The EDGE Consortium-Executive Director (Remote) at American Society for Engineering Education

The EDGE Consortium - Executive Director (Remote)

The EDGE Consortium – a coalition of universities and engineering schools founded by women presidents and deans of engineering committed to expanding the engineering and technology workforce – is seeking nominations and expressions of interest for an inaugural Executive Director. This is a key position to achieve an audacious goal of doubling the semiconductor workforce. Success can only be achieved by drawing upon the full talent of our nation and significantly increasing opportunities for those who have been traditionally underrepresented in STEM.

To build on its early momentum, EDGE will need dedicated, imaginative, and innovative leadership. Key responsibilities include:

1. Working closely with the EDGE members to guide the Consortium's next chapter.
2. Ensuring compliance with rules and regulations.
3. Convening and maximizing the input of the board.
4. Growing the Consortium to a wide and diverse array of educational institutions and industry partners.

The ideal candidate will bring exceptional leadership and management experience as well as the ability to guide, manage, direct, and execute, with the drive to build on the program's early accomplishments and continue to advance an ambitious program of national impact. They must be comfortable with a co-governance structure and possess a strong track record of accomplishment.

For fullest consideration, candidate materials should be received by October 25, 2024. Application materials should be submitted using WittKieffer’s candidate portal.

The EDGE Consortium is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
