About the Role
The Coordinator plays a central role in shaping and delivering Executive Education programs, from early client conversations through to program execution and evaluation. The position is responsible for the administration of executive education programs, working closely with faculty, clients, and internal teams to design learning experiences that meet real organizational needs. This is a hybrid role, mostly in-person, that blends supporting participants, scheduling faculty/ sessions, administering program delivery online and in person. You will work diligently to ensure high-quality delivery across multiple concurrent initiatives, ensuring excellence of service and delivery, as well as excellent client partnerships. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, with an inherent sense of urgency, and enjoys turning ideas into well-executed programs with measurable impact.
You’re someone who can operate comfortably at the day-to-day operational level. You are excellent with client facing interactions, making things happen through creative problem solving, event administration and management, think in terms of outcomes, and take ownership from concept through delivery. You are highly organized, adaptable, and able to manage multiple priorities without losing sight of quality. You’re equally comfortable working with faculty, senior clients, and internal teams, and can translate between them. Experience in program delivery, online educational platforms, client facing interactions are key. Problem solving, sound judgment, and a strong client-service mindset will set you apart.
