We educate, inspire, and support young people to use innovation and entrepreneurship to solve the world’s biggest problems.  Each year, across more than 1,000 campuses in 33+ countries, we educate tens of thousands of college and university students. These young people launch entrepreneurial initiatives to help people, the planet, and our shared prosperity, impacting the lives of 13.1 million people. 

 

For 47 years, Enactus has been preparing next generation leaders with a head for business and a heart for the world. Our global team contributes to this work through: 

  • Accelerating the pace of change by strengthening the capacity of our network country offices
  • Sharing learnings & innovations across boundaries
  • Providing students with global learning experiences

 

Enactus was originally founded in the United States in 1975 and the USA is now one of 33 countries from around the world that operates an Enactus program. The Enactus United States National Exposition (USA Expo) is an event each spring where teams showcase the collective impact of their community outreach efforts in a multi-day competition. 

 

POSITION SUMMARY
 

 

The Program Manager of Enactus United States will join a growing team to help ensure the achievement of key objectives for the organization, with specific duties related to Enactus United States faculty and student team support and heavy responsibilities in event management, especially around the annual United States Expo, which will be held this year May 13-15 at the University of Texas at Austin. This role will entail strategic planning, management, and operational oversight, during an exciting time of rebuilding and redirecting the organization during a transitional year. 

 

This role focuses on creatively engaging our community of faculty members, student teams, and other stakeholders at over 50 universities to deepen the connection of the network to help young leaders everywhere use innovation and business skills to ensure that all people thrive in a sustainable world. They will work with the Enactus United States & Global team to develop strong strategies to engage our community and provide services to its diverse groups of constituents. This position offers the opportunity to make a significant impact on communities and develop young leaders who are dedicated to solving the world’s biggest problems.

 

This position will mostly focus on Enactus United States, but given the small programmatic team with colleagues also working with Enactus Global, will also have work responsibilities supporting Global objectives, especially around the Enactus World Cup, which will be held this year in Astana, Kazakhstan.

 

The candidate must have a flexible schedule, be prepared to join meetings and conference calls earlier and later than regular business hours – including some weekends, and must be able to travel several times each year domestically, including for the USA Expo May 13-15, and potentially also internationally (will require a passport and/or real ID, once that is a US requirement for air travel).
