Partnerships Manager Visa Sponsorship Jobs in Maryland

INTRODUCTION

We are seeking an Assistant Director, Employer Partnerships and Experiential Learning who will lead the creation of a public purpose experiential learning pathway for doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. The pathway connects experiential learning opportunities such as internships, research experiences, community-based engagements, project-based engagements, and on-campus roles into a route that builds the skills and readiness for careers in nonprofits, government, and other community-based organizations. The role will support the broader work of the experiential learning team and the Doctoral Life Design Studio, providing 1:1 support and workshops for doctoral students and postdocs and partnering on signature events.

• Gather, analyze, and share data and insights related to employer engagement, experiential learning, events, student participation, hiring rates, and overall program effectiveness.
• Manage tracking, documentation, and secure storage of student and employer agreements, ensuring compliance with institutional policies and legal requirements.
• Collaborate with the team and broader division on employer events.
• Contribute to team-wide programming and initiatives, including signature event planning and execution.
• Other duties as assigned.
