Furthermore, this role will lead the Center into its next phase of growth by overseeing grant management, managing external contractors, and potentially spearheading a pioneering new Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiative. To ensure the Center runs flawlessly, the Operations & Project Manager also provides daily workflow direction and task delegation to the Center's support staff. Furthermore, this role provides comprehensive administrative support for general Center operations and assists the Faculty Directors with administrative and operational needs related to their classes, academic work, and overarching Center initiatives as directed.
