Day to Day:

The ideal candidate will have a pulse on global trends and global opportunities in higher education, and will have experience working with university leadership teams around the world to develop and advance strategy, implement transformational change efforts, and achieve actionable outcomes. While the perfect candidate will be an expert in their own right, they will also embrace a philosophy of co-design and have the capacity to partner with clients in co-designing innovative models.

This person will not be an “expert teller”, or someone who merely advocates for best practices and solutions; rather, the perfect candidate will partner alongside UDI clients, actively listening and assessing their current needs and co-design transformational solutions. Recognizing that transformation initiatives require diverse types of expertise, our desired candidate will also have the ability to configure and lead teams of experts that may be needed for engagements. While business development is not an overt part of this role, the desired candidate will be able to easily engage as a trusted advisor and convert potential opportunities into clients when the opportunities arise.

If you have strategy and change management experience, have deep interest in higher education transformation, and are ready for an opportunity to help build a practice within a university setting, this position may be for you
