Schwarzman Scholars is the first scholarship program created to respond to the geopolitical landscape of the 21st century through a unique partnership between Stephen A. Schwarzman and Tsinghua University. This Senior Director for Academic Programs position is a rare opportunity to build on the program's legacy of success over the past decade to further develop and shape a flagship global leadership program. It calls for a respected academic institutionalist who can balance innovation with stewardship, global ambition with local realities, and leadership education with academic integrity across systems and cultures to develop and support curricular initiatives for the top emerging leaders in the world. This effort requires significant recruitment and support of a global faculty to teach courses in the program's three pillars of leadership, global affairs, and China at Schwarzman College in Beijing, and continuous efforts to integrate new faculty into existing programs and processes, always with an eye towards future adjustments to serve the evolving needs of the incoming classes of Scholars. A member of the senior leadership team, leading an academic programs team of four at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Education Foundation in New York and working closely with an academic programs team of 8 colleagues at Schwarzman College in Beijing, the Senior Director for Academic Programs will be based in New York City. He or she will report to the Executive Director of the Schwarzman Scholars Program and work most closely with the Dean of the college and Associate Dean of Academic Programs in China, as well as the Program's Academic Advisory Council.
