About the Opportunity

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

The Program is one of Northeastern's signature first-year experiences - an experiential and academic program that expands students' Northeastern education into worldwide locations.

The Program Supervisor facilitates everyday operations for a pathway program; serves as a point of contact with the partner for day-to-day operational work to ensure that the program services are provided efficiently and effectively.

The Program Supervisor collaboratively fosters a warm and welcoming community where members demonstrate concern for those within and without their community and that challenges students to acknowledge and overcome their assumptions in the pursuit of mutual respect for individuals of diverse cultures, life experience, and beliefs.

The Program Supervisor troubleshoots issues and ensures quality in collaboration with the Assistant Director and the Student Success Manager. This work typically involves organizing logistics and coordinating a variety of program activities, as well as on-call duty. The Program Supervisor contributes to student development and associated programming, monitoring, and evaluation activities. Other responsibilities include routine handling of financial transactions and marketing and events administration.

Note regarding duration:
The Program Supervisor role may be a six month appointment depending upon need.

The role is a full-time, benefits-eligible position that requires the person in this role to live on-site with students at one or more locations globally.

During the fall semester, this individual will live on-site and oversee the operations for one Program location.

The Program Supervisor will collaborate with other campus partners on program planning projects and specific goals (e.g., communications, enrollment, yield) to ensure student and programmatic success.
