Assistant Director, Programming and Operations

About the Opportunity

Position Summary:

The Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) and Social Justice Resource Center (SJRC) at Northeastern University are justice-oriented and welcoming spaces on campus that work to build socially conscious communities across difference. We host engaging programs and dialogues, affinity groups, and promote opportunities for intersectional identity development through a lens of social justice. The centers maintain space where students, faculty and staff can come together and engage across difference through a variety of programs and services such as dialogues, skill-building workshops, and identity-based events, among others. The Center is seeking an Assistant Director for Programming and Operations (AD) who will assist with the development and management of the department. Under the supervision of the Director, the Assistant Director will support the myriad of programs and services within the department, with direct responsibility over key elements included but not limited to: developing identity-based programming based on student need and demand; maintaining established partnerships in concert with the Director; facilitating workshops; identifying assessment opportunities and sustaining a culture of evidence-based change; managing the administrative components of the department including supervision of student staff; and curating the CIE's social media and web presence. The AD will contribute to the continued evolution of the CIE - established in 2016 - and will align their work with President Aoun's call to action including student support, cultural competency and anti-racism training, university-wide accountability, and community engagement. The work of the AD does not conform to a fixed schedule and the successful candidate will be required to support programs and services that take place during evenings and weekends. In our fast-paced global university system, it is imperative that the AD remain nimble-minded as priorities shift. Priority deadline will be May 20th and the application process will remain open until filled.
