The Tufts Office of University Strategy and Program Development tackles the most interesting and pressing challenges in higher education through critical strategic planning, advisory, and analytical support. The Office serves the University as a partner to Tufts schools and the central administration in the identification and development of mission-related opportunities that transform the Universitys model for sustainable success in the 21st century higher education ecosystem. We achieve this mission by providing business analysis and project management expertise for transformational strategic initiatives (often serving as an internal consulting agency), by providing best-in-class market research and business analysis to the Tufts community, by partnering with schools and units across the university to build strategic portfolios of educational programs, and by supporting the universitys strategic planning processes and the cultivation of a strategic mindset in all areas of the institution. Led by an Executive Director, the Office reports to the Executive Vice President and works closely with the Office of the Provost in establishing and implementing its priorities.
What You'll Do:The Associate Director, Strategic Initiatives reports to the Director of Strategy and Analysis in the Office of University Strategy and Program Development and supports project-based transformational initiatives aligned to the Universitys strategic priorities as a part of an internal consulting function. In doing so, the Associate Director is a key strategic partner not only to the Director but also to the Executive Director and to initiative owners, who could include the Executive Vice President, Provost, School Deans, and Central Unit Vice Presidents.
The Associate Director will be either partially or fully allocated to strategic initiatives based on the needs of the University, the estimated time required to complete the project, and to the extent possible, personal preference. In the higher education environment, strategic projects tend to move more slowly than in industry. Reflecting this, the Associate Director will be more deeply engaged in having a real strategic impact through both team and stakeholder engagement and day-to-day responsibility for project outcomes, similar to that of a Senior Consultant role at a management consultancy.
