Job Description
The Associate Director, Immersion Program Manager Role
The Associate Director of Experiential and Global Learning (Immersion Program Manager) in the Mendoza College of Business is a member of the Office of Experiential and Global Learning (EAGL). This role serves as a programmatic lead charged with developing, delivering, and continuously improving career-relevant, transformative learning opportunities for emerging business leaders.
The Associate Director reports to the Director of Experiential and Global Learning and works alongside a second Immersion Program Manager and the Associate Director for Project Design and Client Strategy. By strategically leveraging specialized college service-provider units (such as the Events Team and the College Finance Office), the Associate Director focuses on student-facing program design and excellent on-the-ground immersion delivery.
To succeed in this role, the candidate must be exceptionally organized while also adaptable in navigating fluid, evolving environments. This position requires a seasoned frontline staff leader possessing significant program management experience and a proven track record of working directly with highly articulate, high-expectation student populations, with a strong preference for graduate or upperclass undergraduate-level cohorts.

    • Two-Year MBA (First-Year Consulting projects, Second-Year Immersions)
    • One-Year Specialized Masters (MSM, MSBA, MSA, MSDM, MNA)
    • Executive MBA (Global and Regional Immersions)
  • Onsite Leadership & Safety: Serve as the onsite institutional lead during domestic and international travel. Manage cohort dynamics, mentor students, interface with business leaders/faculty, and handle crisis, safety, and travel protocols under pressure.
  • Curriculum Operations & Enrollment: Operationalize faculty syllabi, track student assignments, deliver feedback, manage course communications, and oversee student registration, applications, and selection.

Exploration and Development of New Programming (10%)
  • Innovation & Pilot Design: Explore, pilot, and establish emerging initiatives (e.g., case competitions) as market and demographic needs evolve.
  • Agile Implementation: Build operational structures, timelines, and communication plans for new projects, pivoting logistically as college priorities shift.

Program Assessment, Impact Reporting, and Marketing (10%)
  • Assessment & Reporting: Administer evaluation tools to measure learning outcomes, then compile impact and assessment reports for stakeholders and accreditation needs.
  • Program Marketing: Partner on marketing campaigns, info sessions, and promotional materials to highlight course value to prospective and current students.

Service to the Team, College, and University (10%)
  • Collaboration & Service: Partner with central campus units (career development, student life) to align programs, represent the team on college committees, and contribute to a supportive office culture.

Core Competencies & Experience:
  • Significant Program Management Experience: Demonstrated success in orchestrating logistically intense, multi-day experiential programs, academic global travel, or complex professional events.
  • Seasoned Frontline Leadership: A minimum of 5-7 years of professional experience, with a proven track record as a frontline staff leader working directly with high-expectation student populations, with a strong preference for graduate or upperclass undergraduate-level cohorts.
  • Exemplary Organization & Structural Flexibility: Exceptionally organized, structured, and detail-oriented, paired with the deep adaptability and growth mindset needed to navigate fluid, ambiguous, and rapidly evolving program pilots.
  • Academic Operationalization: Ability to translate academic course outlines and faculty learning objectives into high-quality operational plans, tracking student progress, and delivering professional student communications.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Exceptional relationship-building skills to act as a bridge between faculty, corporate/alumni stakeholders, and centralized business units.
  • Ethical Judgment & Crisis Resolution: Poise, resilience, and exceptional professional judgment under pressure. Proven ability to manage student crises, medical emergencies, and real-time logistical challenges during travel while maintaining excellent stakeholder communication.
  • Technical Proficiency: Proficiency with MS Office, Google Apps, Qualtrics, and Canvas.

Physical Demands/Work Environment:
  • The person in this position occasionally moves through the building to attend meetings/events and access files or information.
  • Will occasionally require work during early mornings, nights, and/or weekends, as well as seasonal travel multiple times a year to accompany students on immersions.
