An exciting opportunity to make a substantial difference.

Under new leadership, Brac University is seeking to move well beyond being one of the leading universities in Bangladesh and position itself as one of Asia’s leading international universities. To support this aim, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced individual with the ability to substantially increase the quality of student experiences at the University. If you haven’t considered Bangladesh in the past, then we urge you to think again. With one of the fastest growing economies in the world, the nation is a modern-day success story. Its rapidly diversifying economy is being powered by a talented and youthful population. Brac University is playing an integral role in the development of skilled graduates for a knowledge-based economy. If you have experience of delivering a broad range of developmental activities for young adults or successfully managing an alumni-relations or similar type of membership-based organization you will thrive in this role.

Although only eighteen years old, Brac University has rapidly established itself as Bangladesh’s leading private university. We now seek to be recognized as a high performing international university by delivering teaching excellence producing impactful research, and being recognized as a leader in student experience. We are proud to be associated with BRAC, the world’s largest NGO and share its commitment to upholding human values and supporting sustainable development.

You will develop a range of non-credit bearing community engagement activities for students that concentrate on the development of important soft skills. You will also create outreach activities that build awareness of Brac University values among potential students and the wider community at large. You will put in place a range of policies and procedures that provide structure and support to the student experience. You will also build a comprehensive alumni relations function recognizing the importance of this key stakeholder group to the University now and in the future.

You will ideally have a well-developed understanding of higher education in the national and international context. Demonstrated success of building developmental activities for young adults would be highly beneficial as would experience of managing the activities of diverse membership groups. Furthermore, evidence of understanding and successfully responding to the needs of a broad stakeholder groups will be required.

Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work with young adults is essential. Experience of undertaking similar previous assignments would be beneficial.
