We are looking for a Program Coordinator:
Thought Leadership, Communications & Campaigns.

What You'll Do:

• Career Navigation Hub Thought Leadership Project & Program Management
  • Develop and maintain project plans for all Hub marketing and communications work — campaigns, content initiatives, social media, events, PR, and channel programs — defining scope, milestones, owners, dependencies, and deadlines.
  • Track deliverables, resourcing, and the full Hub budget across concurrent work streams; manage variances and process-related contracts; flag risks early and drive decisions to keep work on time and on budget.
  • Run regular status reviews and stakeholder updates; define success metrics and KPIs, establish baselines, and produce dashboards and quarterly reporting for leadership.
• Workflow & Process Improvement
  • Design, document, and continuously improve repeatable workflows across campaigns, content production, event execution, internal comms, social media, and PR, including standardized review, approval, and handoff between teams.
  • Build templates, checklists, and project charters so the team can scale without reinventing the wheel each cycle.
  • Evaluate and recommend tools and systems that streamline planning, collaboration, and reporting.
• Calendar & Operational Coordination
  • Own and maintain the Career Navigation's Hub's master calendar — integrating editorial, campaign, event, channel (podcast, newsletter, website, Career Ready HQ), and internal comms schedules into a single source of truth.
  • Sequence and pace work to avoid bottlenecks and audience message overload; align cadence with organizational priorities and key moments.
  • Coordinate with other Hub program leads to identify dependencies and synergies, surface blockers and trade-offs early, and facilitate cross-functional decisions.

• Campaign & Content Operations Support
  • Partner with the communications team to plan and operationalize integrated campaigns (research, policy, partner content), translating strategy into work plans, channel schedules, and measurement frameworks.
  • Coordinate communications for the Counselor, Employer, and Parent tracks, along with Sector Overviews, the Ad Council program, and the Harvard Workforce Project.
  • Partner with the marketing team to plan and operationalize national audience campaigns (the Hub Story, Parent Campaign, Counselor Campaign), tracking progress against the broader campaign work plan.
  • Support RFP development and selection for creative, media-buying, PR, and design agency partners; manage onboarding, scopes of work, and ongoing performance.
  • Coordinate other key initiatives — new podcast development, the Hub's messaging platform, media training, and crisis communications planning — and support end-to-end production of briefs, reports, blogs, and web content.
• Event Session Proposal & Operations Support
  • Source new events, conferences, and speaking opportunities aligned to the Hub's priorities, with clear ROI and resourcing recommendations.
  • Manage the Hub event calendar through post-event evaluation, including speaker management, proposal processes, sponsor ships, and logistics.
  • Write, route, and submit event session proposals, and prepare speakers with briefing documents, talking points, and run-of-show.
  • Maintain a repository of past proposals and reusable content, and conduct post-event ROI analysis to inform future event selection.
• Internal Communications & PR Operations Support
  • Co-develop and operationalize the Hub's internal comms plan, including cadence, templates, and channel structure.
  • Co-plan Town Hall content, manage Hub Teams…
