Overview

The Career and Alumni Program Associate works with the national leadership team to advance one of Posse’s primary goals – to help Scholars become alumni and transition from being leaders on campus to leaders in the workforce. Reporting to the National Director of Career and the National Director of Alumni Programs, the Career and Alumni Program Associate supports programming aimed at providing critical career and alumni engagement to Posse Scholars and alumni. The Career and Alumni Program Associate focuses on three key responsibilities: 

1) serve as a key liaison and resource for Posse Scholars and alumni seeking support in pursuing professional and leadership growth;

2) help coordinate workshops, webinars, and signature programs and events such as the National Posse Alumni Leadership Conference, the Career Coaching Program, and the Posse Summer Leadership Award; and 

3) help collect, manage and improve systems for data related to the Scholar and alumni community, including direct data entry, reviewing and spot-checking data entry and running reports in Salesforce.

Other responsibilities include working closely with the national office and career departments in each Posse site to support the management of national career partners, the Posse National Alumni Advisory Council (PNAAC), outreach and communicating opportunities to Scholars and Alumni.
