Join The Community Solution

The success of The Community Solution is fueled by radical cooperation— the coming together of educational expertise and operational knowledge across our community. Together, these communities create an ecosystem of support, innovation, and excellence that positively impacts students, faculty, and staff alike.

We have built an innovative workforce of talented professionals who work together with our colleges and universities to increase student success and enhance community impact. A distributed workforce model allows employees to be dispersed geographically to meet the needs of our growing community. This offers many employees flexibility to work from different locations, making it an ideal place for those seeking remote jobs in higher education Despite being geographically dispersed, our employees support operational needs and feel connected through thoughtful engagement programming. We center organizational values and embrace technology to support productivity and enhance employee experience
