COMPANY & TEAM CULTURE: WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
CIS Abroad, and particularly the Custom Programs (CP) division, moves fast! We are looking for someone who is passionate about international education, not intimidated by change, and who will speak up when they have a good idea (and run with it!) The successful member of the team has a keen eye for detail, LOVES checklists, and enjoys building programs from the ground up. Ideally, you've spent some time abroad or have experience coordinating travel for yourself and/or others. Unlike many study abroad advising positions, our team works almost exclusively with faculty and study abroad staff, so you should be ready for little (if any) direct student contact. Lastly, while there's always support if you need it, the majority of our work is done independently; we are looking for a self-starter with a can-do attitude who will dive right in to new challenges!
