About The Position

We are seeking an Assistant Director, Pava Center. The strategic priorities of the Assistant Director, Pava Center, are to sustain growth for the Pava Center, continue to expand engagement and collaboration across all ten Johns Hopkins schools, and empower more successful ventures. This position will help create capacity for expanding programming, deepening co-development of initiatives to create a cohesive, cooperative ecosystem across campus through a high degree of enthusiasm, energy, and creativity for entrepreneurship. This leadership role will build on prior experience mentoring young organizations and/or working with students and universities and a demonstrated ability to work with partners from multiple sectors. The Pava Center is the Johns Hopkins University center for student entrepreneurship and innovation. Uniquely housed in the University's Tech Ventures division, the Pava Center collaborates with stakeholders across campus to support undergrads to post-docs. Programming facilitates dynamic experiential-learning, designed to expand opportunities for all, with long-term career relevance. The Pava Center is grounded in Baltimore, with an eye toward the world, seeking to build the teams of tomorrow by empowering creators and change-makers, entrepreneurs and innovators, doers and go-getters. The Assistant Director supports commercialization activities by helping to ensure that students, alumni, and community changemakers have access to appropriate resources to support them in various capacities. As part of the startup ecosystem at JHTV, the Pava Center operates out of an open-office and co-working space in Remington, on the edge of the JHU Homewood campus. While a mix of in-person and online programming is offered by the office, due to the highly collaborative nature of the job and the support offered to students, this role is primarily in-person.
