About the Role
In order to achieve its ambition of serving 80,000-100,000 Fellows over the next decade, Braven is hiring an Associate Director, Accelerator Operations to own core tools and processes end-to-end and ensure operational readiness before launch of the Accelerator, Braven’s career-readiness credit-bearing course. You will set strategy for your domain by designing systems a semester or two in advance, managing rollout plans, training regional teammates, and holding readiness gate authority.
We build the maps, we teach people to read them, and we own the call on when something is ready to go. You'll own a piece of that.
In this role, you will oversee one to three operational domains that support the delivery of our Accelerator course. Domains are assigned based on the strengths you bring and where the team most needs depth, and fall into four general areas:
- Academic operations — grading systems and the tracking that flags students who need support before they fall behind
- Program delivery operations — logistics, staffing workflows, and execution standards behind live student sessions
- Student experience and compliance — onboarding communications, accessibility, accommodations, and data privacy
- Operational systems and knowledge management — workflow tooling, execution boards, and the documentation the team runs on
This role is on the Accelerator Operations team and reports directly to the Senior Director, Accelerator Enablement.
