About the role

Brandeis University is seeking a Director of Upward Bound to lead a federally funded program in Waltham, MA. You will recruit students, oversee a team of instructors and mentors, and drive program outcomes while ensuring compliance with federal regulations and university policies. The role involves partnership development with Waltham High School, local nonprofits, and Brandeis departments to expand student opportunities and college access for first-generation and low-income students.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
