Assistant Director for Life Design - Student Athletes
Under the leadership of Dr. Farouk Dey, the inaugural Vice Provost for Integrative Learning and Life Design, Johns Hopkins University has developed an ambitious vision to continue to integrate life design, experiential learning, and mentoring in the academic and co-curricular learning experience for all students and postdoctoral fellows.

The Seizing Opportunities, Access and Relationships (SOAR) team is seeking an Assistant Director of Life Design - Student Athletes educator who will execute on the Life Design Labs vision, strategy, and objectives to enhance and deliver the professional development, career advancement, and life design offerings with special attention to our student athlete population with additional support for our first-generation college students, Pell-eligible students and underrepresented populations in higher education. As an equity-based office that believes all our students have the same opportunity to pursue their life purpose regardless of background, field of study, or social capital, each Life Design Educator is expected to co-create, collaborate, and support all our students; however, this position has a particular focus on student athletes.

The Life Design Educator will become familiar with the novel approach to career readiness and life design that has been established at Johns Hopkins University and implement programs, scalable support systems and create content to connect critical mindsets, frameworks and approaches with their designated student population.

Furthermore, the Life Design Educator will work with Directors and Associate Directors within the Life Design Lab to continue working with key partner stakeholders that include departmental leadership, faculty, campus partners, community partners, alumni, and employers. Maintaining critical and established relationships will be imperative to the Life Design Educator's success.

Over the year, the Life Design Lab offers credit bearing and non-credit bearing coursework driven by our unique life design curriculum. The Life Design Educator will spend time serving as a facilitator for first-year student-athletes and supports as a facilitator or co-facilitator of the formalized curriculum for our student population throughout the calendar year and may oversee immersive learning opportunities outside of Baltimore.

The Life Design Lab's efforts are also driven by initiative-based programs that span the academic calendar. Life Design Educators are expected to actively participate in the planning and execution of programs that impact our entire student population throughout the year.

While all Life Design Educators are expected to innovate, design and execute with inclusivity and equity in mind, the collective work of our SOAR team of educators will have a direct impact on identifying ways to support our diversifying student population and enhance the experience of our FLI (first-gen, limited income) students, and our underrepresented populations.

Specific Duties & Responsibilities

• Execute on the strategy of integrating life design, alumni connections, employer engagement, experiential learning, and implementing an established mentoring program into the academic and co-curricular learning experience for students and alumni within special attention paid to our individual student-athletes and their teams.
• Customize offerings and approaches given unique needs of students and alumni based on areas of identity and values, academic pursuits, and professional interests.
• Using the mindsets and methodologies of life design and best practices from the Life Design Lab, deliver inclusive workshops, programs, content, and digital resources to help all students and alumni achieve their life ambitions.
• Develop and execute programming at the team-level for all of our varsity athletic teams, and support team programming through the lens of life design and career readiness.
• Support in the delivery of Life Design curriculum to students via official life design offerings (the Life Design Summer Experience Practicum, intersession classes and treks, or department sponsored courses).
• Partner with faculty, alumni, and employers to increase mentoring, experiential learning, and career opportunities equitably for students and alumni.
• Serve in a supporting role for the execution of signature annual offerings.
• Serve as a point of contact for industry employers by identifying, promoting, and supporting established recruitment opportunities on campus.
• Scale efforts for a positive life design and professional development experience for all students and alumni, with special attention to under-represented and first generation and limited income communities.
• In partnership with Life Design Lab leadership, cultivate and strengthen relationships with colleagues across units, including academic departments, academic advising, life design lab, alumni relations, and athletics.
• Collaborate with Life Design Lab staff to build and maintain a network of employers and mentors across varied careers who can attend courses, programs, and networking events.
• Engage in social media, digital outlets, and academic and professional journals and associations to establish an exciting brand, tell the story, and serve as a thought leader at Johns Hopkins University and in higher education.
• Other Duties as Assigned.

The Ideal Candidate

• The ideal candidate has experience working with student-athletes and/or was a collegiate student-athlete themselves.
• The ideal candidate is comfortable with co-working and flexible work arrangements.
• The ideal candidate is excited about engaging with students, campus partners and alumni through multiple social media channels.
• Our educators work within multiple offices and spaces on campus. Rather than assigning office or desk spaces to our teams, we have modernized our approach and assigned laptops and cell phones and expect that our teams can work from anywhere for the purpose of scaling our impact across the institution.
• For this model to work, the ideal candidate must present excellent skills in relationship development and engaging audiences in groups and via social media and digital outlets.
• The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, data and outcomes driven, strong in planning and execution, comfortable leading programs and interventions with groups, and enjoys developing relationships and connections with multiple stakeholders at once.
• Our vision is focused on scalability of resources and services and does not utilize a one-on-one appointment model. For this transformation to work, traditional one-on-one counseling and coaching services are taking a backseat to a culture of scalable programs and interventions.

Minimum Qualifications

• Three (3) years of experience within a higher education, government, non-profit, or corporate setting.
• By way of experience, evidence of ability to develop and execute programs, courses, events, and content to scale impact across various constituent groups.
