About the Opportunity

Summary

Reporting to the Center Director, the Associate Director fosters greater awareness, knowledge and skills around LGBTQIA2S+ identities, cultural literacies, and inclusion both in a U.S. as well as a global context. Working in collaboration with University stakeholders and community partners, the Associate Director leads the development, implementation, budgetary coordination, and assessment of programs and services directly related to the holistic health, wellness, sense of belonging, and student experience of Northeastern learners prioritized by the Center.

The Associate Director serves as the primary point of contact with University partners around issues of student care and resourcing.

The Associate Director plays a leading role in the assessment, evaluation and evidence-based curriculum development of the Center's programs and services to meet the needs of a diverse learning community on the main Boston campus as well as contribute to presence and engagement across the growing global network.

In addition to these programmatic responsibilities, the Associate Director will supervise full-time professional staff, advise student organizations and affinity groups, and supervise and mentor the Center's student staff (including co-ops/interns).
