About Schmidt Science Fellows

At Schmidt Science Fellows, 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 Science Leadership Program consists of three ~7-day convenings each year, which have previously been held in locations around the globe, including, but not limited to, Northern California, Cambridge, Massachusetts, London, and Oxford, UK.

Each SLP convening 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.

The Position

We are seeking a dedicated and proactive SLP Implementation Manager to support the day-to-day planning and delivery of our Science Leadership Program through meticulous preparation, coordination, and execution.

Reporting to the SLP Director (who leads the overall vision, design, management, and delivery of the Program), you will play a key role in ensuring smooth, high-quality execution across each convening, collaborating with internal teams and external partners to help create an outstanding experience for participants.

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organized professional with strong experience in project coordination or management, a passion for developing the next generation of science leaders, and a clear orientation toward detail, follow-through, and service to participants.
