's institutional hub for faculty success, academic engagement, academic career development, shared governance, and institutional faculty excellence. Operating under the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Office serves all Schools, the Foundation Programme, and future graduate programmes, working collaboratively with more than 120 full-time faculty together with adjunct, visiting, and future clinical faculty. The Office is established as one of AIU's strategic academic support units under the RISE Strategy, with the Director serving as its founding leader responsible for developing the Office's policies, programmes, partnerships, operational culture, and long-term strategic direction. Working collaboratively with Human Resources, Deans, Department Chairs, the Centre for Teaching &amp; Learning, the Office of Graduate Studies, the Office of Research and Scholarly Activity, the Registrar, Quality Assurance, Student Affairs, Library Services, and other institutional units, the Director ensures that faculty-related academic matters are coordinated consistently across the University while maintaining a clear distinction from Human Resources' employment responsibilities. The Office complements but does not replace the responsibilities of Human Resources. Human Resources remains responsible for employment administration, contracts, payroll, benefits, immigration, and employee relations, while the Office of Faculty Affairs provides academic leadership, coordination, guidance, and support on matters relating to faculty success, academic development, governance, academic progression, recognition, and institutional effectiveness. The Office carries four interconnected institutional mandates: 1. Faculty Success &amp; Engagement Building an academic environment in which faculty are supported throughout every stage of their academic careers through mentoring, engagement, recognition, wellbeing, professional growth, leadership development, and institutional support. 2. Academic Career Development &amp; Recognition Supporting promotion, academic rank progression, leadership development, succession planning, recognition, awards, and continuous academic growth. 3. Academic Policies &amp; Shared Governance Promoting transparent governance, institutional consistency, academic integrity, faculty participation in decision-making, and continuous policy development. 4. Institutional Excellence &amp; Faculty Effectiveness Supporting institutional effectiveness, accreditation, academic quality, faculty engagement, strategic planning, and cross-functional collaboration in support of AIU's long-term academic mission. Scope of Work The Director of the Office of Faculty Affairs provides strategic and operational leadership across six interconnected institutional domains that collectively support faculty excellence, institutional effectiveness, academic quality, and shared governance. The Director serves as the University's principal academic administrator for faculty affairs, providing leadership in the development and implementation of faculty-related academic policies, career development initiatives, governance structures, recognition programmes, academic support services, and institutional planning. The Director is simultaneously a strategic advisor, policy leader, governance specialist, faculty advocate, organisational developer, and institutional partner. This is not a role focused on employment administration; rather, it is a leadership position responsible for creating an institutional environment in which faculty are supported, recognised, developed, and empowered to contribute fully to AIU's academic mission. The Director operates primarily as a strategic leader, advisor, facilitator, and institutional partner, working collaboratively with Human Resources and other University offices rather than duplicating their operational responsibilities. This position requires a leader capable of building relationships across the institution, promoting collaboration, supporting faculty success, and ensuring that faculty-related academic processes are fair, transparent, consistent, and aligned with AIU's strategic priorities. Key Responsibilities 1. Faculty Success and Academic Engagement Develop a comprehensive institutional strategy supporting faculty success throughout the academic career lifecycle. Establish and coordinate faculty mentoring programmes for new, early-career, international, and newly promoted faculty. Coordinate faculty orientation and academic transition activities in collaboration with Human Resources and the Centre for Teaching &amp; Learning. Promote interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty across schools. Develop programmes supporting faculty engagement and institutional belonging. Coordinate faculty networking events, retreats, academic forums, and engagement initiatives. Support faculty wellbeing through collaboration with relevant institutional offices. Facilitate communication between Academic Affairs and faculty. Serve as an accessible resource for faculty seeking guidance on academic policies and procedures.

