Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and aworld leader in experiential learning. The same commitment toconnectin with the world drives our use-inspired research enterprise. The university offers a comprehensive rangeofundergraduate and graduate programs leading to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Our Global University System consisting of fourteen campuses across North America and inthe UK are platforms for undergraduate and graduate learning and collaborative research.

Northeastern's signature cooperative education model integrates rigorous academic study with professional experience, producing graduates who are career-readyfrom day one.

Reporting to the Dean of the D'Amore-McKim School of Business(DMSB), and working in close partnership with the Executive Director of US Degree Programs at Northeastern University London,the Executive Director of Global Business - NYC is the founding academic leader charged with building and scaling Northeastern'snext-generation business degree: one program delivered across two continents, designed for a future in which competitive advantage comes from human capability - not technical knowledge alone.

The Bachelor of Global Business is a transformative degree in whichstudents move between New York and London as a core feature of thedegree, not a study-abroad add-on, developing expertise across business, design, technology, creativity, entrepreneurship, and AIalong the way. The centerpiece of the degree is a sequence of four required, progressive, cross-year Studios - Foundations, Innovation Lab, Strategy & Implementation, and Leadership &Transformation - each co-taught by one business faculty member andone design/arts faculty member, and each replacing select traditional core courses under an AACSB-compliant, competency-based assessment model.

This business design/arts co-teaching model sitsat the heart of every studio, and the Executive Director must bringa proven ability to lead cross-college collaboration, building shared ownership between business and design/arts faculty as they design and deliver much of the curriculum together. Beyond the studios, students pursue an I3 studio (a specialization studio,paired with two required electives) in areas such as media and entertainment, fashion and luxury marketing, fintech, global supply chain, and tech andAI leadership - taken at either campus, and serving as the degree's primary vehicle for cross-campus mobility.
