Syracuse University is building something new. We're launching SU Global to reimagine how we support and scale accessible online pathways for non-traditional learners, in a dynamic, innovative, and data-driven environment. That means rethinking how we work.
This role requires on-campus presence because the best ideas emerge from real-time collaboration, the mentorship that happens in hallways, and the spontaneous problem-solving that defines startup culture. You'll work non-traditional hours when needed - evening and weekend coverage, whatever it takes to deliver the best-in-class experience.
We're looking for team members who thrive in:
High-energy, in-person environments where innovation happens face-to-face
Flexible scheduling that follows student needs, not the clock
Startup intensity within a world-class university structure
We're not looking for people who want a job. We're looking for builders who want a mission.