Its purpose is not to find fault it is to give AIU's leadership and Board the confidence that the institution's operations, processes, and controls are functioning as intended and are fit for the purposes the RISE Strategy demands. Where they are not, the Director identifies the gap, quantifies the risk, and recommends practical, implementable improvements. Critically, AIU's internal audit function focuses on operational and process assurance not financial audit. Financial auditing is conducted by AIU's independently appointed external auditor. The Director of Internal Audit does not duplicate that work. Instead, this role covers the institutional territory that financial auditors do not: academic process integrity, HR and procurement process compliance, IT governance, student affairs operations, research grant management, and the operational evidence that WASC accreditation requires.</p><p><strong>Scope of Work</strong></p><p>The Director of Internal Audit provides independent, risk-based operational assurance across all institutional functions. Using a structured annual audit plan approved by the Board Audit &amp; Risk Committee, the Director examines whether AIU's processes, controls, and governance mechanisms are working as intended identifying risks, recommending improvements, and tracking implementation of corrective actions. The scope spans five operational domains:</p><ul><li><strong>Operational Process Audit:</strong> Systematic review of institutional workflows and operating procedures from student admissions to faculty evaluation assessing whether processes are efficient, consistently followed, and producing intended outcomes.</li><li><strong>Governance &amp; Compliance Audit:</strong> Assessment of whether AIU's governance structures, Board policies, and institutional policies are being implemented as written with particular focus on the policies required for WSCUC accreditation.</li><li><strong>Risk Management:</strong> Identification, assessment, and monitoring of institutional operational risks developing and maintaining AIU's risk register, advising the President and Board on emerging risks, and recommending mitigation measures.</li><li><strong>Academic &amp; Research Integrity Audit:</strong> Process-level review of academic operations curriculum delivery, assessment practices, research grant compliance, faculty performance documentation, and accreditation evidence management to confirm that stated practices are actual practices.</li><li><strong>Special Investigations &amp; Advisory:</strong> Conducting investigations into reported irregularities, process failures, or governance concerns and providing advisory support to institutional leaders on internal control design, policy development, and risk mitigation.</li></ul><p><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></p><p><strong>Audit Planning and Annual Audit Programme</strong></p><ul><li>Develop, maintain, and execute a risk-based Annual Audit Plan covering all significant institutional operational areas approved by the Board Audit &amp; Risk Committee each November before the academic year to which it applies</li><li>Prioritise audit engagements based on a formal, documented institutional risk assessment conducted annually ranking operational areas by likelihood and impact of material process failure or non-compliance</li><li>Ensure the audit programme addresses the operational evidence requirements of WSCUC accreditation.</li><li>Manage the audit calendar to ensure that all planned engagements are completed within the academic year and that findings are reported to relevant management before the next audit cycle begins</li><li>Review and update the audit plan during the year in response to significant changes in institutional priorities, identified risks, or Board direction</li></ul><p><strong>Operational and Process Audit Execution</strong></p><ul><li>Conduct structured operational audits of institutional processes from student application and enrolment through graduation, from faculty recruitment and evaluation through promotion, from budget request through expenditure approval assessing whether each process is documented, consistently applied, and producing intended outcomes</li><li>Examine procurement and vendor management processes to confirm that purchases are properly authorized, competitively tendered where required, and that contracts are managed in accordance with AIU policy and Kuwait procurement regulations</li><li>Review HR processes recruitment, contract management, performance evaluation, leave management to confirm consistent application across all departments and schools</li><li>Audit student affairs operations admissions decisions, academic standing determinations, disciplinary processes, grievance handling to confirm that stated policies are applied equitably and consistently</li><li>Review IT governance processes system access controls, data management, change management procedures in coordination with the CIO and providing an independent assurance layer over IT operational risk</li><li>Prepare clear, actionable audit reports for every engagement stating the scope, the evidence examined, the findings, the risk rating, and specific recommendations shared with the relevant Dean or VP before submission to the President and Board Audit &amp; Risk Committee</li></ul><p><strong>Governance and Policy Compliance</strong></p><ul><li>Assess whether AIU's Policies are being operationally implemented confirming that policy commitments are happening as the policies describe</li><li>Review the institution's compliance with Kuwait Labour Law, PUC regulatory requirements, and Kuwait data protection standards identifying any gaps between regulatory obligation and operational practice</li><li>Evaluate the effectiveness of AIU's shared governance structures confirming that the Faculty Council has genuine operational authority in academic matters, that its decisions are recorded and implemented, and that shared governance is substantive rather than performative</li><li>Conduct a periodic Governance Health Check an annual structured assessment of Board Committee effectiveness, Board self-evaluation process completion, and Presidential evaluation documentation reported directly to the Board Chair</li><li>Review all institutional conflicts of interest disclosures, related-party transaction documentation, and whistleblower reports ensuring these processes are functioning and that issues raised are tracked to resolution</li></ul></div></section><section><p class="heading">Desired Candidate Profile</p><p class="paragraph"></p><ul><li><strong>Education</strong> Master's degree in Accounting, Business Administration, Internal Auditing, or Public Administration is required.
