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.
The Executive Assistant provides executive-level administrative support to the Senior Vice President for Business Development and the Executive Director, Operations at SU Global, serving as a key liaison between these leaders and external partners, University leadership and the broader University community. The position focuses primarily on higher-level, external-facing priorities, including engagement with corporate partners, community leaders and prospective institutional partners, and helps both leaders advance business development and operational priorities. The Executive Assistant works independently, exercises sound judgment in representing both leaders, anticipates issues, solves problems effectively and takes initiative in a high-pressure, fast-paced, time-sensitive environment, while maintaining confidentiality and projecting a professional, relationship-focused demeanor. The position works closely with the Office Coordinator to ensure administrative continuity across the unit.
