About the role

Harvard University’s Bloomberg Center for Cities is seeking a Senior Director to build and strengthen Harvard’s pipeline into city government from campuses to city halls in partnership with mayors and city leaders. This role translates city priorities into student-ready opportunities and advances programs that place Harvard students in public service roles. As a strategic, entrepreneurial thinker, you will lead a diverse team, foster cross-school collaborations, and drive measurable outcomes

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.
