The Strategic Unified Management for Multidisciplinary Initiatives Team (SUMMIT) is seeking a Project Associate to provide administrative support across a diverse portfolio of research centers under the Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation (OVPRI).

Key Responsibilities

As a member of the SUMMIT team, each Project Associate will manage a portfolio of research centers, projects, and initiatives. While Program Managers set the overall strategy and objectives, Project Associates play a vital role in contributing insights and supporting the definition of goals and scope. The responsibilities include:

  • Project Planning and Development: Engage in the formulation and execution of project plans, oversee daily operations, collaborate with communication and finance teams, and assess processes for enhancements.
  • Financial Management: Build relationships for financial transactions, oversee budgets and expenditures, prepare stakeholder reports, and suggest operational adjustments based on financial insights.
  • Communication Strategies: Assist in developing project communication strategies, ensure effective stakeholder communication, gather and organize data for communication needs, and contribute to website content creation.
  • Reporting Duties: Prepare and submit reports on impact and progress, ensure accurate data collection and reporting, and monitor project timelines to promptly address any challenges.
  • Event Coordination: Assist in the planning, organization, and execution of various project-related events, including meetings, committees, lecture series, conferences, retreats, and workshops.
  • Travel Requirements: Occasional travel for events and meetings may be necessary.

Qualifications

Candidates should submit a cover letter and resume detailing their interest in this position and how their qualifications align with the requirements. We will review applications as they are received. Please note that visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

When assessing candidates, we will look for evidence of the following:

  • A Bachelor’s degree with 2-4 years of experience in administrative management or project management, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • A demonstrated commitment to supporting diversity, equity, access, inclusion, and wellbeing.
  • Ability to foster inclusive and equitable working relationships with faculty, staff, students, and project partners.
  • Proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven, and customer-oriented environment.
  • A track record of quickly establishing credibility and building essential relationships with faculty, managers, project team members, and both internal and external partners.
  • Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • A proactive and positive work ethic.
  • Basic understanding of project management principles, including planning, scheduling, and monitoring activities to meet project requirements.
  • Ability to effectively communicate project scope, goals, and responsibilities.
  • Skills in data gathering and reporting.

Why Work with Us

Comprehensive Benefits: We offer competitive compensation, generous time-off policies, and extensive benefits because we value our team members. Cornell is recognized nationally as an award-winning workplace for our health, wellbeing, sustainability, and diversity initiatives.

Our benefits include comprehensive healthcare options, generous retirement contributions, access to wellness programs, and employee discounts with local and national retailers.
