About the Position

Each year, CIC conducts several small to medium-sized meetings and three large conferences for college and university presidents, deans, faculty members, and other campus leaders.

Experience working as part of a hybrid team is desirable, as is experience working in a highly collaboratively environment. A bachelor’s degree (preferably from a CIC member institution) is required as well as at least five years of full-time work experience.

The successful candidate will demonstrate attention to detail, the ability to be organized, and strong writing skills. Effective interpersonal communication and a highly collaborative work style are required, as are flexibility and the ability to adjust quickly in response to changing needs and circumstances. The successful candidate will be proactive, confident, and able to work with minimal day-to-day supervision.

Like all CIC staff members, the conference manager will demonstrate a proactive, positive, and member-focused disposition; handle competing priorities independently and effectively; exercise creativity, initiative, and good judgment in solving problems; and be inclined to thrive in a diverse and collegial small office.

This position requires occasional overnight, weekend, and out-of-area travel several times a year.Performing the responsibilities of this position requires the ability to see, hear, and speak; work in a normal seated position for extended periods of time; use hands to finger, handle, or feel; be able to lift and/or move up to 20 pounds; manually operate standard office equipment such as keyboards and printers; and move throughout an office or conference space.
