Help Shape the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

The Landuyt Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is seeking a dynamic Student Innovation and Entrepreneur Program Coordinator to help advance one of the nation's leading university entrepreneurship ecosystems.

This role offers the opportunity to lead high-impact entrepreneurship programs, competitions, and events while collaborating with ambitious students, faculty, alumni, investors, and industry partners. The coordinator will manage projects from concept to execution, build meaningful cross-campus relationships, leverage AI and technology to improve operations, and create exceptional experiences that inspire innovation and startup creation.

Every program delivered, every partnership cultivated, and every student supported contributes to helping innovators transform bold ideas into successful ventures.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a professional who is passionate about entrepreneurship, project management, relationship-building, and making a lasting impact at one of the world's premier public research universities.

• A builder's mindset. A bachelor's degree and at least 12 months of experience in event planning, programs, or projects - ideally in entrepreneurship or innovation.
