About the Role

The Company is seeking a Managing Director with a strong military background to lead the expansion and impact of its military research institute. The successful candidate will be responsible for building awareness and demand for the program across all branches of the U.S. military, as well as recruiting and retaining top-tier military officers for graduate study. This role involves fostering strategic partnerships, representing the institute at various events, and ensuring the academic and professional success of military officers enrolled in the program. The Managing Director will also be tasked with designing and implementing professional development programming, managing the program's operations, and overseeing a full-time staff member.

Applicants for the Managing Director position at the company should have a visionary approach, excellent relationship-building skills, and a passion for advancing national defense through education and research. The role requires a leader who can work in collaboration with the Faculty Director and the College of Engineering Graduate team to expand the institute's reach and reputation. A key aspect of the position is the strategic program development, including the launch and management of new initiatives. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in military service, advanced education, and a proven track record in cutting-edge innovation. A military background is essential, and experience in a leadership role within a similar academic or research setting is highly desirable.
