“Campus Management looks for people that are passionate about what we do for our client institutions, knowing that the end game is student success and the transformation of lives,” said Kathy Murphy, the Chief People Officer.

“We are a fast-paced company so we look for adaptability and curiosity, but also someone who is customer-focused,” Murphy said. “Getting noticed and getting hired happens when you come prepared to talk about our business and the value you can bring to Campus Management and to our customers!”

Campus Management Office Life

The company culture at Campus Management is unique because about 20% of employees work remotely, which means that the company is almost always operating “virtually.” For those in office, the environment is very casual.

“We like to celebrate successes, milestones, or simply our multicultural holidays and this allows for people to relax and get to know each other socially,” Murphy said.

Milton told Ladders that Campus Management embodies the work hard, play hard mentality.

“We are constantly innovating and helping clients find solutions to their education technology challenges,” he said. “Even though we are driven to make institutions more successful and operationally efficient, we also take time to celebrate holidays and recognize employees who live our values.”
