Dear FCCU Graduates,

Amal Academy is hiring for the role of Program Manager.

Company Overview: Amal Academy (amalacademy.org) is an education startup launched out of Stanford University in 2013. Our vision is a society where everyone reaches their full potential, starting with an education system in Pakistan that creates lifelong learners, self-starters, and problem solvers. To achieve this, our approach has been to create a model platform through our Career-Prep Fellowship and ultimately integrate our programming into the public university curriculum. We are working to achieve systems-level change by mobilizing our Fellows and Alumni (a community of 10,000+ as of Dec 2022) to live lives of purpose and engage in moral leadership. We are also continuing to explore ways to increase our impact through our Amal Labs initiatives, where we have created podcasts, hosted book clubs, run teacher training programs, explored mental health counseling, and experimented with approaches to help curb pollution and address climate change.

What you’ll do:

• You will be responsible for managing all aspects of the Amal Career Prep Fellowship batches from start to end (3 months for the Fellowship and beyond that for ongoing support). You will be the primary session facilitator, adding your own flavor to the Amal Career-Prep Fellowship curriculum (overview here), providing detailed feedback to Fellows on their experiential learning projects, supporting them in their job applications and interview preparation, and providing them one-on-one career counseling to help them progress towards their professional goals and grow and develop as individuals.
•  You will work alongside a Program Associate to create a high-touch and rich learning experience for your Fellows. Guided by a Cluster Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring your Fellowship team does what it takes to give the Fellows the support they need. You’ll also be responsible for the growth and development of your Program Associate, who is typically a recent college graduate and an alumnus of the Amal Fellowship.

•  In the time between semesters, you will be working collaboratively with the rest of the Amal team to help identify, motivate, and select the next cohort of Amal Fellows. You’ll be expected to design and implement workshops and info-sessions at universities, develop relationships with new university partners, lead teams of Amal Ambassadors in on-campus guerilla marketing, conduct candidate interviews and orientation sessions – all with the mindset of continually improving the process to bring the most deserving and passionate Fellows into the program – those that will continue on a journey of growth and improvement beyond the program and become agents of change themselves.
•          We believe that leadership is everyone’s business – those that take this principle to heart will see themselves excelling at Amal. In addition to core Fellowship responsibilities, you will be expected to take initiatives to work on and lead diverse and cross-functional projects across the organization, including in HR, Marketing, Operations, Curriculum, Alumni Management, Volunteer Coordination and so on.

Hours:

• This position is designed to be a full-time role, working 5.5 days a week with Sundays as a half-day and Mondays as the weekly holiday (as Fellowship sessions are primarily on Sat/Sun).
• We switch to Sundays as the weekly holiday for 2-3 weeks between Fellowship semesters.

Location & Travel:

• We are currently hiring for Program Managers based in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad; who are available on-site/in-person at our Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad offices respectively during the week, and available for sessions (Sat-Sun) in our partner universities. Program Managers in Lahore may also be assigned Fellowships in nearby cities, which will entail travel and out-station stay for session days (Sat-Sun) during the Fellowship.

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation will be aligned with the candidates’ experiences and qualifications and will be competitive with the market.
• The position offers an excellent platform for professional development, interpersonal growth and making a positive impact on the Fellows’ lives. Apart from monetary benefits, Amal offers health insurance, a friendly work environment, professional training opportunities, and flexible timings.

Requirements

• We are looking for candidates with 2-5 years of professional experience. Prior experience in the training, teaching or education sector is a bonus; however, anyone with a passion for education, training, and coaching is encouraged to apply.
• Candidates with less than two years of professional full-time work experience will not be considered. The position comes with a minimum commitment of one year and opportunities for growth to different roles within the organization.
