ABOUT MINERVA UNIVERSITY
Minerva University is a highly selective four-year institution challenging the traditional approach to higher education. Minerva has been intentionally designed — combining a reinvented curriculum, rigorous academic standards, cutting-edge technology, and an immersive global experience to prepare the most motivated students in the world to solve complex challenges. Students develop both academically and as culturally dexterous individuals, interacting with classmates from more than 40 different countries.
Minerva undergraduate students come from all over the world to spend their first year in residence in San Francisco, and their second year in Tokyo, and then live and study in a different major world city each year thereafter. These cities have included Seoul, Hyderabad, Berlin, Buenos Aires, London, and Taipei. These rich international experiences provide students with deep global understanding and skills.
ABOUT STUDENT LIFE
The Student Life team oversees the growth and development of students outside the classroom. Student Life staff members work within and across teams focused on residential life and Minerva community development, civic engagement and cultural immersion, mental health and wellbeing, and professional development of students to prepare them for post-graduation employment or graduate and professional school. These teams are unified by a shared goal of providing and/or supporting opportunities for integrated learning for our diverse and global student community.
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES

The manager will be adept at building and maintaining high level relationships in Japan as well as able to communicate and work effectively with partners to produce detail oriented workshops and programs for students. This individual will embrace the opportunity to work with young adults from more than 40 different countries who are navigating a professional, cultural, and academic journey and are eager and excited to grow through engaging in experiences in the places in which they live. Reporting to the City Director, the role will be an integral member of the Student Life Team in Tokyo, supporting all activities in the city and nationally, providing students with a holistic two-semester experience.
This is a full-time position. The role will commence as an independent contractor engagement for an initial six-month period, with eligibility for transition to employee status based on successful performance.
