The Role

We’re looking for a someone with a background in law willing to work as academic administrator. You must be detail-oriented, systematic, and able to see how the parts fit together into the whole.

1) Academic Administration

You will design and file regulatory paperwork related to the ongoing compliance requirements for accreditation. You'll be provided with support and guidance for appropriate filings, but you will quickly become self-sufficient in your ability to compose 50-150 page forms related.

2) Quality Assurance

You'll get up to speed on the specialized QA requirements for filing long forms and paperwork, and your attention to detail means that you'll understand the wide-ranging, systematic impact of small details.

3) Project Management

You must be able to manage large and complex projects with multiple workstreams and ensure they are completed with minimal support. You’ll need to be self-activating: rather than waiting for an email reply, you’ll pick up the phone and call.

4**) Instructional Design**

You'll collaboratively help both senior and junior academics reduce complexity in their new academic courses and degree designs, with a keen understanding of how degree design will impact students and the future usability of the program.

5**) Stakeholder management**

• Graduate-level education
• Either experience in law, or 10+ years academic administration, or a PhD
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You’re a meticulous, systematic, goal focused, and able to work with complex regulatory frameworks
• You're patient but persistent in the face of bureaucratic inertia
• Readiness to work in a start-up environment - you'll be a self-starter, able to take initiative in breaking ambiguous projects into concrete, time-bound steps

Benefits

• You'll work at the cutting edge of international regulation in higher education, with exposure to top law firms and educational organizations in that space
• Smart team
• Flexible paid time off
• Work from home set up
