Job Description
The Liu Idea Lab for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (Lilie) is seeking a Program Coordinator . This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and help Rice entrepreneurs bring their cutting-edge ideas to market. In this role, you will support Lilie’s program managers and leadership in the coordination and execution of our full suite of programs and events. As a Program Coordinator you will participate in brainstorming and planning at the earliest stages, carry out the day-to-day tactical work, and help bring our events to life day-of. In practice, this means you will support Lilie as an intellectual thought partner (we want you to bring your ideas with you), you will manage the ordering and expensing process for team and programmatic supplies (time management and attention to detail are a must), and you will coordinate logistics amongst the Lilie team and with our partners across campus (teamwork and collaboration are key).
Lilie is the beating heart of entrepreneurship, innovation, venture capital, and research commercialization for the whole Rice University campus. Our Center combines over 50 for-credit, experiential courses every year with a suite of programs, resources, competitions, and accelerators to help entrepreneurs and innovators at every stage of their journey. Our mission is to serve Rice University students, faculty, and alumni from all majors and degree programs in helping them go from idea to real-world impact. We’ve been ranked as the #1 Graduate Entrepreneurship program in the country for the last 5 years in a row, but need your help to aim even higher in the future.
The ideal candidate works collaboratively and has strong opinions that are adaptable to new information. The ideal candidate is a proactive communicator and service-oriented, through and through.
Special Instructions to Applicants: All interested applicants should attach a resume in the Supporting Documents section of the application, preferably in a PDF format to avoid any formatting issues.
Workplace Requirements
This position is exclusively on-site, necessitating all duties to be performed in-person. At Lilie we meet students where they are. Supporting students on a residential college campus looks a little different than your typical office job. We strive for a healthy work-life balance that also reflects college students as our main constituent. From time to time, work on nights and weekends could be required. Per Rice policy 440 , work arrangements may be subject to change.
Hiring Range
This is a full-time, benefits-eligible position, and the proposed salary is $59,000 - $65,000, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Exempt (salaried) positions under FLSA are not eligible for overtime.
This is a two-year term limited position. Continued employment is contingent on the renewal of funding.
