Description

Resident Life Director – Maple Hall (NJIT Student Housing, Newark, NJ) Starting Salary: $60,000 A new resident moves into Maple Hall — excited, but unsure what their experience will actually feel like. They don’t just need a place to live. They’re looking for connection. Structure. A sense of belonging. What happens next — the programs, the interactions, the support systems — shapes whether they thrive or just pass through. That experience doesn’t happen by accident. We’re hiring a Resident Life Director to lead that effort. What This Role Really Is This isn’t just planning events or supervising staff. This role is responsible for building the resident experience from the inside out — through programming, leadership, and daily interactions. It sits at the intersection of: * Student engagement * Leadership development * Operations * Community building You’ll lead the Resident Life program while developing a team of Resident Assistants who directly impact how residents experience the community every day. What You’ll Be Responsible For * Developing and implementing resident life programming that supports engagement and community * Training, scheduling, and supervising Resident Assistants * Leading regular staff meetings, trainings, and ongoing development * Supporting conflict resolution and ensuring consistent, fair processes * Overseeing outreach efforts to build strong relationships with residents * Coordinating with the General Manager, Leasing, and Maintenance teams * Supporting crisis response and being part of an on-call rotation through RISE and The University * Promoting a safe, inclusive, and well-managed community environment * Assisting with marketing and overall community goals What We’re Looking For The right person for this role: * Understands how to build community — not just plan events * Leads with consistency, professionalism, and accountability * Communicates clearly with both residents and staff * Is comfortable handling conflict, challenges, and high-pressure situations * Can develop and coach student staff into strong representatives of the community * Thinks proactively about engagement, not just reactive programming * Maintains a calm, solutions-focused approach in day-to-day operations What This Role Is NOT * Not just an event planning position * Not a passive, administrative role * Not disconnected from day-to-day resident experience Anyone can schedule a program. We’re looking for someone who can create an environment where residents feel supported, connected, and part of something — while leading a team that delivers that experience consistently. Why This Role Matters This position directly shapes: * How residents experience daily life in the community * How student staff grow and perform in their roles * The overall culture, safety, and engagement of the property It’s an opportunity to take ownership of a community experience — not just support it.
