Assistant Director of Career Management Center

Cornell SC Johnson College of Business:

Leading at the intersection of people, business, and technology, the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business is one of the most comprehensive business schools in the nation and includes many areas of expertise not found in any other leading institution. The college is comprised of the university’s three accredited business schools, each of which is recognized as among the best in higher education: the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, and the Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration. Our academic research; industry and community engagement; and undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs all reflect the future of business: flexible, collaborative, and cross-disciplinary. The college community includes 232 research faculty, 46,000 alumni, and nearly 3,300 undergraduate, professional, and graduate students. The SC Johnson College of Business has an unparalleled resource base from which to draw—within the college, Cornell Tech in New York City, and Cornell University broadly.

Career Management Center:

The SC Johnson College of Business Career Management Center prepares undergraduate and graduate students across our three schools for a competitive job market with advising, workshops, networking, and access to appropriate tools/resources.

The Career Management Center at the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business plays a pivotal role in helping students and alumni achieve their career goals by providing comprehensive resources, personalized support, and invaluable networking opportunities. This role supports the students at the Dyson School of Applied Economics, which is currently ranked number 3 in the Bloomberg BusinessWeek rankings. It also supports the students of the Nolan School of Hotel Administration, a premier hospitality business school acknowledged by CEO World Magazine as the "best hospitality and hotel management school in the world". Together, both schools have over 1,500 undergraduates who excel in industries such as real estate, finance, consulting, hospitality, food and beverage, technology and data-driven roles.

   

While position responsibilities vary, every member of our community is expected to foster a culture of belonging and a psychologically healthy work environment by communicating across differences; being cooperative, collaborative, open, and welcoming; showing respect, compassion, and empathy; engaging and supporting others regardless of background or perspective; speaking up when others are being excluded or treated inappropriately; and supporting work/life integration of oneself and others.

The Assistant Director of the SC Johnson College of Business undergraduate career center will deliver a comprehensive career management model for undergraduate students. In addition to the comprehensive career management model, the Assistant Director will assist in the development of an industry-specific career development model for careers.

Using this model will require collaboration with administration, faculty and students across several programs, undergraduate and graduate, to ensure the program goals are met. In addition to programming initiatives, the Assistant Director will provide one-one career advisement to undergraduate students within the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business community. Along with other advisors, the Assistant Director will guide the professional development of all Nolan School of Hotel Administration and the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics undergraduate students.

The Assistant Director will independently work with student organizations to build synergies that deliver nationally recognized ‘best in class’ professional development programming.

Using standards developed by the National Undergraduate Business Symposium – a peer group of top undergraduate business programs across the US and the MBACSEA, the Assistant Director will track and record employment outcomes for the SC Johnson College of Business community and will work personally and collaboratively to ensure post-graduation outcomes are successfully achieved.

The Assistant Director will work independently to build and maintain relationships with faculty, recruiters, and alumni to support the career aspirations of undergraduate SC Johnson College of Business students.

In collaboration with the Senior, Associate Director & Managing Director, the Assistant Director will monitor program success through the use of survey data and make improvements that support key performance indicators.
