  • Coordinate operations for strategic programs, including scheduling, logistics, documentation, and communication flow.
  • Prepare high‑quality reports, executive briefs, committee materials, and presentations for leadership and governance groups.
  • Manage cross‑functional workgroups and task forces by drafting charters, organizing schedules, setting agendas, capturing minutes, and maintaining decision/action logs.
  • Establish timelines, monitor deliverables, maintain organized records, and proactively identify risks or barriers.
  • Track follow-up items and ensure timely resolution of issues and outstanding tasks.
  • Assist in developing proposals, concept documents, and planning materials for new or emerging initiatives.

Communication, Partnerships & Engagement

  • Assist the Director in identifying, cultivating, and sustaining strategic partnerships across campus, healthcare systems, community organizations, and external agencies.
  • Track partner communications, commitments, and deliverables to ensure aligned timelines and successful collaboration.
  • Maintain organized systems for shared documents, partner directories, project repositories, and evaluation tools.
  • Support planning and execution of strategic program events—including launches, workshops, retreats, and site visits.
  • Maintain updated program information in college systems, including platforms such as Gators for Good, shared drives, project hubs, and communications channels.

Reporting, Assessment & Impact Tracking

  • Collect, clean, and prepare qualitative and quantitative data for analysis.
  • Develop summaries, reports, and dashboards for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Monitor milestones, risks, and progress across multiple strategic initiatives.
  • Analyze and synthesize environmental scan materials, program documents, and trend data to inform decision-making.
  • Manage program dashboards in platforms such as Smartsheet and ClearPoint Strategy, ensuring accurate KPI and progress tracking.

Expected Salary:

$70,000-$80,000

Required Qualifications:

A bachelors degree in an appropriate area of specialization and five years of appropriate experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Preferred:

  • Master's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Business Administration, Education, Public Health, Health Administration, Organizational Leadership, or related discipline).
  • Experience providing high‑level administrative or program coordination support within a large academic, healthcare, or research environment.
