Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The manager will oversee the meeting and event support infrastructure for multiple academic departments to ensure quality and consistency. Key duties include end-to-end planning of academic lectures and symposia, supervising student workers, and identifying systemic operational improvements.
A bachelor's degree and at least 3 years of professional experience in meeting or event planning are required. Experience in higher education operations or administration is preferred.
The Department of Arts & Science is seeking an Academic Operations Manager. This person will join an exciting new effort to reimagine how meeting and event operational support works across the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. This role is central to realizing the vision of a cohesive, proactive, and scalable academic operations model. The Manager will help make this vision come to life in practice first by focusing on delivering exceptional meeting and event service, executing efficiently and enthusiastically. This is a high-visibility operational role for someone who wants to do the work, not just direct it, and wants to make a real and lasting impact on how a complex, intellectually rich academic environment functions. Over time, and as a foundation of exceptional service and trust is established, this role will help identify, shape, and scale additional central services offered to departments.
You love to roll up your sleeves and do the work. You lead by modeling what exceptional service looks like. You see gaps before they become problems, meet needs before someone realizes they have one, not just because it’s your job, but because that’s just how you operate.
You're energized by variety, pace, and by doing the work. Multiple departments, competing timelines, and stakeholders with different working styles don't rattle you — they interest you. You are driven by a service mindset, when things run well and people have what they need to do their work, that’s success.
You pursue flawless execution and take quality seriously because you are passionate about operational excellence. You’re looking for a role where you can contribute to an exciting new initiative, where your expertise will be valued, and where your performance will build confidence in central services.
