Position Summary
Jack Welch College of Business & Technology invites applications for a full-time Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor with deep, hands-on expertise in branding and brand management. We are seeking a practitioner-scholar who has built and stewarded brands inside a leading consumer-facing organization (branding powerhouses such as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Johnson and Johnson, and similar companies are strong points of reference) and who wants to translate that real-world experience into the classroom. This is a teaching-focused role covering both undergraduate and graduate marketing courses, with particular emphasis on brand strategy, brand management, and applied brand-building practice.
Beyond the classroom, the ideal candidate is genuinely hands-on with students — approachable, present, and invested in walking alongside each student's academic and professional journey with patience and compassion. This is a role for someone who sees teaching and mentorship as inseparable, and who wants to help shape the next generation of brand marketers with the same care they once brought to building brands.
Responsibilities
- Teach undergraduate and graduate courses in marketing, with a core focus on branding and brand management, following the college's standard teaching load for full-time visiting faculty.
- Design and deliver applied, practice-based coursework — case studies, brand audits, live-client or capstone projects — that draws directly on real brand-management experience.
- Advise and mentor students on coursework, projects, and career planning with a hands-on, compassionate approach, including regular office hours and informal availability to students.
- Support experiential learning activities such as case competitions, internships, and industry guest engagements connecting students to the branding and consumer marketing world.
- Contribute to curriculum development and continuous improvement of the marketing program's branding-related course offerings.
- Participate in department and college activities, including assessment, meetings, and service appropriate to a visiting faculty appointment.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Master's degree (MBA or equivalent) in Marketing, Business, or a closely related field.
- Minimum of 5 years of hands-on, in-house brand management experience gained at a leading, brand-driven consumer organization (e.g., Procter & Gamble, Unilever, or comparable companies).
- Minimum of 5 years of consulting experience in branding or strategic brand management.
- Prior teaching experience in higher education (adjunct, visiting, or full-time faculty appointment).
- Demonstrated ability to translate real-world branding experience into engaging, applied classroom instruction.
- A genuine, demonstrated commitment to hands-on student mentorship and advising, marked by patience, empathy, and compassion.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Doctoral degree (PhD, DBA, or equivalent terminal degree) in Marketing or a related field.
- Corporate training or executive-education teaching experience.
- Experience teaching or mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
- Familiarity with digital and data-driven branding practices (brand analytics, social/digital brand strategy, etc.).
- A track record of thought leadership, such as industry speaking engagements, publications, or professional certifications.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Interested candidates should submit the following materials through Sacred Heart University's online candidate portal:

Search Teaching Jobs in ConnecticutTeaching Jobs in Connecticut: Frequently Asked Questions
Which employers in Connecticut sponsor visas for teaching roles?
Connecticut's larger public school districts, including Hartford Public Schools, Bridgeport Public Schools, and New Haven Public Schools, have histories of sponsoring H-1B visas for qualified specialty teachers. Private independent schools and higher education institutions such as Yale University and the University of Connecticut also sponsor international educators, particularly for postsecondary teaching and research-adjacent roles.
Which visa types are most common for teaching jobs in Connecticut?
The H-1B is the most common visa for postsecondary and specialty K-12 teaching roles that require a relevant bachelor's degree or higher. The J-1 visa is also widely used, particularly through exchange visitor programs that place teachers in public schools. Some roles at private institutions may qualify under O-1 visa for educators with distinguished records. TN visa classification covers certain teaching roles for Canadian and Mexican nationals.
How to find teaching visa sponsorship jobs in Connecticut?
Migrate Mate filters teaching jobs in Connecticut specifically by visa sponsorship, so you're not sorting through listings from employers who won't support international candidates. Search for teaching roles on Migrate Mate and filter by Connecticut to see current openings at school districts, private schools, and universities that have sponsored visas before. This saves significant time compared to reviewing unfiltered postings.
Which cities in Connecticut have the most teaching sponsorship jobs?
Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven concentrate the highest volume of teaching sponsorship opportunities because their large public school districts serve high-need populations and actively recruit for bilingual, special education, and STEM positions. Stamford and Waterbury also post teaching openings regularly. University-adjacent cities like Storrs and Middletown see sponsorship activity primarily through higher education institutions.
Are there any Connecticut-specific considerations for international teachers seeking sponsorship?
Connecticut requires teachers in public schools to hold a state-issued educator certification, and international candidates must have credentials evaluated for equivalency before certification is granted. This evaluation process takes time and should be started early. Districts sponsoring H-1B visas must pay the prevailing wage as determined by the Department of Labor, which is tied to local wage data for Connecticut teaching positions specifically, not national averages.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored teaching jobs in Connecticut?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
