Job Description

About Schmidt Science Fellows


We believe in a vision of a world where interdisciplinary science flourishes without limit, accelerating discoveries to benefit the world, and driving innovation that improves quality of life for all. We help scientists solve bigger problems faster by identifying, developing, and amplifying the next generation of science leaders, building a community of scientists and supporters of interdisciplinary science, and leveraging this network to drive sector-wide change.


Our Science Leadership Program (SLP) is how Schmidt Science Fellows, working across the world, come together in fellowship to build the skills, experience, and networks required to become interdisciplinary science leaders.


The Program includes workshops and interactive sessions on topics such as managing diverse teams, effective communication and storytelling, resilience and risk-taking, and strategic problem-solving. Fellows also engage in scenario-based learning, peer collaboration exercises, and expert-led panels designed to enhance their abilities as science leaders to tackle the world’s most pressing problems.


Schmidt Science Fellows is an initiative of Schmidt Sciences, delivered in partnership with the Rhodes Trust. The Program was launched in 2017 by Eric and Wendy Schmidt. 

 

The Position


We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Program Manager to help drive the success of our flagship Science Leadership Program through meticulous planning, coordination, and execution. Reporting to and collaborating closely with the SLP Director, you will play a key role in ensuring operational and programmatic excellence and continuous improvement across all aspects of the program. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organized professional with a passion for developing the next generation of science leaders. 


The Science Leadership Program consists of three ~7-day convenings each year held in locations around the globe, including but not limited to Northern California, Boston, and Oxford, UK.


Each convening is unique, but our commitment to delivering the highest quality and ensuring the best experience for our Fellows and partners is constant.


Key Responsibilities


•\tProgram Design & Implementation: 

o\tAct as a key liaison point for speakers, partners, and stakeholders, coordinating communication, scheduling, and pre-event logistics; contribute to preparatory meetings to ensure alignment on session objectives and program expectations.

o\tLead the design and distribution of key SLP content—including session briefing documents, welcome packs, seating charts, and feedback surveys to enhance the convening experience.

o\tWork with the Events Manager and Operations Team to help in the coordination of event logistics.

o\tDevelop and implement inclusive and engaging activities to support community building among the active cohort, enhancing collaboration and a sense of belonging within the group.

o\tManage the operational planning and logistics of virtual community sessions across the year. 

o\tWorking in partnership with the SLP Director, contribute to shaping the curriculum and session design for convenings, incorporating new approaches to meet the program’s goals.

o\tOwn and deliver distinct parts of the SLP journey as agreed in collaboration with the SLP Director. This may include the facilitation of training, directly supporting Fellow-led initiatives, and delivering team-building activities. 


•\tParticipant Engagement & Support:

o\tManage communications with Schmidt Science Fellows, invited speakers, vendors, and participants regarding program details, schedules, and expectations. 

o\tWork with the Events Manager and Operations Team to help coordinate logistics related to participant involvement, such as travel arrangements, accommodations, and on-site support.

o\tCollaborate with Fellowship Affairs colleagues to create a seamless experience for Fellows, working closely in areas where SLPs intersect with Fellowship policies and support services.


•\tFeedback, Impact Assessment, & Data Management:

o\tDevelop an enhanced feedback approach to evaluate program effectiveness and participant engagement, including the creation of targeted survey questions and evaluation metrics.

o\tMaintain accurate records of Fellow attendance and feedback and analyze quantitative and qualitative data to assess program outcomes. Prepare post-event reports and presentations highlighting key insights and recommendations for improvement.

o\tFoster a collaborative and inclusive environment by engaging Fellows and partners in discussions to co-create program experiences based on feedback, ensuring continuous improvement and participant satisfaction.


•\tCommunications:

o\tCollaborate with the Communications Manager to support the effective delivery of the SLPs, including drafting engaging event content, curation and posting of content for our website and internal Hub site, and contributing to relevant communications channels. 


•\tBudget tracking and Administration:

o\tAssist the SLP Director in managing the program budget, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently and responsibly.

o\tHelp to track expenses and monitor financial performance in line with the program’s budget. Work closely with the Director of Operations to ensure all invoices are processed and paid.


•\tScience Leadership Program Support on the Ground:

o\tAttend all SLPs for the full duration, arriving up to two days ahead of time to ensure logistics are in place.

o\tProvide on-the-ground coordination support to the Fellows, SLP Director, and Events Manager to ensure successful delivery of the convenings, including greeting speakers, helping with room set up, and responding to Fellow and other needs as they arise. 


•\tSupport and contribute to other Schmidt Science Fellows convenings, including for our Senior Fellows community, as required. 


•\tCollaborate, co-create, and support team-wide activities as a means of contributing to and strengthening the culture of SSF. 


•\tOther duties as assigned.


Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes


Candidates for the position should be able to demonstrate the following knowledge, skills, and attributes:


•\tDemonstrated experience managing or coordinating leadership or training program design, planning, and execution. 

•\tExperience in or deep understanding of scientific careers and training pathways.

•\tAn affinity with the Schmidt Science Fellows mission and vision alongside a passion for fostering the growth of others and creating a supportive and impactful learning environment. 

•\tStrong organizational and project management skills, with the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and meet deadlines.

•\tExcellent attention to detail and problem-solving abilities and a willingness to engage in detailed administrative tasks. 

•\tStrong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal, with an ability to interact professionally with a wide range of stakeholders. 

•\tHave a positive, inclusive, and collaborative working style with a growth mindset and a clear commitment to the highest standards of delivery, ethics, and confidentiality. 

•\tFlexibility to adapt to changing circumstances and priorities and a willingness to manage flexible working to accommodate our international operations, management, and Fellows across multiple time zones. 

•\tBe a reliable self-starter with the ability to manage your own work area while recognizing when to engage leaders and colleagues.

•\tValue diversity and take pride in building a Fellowship community and working with a program team that brings together a diversity of thought, perspectives, and backgrounds. 

•\tExperience with modern office procedures, MS Office Suite, GSuite, and Zoom. Salesforce CRM experience is an advantage.


Requirements


•\tBachelor's degree or equivalent qualification from an accredited institution.

•\t4+ years of program coordination or management experience in leadership development, Scholarship or Fellowship programs, or other sustained training programs.

•\tBe able to co-work at our offices in central Oxford two days a week and to travel internationally. The post holder will be required to travel for up to 10 days at a time – with notice – to engage with the Schmidt Science Fellows community and support major events and convenings. 

•\tAttend all Science Leadership Programs for the entire duration, arriving 2 to 3 days ahead to ensure logistics are in place and remaining ½ to one day after to support post-SLP logistics.

•\tWe operate across two core hub offices, with teams based in both Oxford, UK, and Washington, D.C. and we work with Science Leadership Program delivery partners in California and various cities in North America. Some flexibility with working hours is expected to accommodate collaboration across time zones.
