About the role

Harvard University’s Bloomberg Center for Cities seeks a Senior Director to build Harvard’s pipeline into city government. You will connect cities with students via fellowships, internships, and jobs, working with mayors and city leaders to translate needs into student-ready opportunities. The role requires a strategic, entrepreneurial, systems-thinking leader capable of building partnerships across Harvard and beyond to deliver measurable public service 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.
