Practice Group Coordinator, Professionals

The Marshall Career Services team, comprised of more than 30 professional staff, and more than 30 undergraduate and graduate student staff, lead the charge to ensure all of Marshall’s approximately 8,500 undergraduate, specialized MS, and MBA students have the support, resources, and connections to achieve their professional goals. Our team is currently in a period of change and rallying around a new set of strategic values:

• relationship-centered (we prioritize strong relationships with all internal and external stakeholders, especially students)
• career-outcome-driven (we connect students to as many opportunities and employers as possible and actively build the networks that lead to employment)
• innovative practice (we maintain a current, tech-forward, and competent practice)
• team-centered (we value our people and foster a supportive, balanced, and authentic work environment).

These values are reshaping how we function as a team and deliver career services. We are thrilled to be recruiting for several roles and are excited to recruit future team members that share our enthusiasm for defining the future of career services and continuing to build Marshall’s reputation as the best business school!
