Programming Manager
EXPLO Intermediate, Bronxville, New York
June 21, 2024 - August 10, 2024
We are seeking creative, detail-oriented leaders who are excited to build campus community and see events through from initial idea to end-of-night clean-up, thereby creating lasting memories for hundreds of students.
About Us:
At EXPLO, our engine is curiosity. We drive joyful learning through investigation, collaboration, and play.
We’re a mission-driven, educational non-profit with more than 85,000 student alumni who hail from 90 countries. We offer day and residential summer programs for clever and curious students in grades 4 through 12 on three of the most beautiful college campuses on the East Coast of the U.S. For many, EXPLO is a life-changing experience. Our students sometimes describe it as the place where they feel like the truest version of themselves. We know you’ll transform the lives of our students. We hope the experience will transform yours, too.
The Opportunity:
We like to say Programming Managers make the magic happen on campus. That’s because they’re the ones planning and running our nightly events, student activities, and almost everything else that happens on campus outside the classroom and residential halls. Programming Managers manage a tight-knit team that takes charge of running over 30 campus events and hundreds of activities and clubs throughout the summer. Through great planning, Programming Managers make summer logistics run like a well-oiled machine, making the experience of being at EXPLO easy and engaging. This allows our staff and students to focus on engaging learning experiences, making connections, and having fun. Whether it’s coordinating staff members’ schedules so they know where to be and when, prioritizing and delegating campus-wide tasks, brainstorming ideas for the next day’s activities, or seeing the biggest evening event of the summer through from idea and planning to clean up, Programming Managers build our campus community and magic to make sure that the program’s work gets done and gets done well.

- Manage a team of staff to coordinate all logistics for student programming, including nightly campus events, activities, clubs, staff scheduling, supplies and materials, athletics, and more
- Break down large-scale events and projects into smaller tasks, which can be delegated and shared among the team, while also maintaining responsibility for events and following up with staff to ensure work is completed

- Supervise, mentor, and train staff working on events and in the Programming/Operations Office
- Assist in creating staff schedules, administering duties and assigning tasks to staff to ensure that all campus needs are taken care of
Campus Operations Student Life:
- Establish systems of communication with the various offices at the program (e.g. Office of Student Life, Office of Teaching Learning), as well as students, to communicate information about schedules, programming and other operations
- Jump in to help out with courses, entertain students stuck inside during a thunderstorm, run student clubs, or any other aspects of the program when the need arises
